2.2 Safety Precautions

DANGER!
High voltages in the inverter. Death resulting from electric shock and burns.

The following work on the inverter must be carried out by a qualified personnel only.

• Electrical installation
• Repairs
• Modifications

Even when no external voltage is applied, high voltages can still be present in the device.
These high voltages can result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION!
Enclosure body can get hot during operation. Risk of burn injuries. Do not touch.

The temperature of some parts of the inverter enclosure – in particular the temperature of
the heatsinks – can reach over 60 °C in normal operation.

• Only touch lid and display during operation.

NOTICE!
Overvoltages in the inverter Destruction of the inverter and voiding of warranty
claims.

• Please contact your installer whenever the inverter reports an error.
