Standards and regulations
IEC 60364-7-712:2002:
Requirements for special installations or locations – Solar pho-
tovoltaic (PV) power supply systems.
Technical rules
The installation must be suited to the on-site conditions and
comply with local regulations and technical rules.
Accident prevention regulations
The inverter must be installed by an authorised, skilled electri-
cian who is approved by the supply grid operator. The electri-
cian is responsible for observing existing standards and regu-
lations.
The proper and safe operation of this unit requires proper
transportation, storage, assembly and installation, as well as
careful operation and maintenance.
Only skilled electricians who have read and fully understood
all safety instructions contained in these operating and instal-
lation instructions, as well as other instructions concerning
assembly, operation and maintenance, may work on this unit.
When the unit is operating, certain parts of the unit unavoid-
ably carry hazardous voltages, which can lead to death or seri-
ous bodily injury. The precautions listed below must be fol-
lowed in order to minimise the risk of death or injury.
–
The unit must be installed in compliance with safety regula-
tions as well as all other relevant national or local regula-
tions. To ensure operational safety, proper earthing, con-
ductor dimensioning and appropriate protection against
short circuiting must be provided.
–
All covers on the unit must remain closed during opera-
tion.
–
Prior to performing any visual inspections or maintenance,
ensure that the power supply has been switched off and
is prevented from being inadvertently switched back on.
If measurements must be taken while the power supply
is switched on, never touch the electrical connections.
Remove all jewellery from your wrists and fi ngers. Ensure
that the testing equipment is in good and safe operating
condition.
–
When working on the unit while it is switched on, stand on
an insulated surface, thus ensuring that there is no earthed
connection.
–
Follow the instructions contained in these operating and
installation instructions exactly, and observe all danger,
warning and caution information.
–
This list does not constitute a complete listing of all meas-
ures required for the safe operation of the unit. Contact
your specialty dealer if any specifi c problems arise which are
not suffi ciently covered for the purposes of the buyer.
Modifi cations
Modifi cations to the inverter are generally prohibited. Changes
to the surroundings of the inverter are only permitted if they
comply with national standards.
Transportation
The inverter is subjected to extensive testing and inspections
in our test fi eld. This is how we ensure the high quality of our
products. Our inverters leave our factory in proper electrical
and mechanical condition. Special packaging provides for a
safe and careful transportation. However, transport damage
may still occur. The shipping company is responsible in such
cases.
Thoroughly inspect the inverter upon delivery. If you discover
any damage to the packaging which indicates that the inverter
may have been damaged, or if you discover any visible damage
to the inverter, notify the responsible shipping company imme-
diately.
If necessary, KACO new energy GmbH will assist you. Damage
reports must be received by the shipping company in writing
within six days of receipt of the goods.
When transporting the inverter, only the original packaging is
to be used, as this provides for a safe transportation.
