2.2 Intended use of the sonnenProtect
The sonnenProtect 4000 is an backup power unit designed to supplement the
sonnenBatterie 10. The sonnenProtect - in conjunction with the appropriate storage sys-
tem of the sonnen GmbH - serves to supply power in the event of a power failure. Any
other use is considered improper use.
Improper use poses a risk of death or injury to the user or third parties as well as damage to
the product and other items of value.
The following points must be observed at all times in order to ensure proper use :
• Only operate the sonnenProtect together with the right storage system.
• The sonnenProtect must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• The sonnenProtect must only be used in its original state without any user modifications
and only when in perfect working order.
• The sonnenProtect must only be connected to the storage system as described here.
• The interfaces of the sonnenProtect and the storage system must be connected in ac-
cordance with the product documentation.
• Generators (e. g. a PV system) must never be connected to the output line (AC line to
backup circuit, see Overview – sonnenProtect lines [P. 67]) of the sonnenProtect.
• The sonnenProtect must only be installed and used at suitable installation location.
• The transport and storage conditions must be observed.
• All repairs on the sonnenProtect must be performed by authorised service technicians
only.
Especially the following uses are not permissible:
• Operation in flammable environments or areas at risk of explosion.
• Operation in locations at risk of flooding.
• Bypassing, blocking or tampering with protective devices.
Danger due to electrical voltage inside the sonnenProtect
5 min
The sonnenProtect contains live electrical parts, which poses a risk of electrical shock. The
storage system inverter also contains capacitors which carry voltage even after the stor-
age system is switched off. As the sonnenProtect is connected to the inverter of the stor-
age system, this means that the voltage from the inverter also flows into the
sonnenProtect.
Therefore:
„
Disconnect the sonnenProtect and the storage system from the power (see Decom-
missioning the sonnenProtect [P. 75]).
Only then can the sonnenProtect be opened.
