Do  not  remove  the  casing.  Inverter  contains  no  user  serviceable 
parts.  Refer  servicing  to  qualified  service  personal.  All  wiring  and 
electrical  installation  should  be  conducted  by  a  qualified  service 
personnel and must meet national requirements of AS/NZS 3000. 

Both  AC  and  DC  voltage  sources  are  terminated  inside  the  PV 
Inverter. Please disconnect these circuits before servicing.

When  a  photovoltaic  panel  is  exposed  to  light,  it  generates  a  DC 
voltage.  When  connected  to  this  equipment,  a  photovoltaic  panel 
will charge the DC link capacitors.

Energy stored in this equipment’s DC link capacitors presents a risk 
of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the grid 
and photovoltaic panels, high voltages may still exist inside the PV-
Inverter.  Do  not  remove  the  casing  until  at  least  10  minutes  after 
disconnecting all power sources.

This  unit  is  designed  to  feed  power  to  the  public  power  to  the 
public grid (utility) 

 

only. Do not connect this unit to an AC source or 

generator.  Connecting  Inverter  to  external  devices  could  result  in 
serious damage to your equipment.

Carefully remove the unit from its packing and inspect for external 
damage.  If  you  find  any  imperfections,  please  contact  your  local 
dealer.

Although designed to meet all safety requirements, some parts and 
surfaces of Inverter are still hot during operation. To reduce the risk 
of injury, do not touch the heat sink at the back of the PV-Inverter 
or nearby surfaces while Inverter is operating.
