Safety rules
The solar inverter VACON 8000 SOLAR has been designed to be installed in enclosed places. It shall
be protected against harsh weather conditions.
The solar inverter VACON 8000 SOLAR can only be opened by qualified technicians. Inside the in-
vert-er module, there is no element which can be fixed or adjusted by the user.
Even when the solar inverter has been disconnected from mains and solar panels, wait until the
con-trol panel switches off. After this, it is recommended that you wait at least 5 minutes before
opening, and /or making any kind of alteration or connection to, the device.
Check that there is no voltage present before handling and performing any kind of work on the de-
vice. To verify the absence of voltage, type III measurement elements (1000 volts) must be used.
Do not perform any measurement or test when the VACON 8000 SOLAR is connected to mains or
solar panels.
Do not perform any kind of dielectric strength test on the VACON 8000 SOLAR. Unless the appropri-
ate process is followed, performing this test may damage the inverter module.
Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPEs) must be used:
•
Helmet
•
Safety goggles for electrical risk
•
Safety footwear
•
Hearing protection
•
Electrically resistant gloves adequate for the voltage
•
Protective gloves against mechanical risk
ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
There is a serious risk of electrick shock, even after the device has been discon-
nected from the mains supply or solar panels. This electrick shok may cause death
or serious injury.
If the short circuit current of the grid is higher than the short circuit withstanding
capability of the QA2, additional circuit breaker must be installed. if the possible
short circuit current at the grid point of connection is higher than the solar inverter’s
breaking capacity, additional current limiting device must be installed (see chapter
5,3).
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protec-
tion provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Access to the photo-voltaic field is strictly prohibited!
