Information on type label

Description

This inverter has no transformer.

10 s

Risk of death by electrocution

Potentially fatal voltage is present when the inverter is in operation that remains for 

10 seconds after being disconnected from power.
Never open the inverter. The inverter contains no components that must be main-

tained or repaired by the operator or installer. Opening the cover will void the war-

ranty.
Read the manual delivered with the inverter before working with the inverter and 

follow the instructions contained in the manual.

The housing of the inverter must be grounded if this is required by local regulations.
