providing the model, device code, serial number and year of construction. 

 

Many accidents are caused by insufficient knowledge and non-application of the safety rules, 
which must be put into practice during operation and/or maintenance operations. 
To avoid accidents, before carrying out any operation and/or maintenance, read, understand 
and follow the precautions and warnings contained in this manual. 
The  following  indications  have  been  used  to  identify  the  safety  messages  included  in  this 
manual:

The front panel can be cleaned only with a soft cloth, do not use abrasive products, liquid 
detergents or solvents. 

 

INFORMATION! Disposal of old electrical and electronic equipment (applicable in 

European countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems). 

 
Products bearing the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin cannot be disposed of with normal 
household waste. Old electrical and electronic products must be recycled at a special facility 
capable of treating these products and disposing of their components. To find out where and 
how to deliver these products to the place closest to you, contact the appropriate municipal 
office. Proper recycling and disposal helps to preserve nature and prevent harmful effects on 
health and the environment. 

 

This manual describes the RN200 controller. 

 

BLOCK

: it is used to indicate an anomaly that makes it impossible to use renewable sources, 

and causes the inverters to automatically switch off. 

WARNING

:  it  is  used  to  indicate  an  anomaly  that  requires  operator  intervention,  but  which 

does not prevent the use of renewable sources.
