Quick installation guide for RPI H3 inverters

General Safety Instructions

1

DANGER

Risk of death by electrocution

Potentially fatal voltage is applied to the solar 
inverter during operation. This potentially fatal 
voltage is still present for 15 seconds after all 
power sources have been disconnected.

 

Ź

Never open the solar inverter. 

 

Ź

Always disconnect the solar inverter from 
power before installation, open the DC 
disconnection switch and make sure neither 
can be accidentally reconnected.

 

Ź

Wait at least 60 seconds until the capacitors 
have discharged.

DANGER

Risk of death or serious injury from elec-
trocution

Potentially fatal voltage may be applied to the 
DC connections of the solar inverter. When light 
is falling on solar modules, they immediately start 
producing energy. They do so, even when the 
sun is not shining.

 

Ź

Never disconnect the solar modules when the 
solar inverter is powered. 

 

Ź

First switch off the grid connection so that 
the solar inverter cannot feed energy into the 
grid. 

 

Ź

Turn the DC disconnection switch to position 

OFF

.

 

Ź

Make sure the DC connections cannot be 
accidentally touched.

 

Ɣ

Read this quick installation guide 

before

 you start installing 

the inverter.

 

Ɣ

The solar inverter can be safely and normally operated if 
installed and used in accordance with this manual (see 
IEC 62109-5.3.3). Delta Energy Systems is not responsible 
for damage incurred by failure to observe the installation and 
commissioning instructions in this manual. For this reason, 
be sure to observe and follow all instructions!

 

Ɣ

Installation and commissioning may only be performed by 

TXDOL¿HGHOHFWULFLDQVXVLQJWKHLQVWDOODWLRQDQGFRPPLVVLRQ

-

ing instructions found in this manual.

 

Ɣ

The solar inverter must be disconnected from power and the 
solar modules before any work on it can be performed.

 

Ɣ

The solar inverter has a high leakage current value. The 
ground wire 

must

 be connected before commissioning.

 

Ɣ

Do not remove any warning signs that the manufacturer has 
installed on the solar inverter.

 

Ɣ

Improper handling of the solar inverter may result in physical 
injury and damage to property. For this reason, observe and 
follow all general safety instructions and warnings.

 

Ɣ

The solar inverter contains no components that must be 
maintained or repaired by the operator or installer. All repairs 
must be performed by Delta Energy Systems. Opening the 
cover will void the warranty.

 

Ɣ

Do not disconnect any cables when the solar inverter is pow-
ered due to risk of a fault arc.

 

Ɣ

To prevent lightning strikes, follow the relevant regulations 
applicable in your country.

 

Ɣ

The surface of the solar inverter can become very hot dur-
ing operation. Use safety gloves when working on the solar 
inverter.

 

Ɣ

Only devices in compliance with SELV (EN 69050) may be 
connected to the RS485 interfaces.

ply with the IP65 protection rating. Unused connections must 
be closed by placing cover caps on the solar inverter.
