•

Do not connect the output to other power sources!

•

The inverter must only be used for the purpose specified by the manufacturer!

•

When working on the inverter, always disconnect it from the mains!

•

A failure of the protective device means that danger is still possible from parts which remain

under voltage during repair!

•

Do not operate the inverter if housing or cables are damaged!

•

Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight in order to avoid additional heating!

•

The inverter must be positioned and fixed in such a way that it cannot fall over or fall down!

•

The inverter must be kept in a safe place out of the reach of children!

•

The inverter must not be operated in a damp or wet environment!

•

Air intake and outlets must not be blocked!

•

Ensure good ventilation!

•

Do not operate without connecting to ground. Shock may result!

1.2 Cables:

If cables have to be inserted through metal walls or other sharp-edged materials, use a cable
duct or cable bushing!

•

Do not lay cables loosely or in sharp bends in electrically conductive materials!

•

Do not pull the cables!

•

Do not lay 115/230 VAC mains cable and 12/24 V DC cable together in the same cable duct!

•

The specified minimum cable cross-section must be complied with!

•

Fix cables properly!

•

Lay cables in such a way that no one can trip over them!

•

Lay cables in such a way that they are not exposed to the risk of damage!
