General safety instructions

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 80 seconds after all 

power sources have been disconnected.

 

► Never open the solar inverter  

 

► Always disconnect the solar inverter from 

power before installation, open the AC/DC 

isolating switch and make sure neither can 

be accidentally reconnected.

 

► Wait at least 80 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 

 

► Never disconnect the solar modules when the 

solar inverter is powered  

 

► First switch off the grid connection so that 

the solar inverter cannot feed energy into the 

grid  

 

► Turn the DC disonnecting switch to position 

OFF

 

 

► Make sure the DC connections cannot be 

accidentally touched 

 

● 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 

operating instructions in this manual. For this reason, be sure 

to observe and follow all instructions!

 

● Installation and commissioning may only be performed by 

qualified electricians using the installation and commission-

ing instructions found in this manual 

 

● The solar inverter must be disconnected from power and the 

solar modules before any work on it can be performed.

 

● The solar inverter has a high leakage current value  The 

ground wire 

must

 be connected before commissioning.

 

● Do not remove any warning signs that the manufacturer has 

installed on the solar inverter 

 

● 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 

 

● 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 

 

● Do not disconnect any cables when the solar inverter is pow-

ered due to risk of a fault arc 

 

● To prevent lightning strikes, follow the relevant regulations 

applicable in your country.

 

● The surface of the solar inverter can become very hot dur-

ing operation  Use safety gloves when working on the solar 

inverter 

 

● The solar inverter is very heavy. The solar inverter must be 

lifted and carried by at least two people. 

 

● Only devices in compliance with SELV (EN 69050) may be 

connected to the RS485 and USB interfaces 

 

● All connections must be sufficiently insulated in order to com-

ply with the IP65 protection rating  Unused connections must 

be closed by placing cover caps on the solar inverter.
