Safety

EVERVOLT

 

Hybrid

 

inverter is designed and certified to meet stringent UL1741 / IEEE 

1547 and ANSI / IEEE 62.41 / 62.42 lighting and surge requirements.
However, every PV installation is unique. Additional external UL / NEC AC and DC 
surge protection and solid grounding practices are recommended.

Lightning and surge protection

Battery safety instructions

When accessing the internal circuit of the inverter, it is very 
important to wait 5 minutes before operating the power circuit or 
demounting the electrolyte capacitors inside the device. Do not open 
the device beforehand since the capacitors require time to 
sufficiently discharge!    

 

CAUTION!

Use insulated tools when installing the device. Individual protective 
tools must be worn during installation, electrical connection and 
maintenance.

 

CAUTION!

NOTE!

The inverter is heavy. Use of lift equipment is recommended. 

NOTE!

Make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is 
not undersized.

NOTE!

Measure the voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC- with a 
multi-meter (impedance at least 1Mohm) to ensure that the device 
is discharged before working (35VDC) inside the device.

EVERVOLT

 

Hybrid

 

inverter should be coupled with a high voltage battery. The battery 

must comply with UL 1973 and must be intrinsically safe. 

As accumulator batteries may contain potential electric shock and short-circuit 
current dangers, the following warnings should be observed during battery 
replacement to avoid accidents that might be thus resulted:

Ÿ

Do not wear watches, rings or similar metallic items.

Ÿ

Use insulated tools.

Ÿ

Put on rubber shoes and gloves.

Ÿ

Do not place metallic tools and similar metallic parts on the batteries.

Ÿ

Switch off loads connected to the batteries before dismantling battery 
connection terminals.

Ÿ

Only personnel with proper expertise

 carry out the maintenance of  

 should

accumulator batteries.
