Symbols on the Inverter
Inverter
This symbol defines the function of the green LED. The green LED
indicates the operating state of the inverter.
Observe the
documentation
This symbol defines the function of the red LED. The red LED
indicates a fault. If the red LED lights up, contact your installer.
Bluetooth
This symbol defines the function of the blue LED. The blue LED
indicates that communication via
Bluetooth
is activated.

GLOSSARY
Bluetooth*
Bluetooth
is a radio technology that allows the inverter and other communication devices to communicate with
each other. For Bluetooth communication, the
Bluetooth
devices do not need to be within sight of each other.
DC switch-disconnector
The DC switch-disconnector enables the inverter to be safely disconnected from the PV array. The DC switch-
disconnector may be operated by skilled persons only.
Energy
Energy is the power which a system can supply or consume within a certain time unit. Energy is measured in Wh
(watt hours). If, for instance, your inverter feeds in for half an hour at 3,000 W and half an hour at 2,000 W, it
will have fed a total of 2,500 Wh into the electricity grid.
Multi-function relay
The multi-function relay is an optional accessory to the inverter. The multi-function relay acts as an interface for
managing a fault indicator or another external load. Depending on the parameters and measured values, the
inverter determines when the connected load is switched on and off.
Power
Power is the product of voltage and electrical current strength. Power is measured in W (watts). The power shown
in the display is an instantaneous value. It indicates the power your inverter is currently feeding into the electricity
grid.
