eplacement of the buffer battery

Replacement of the buffer battery 

17

 may be necessary in case of:

1. Error signal on display

2. Reset of the date and time settings

The battery is of the 

CR2032 type

 and is installed on the motherboard 

17

.

Procedure to replace the buffer battery:

1.

 Disconnect the inverter by removing the AC and DC disconnect 

switches

2.

 Open the front cover

3.

 Remove the battery to be replaced

4.

 Install the new battery, taking care to handle it with insulating gloves in 

order not to compromise the charge and respecting the polarity shown on 

the diagram on the motherboard.

5.

 Close the front cover

6.

 Carry out the procedure for the commissioning of the inverter
