In addition to what is explained below, the safety and installation information provided in the
installation manual must be read and followed. The technical documentation and the interface
and management software for the product are available at the website.
The device must be used in the manner described in the manual. If this is not the case the
safety devices guaranteed by the inverter might be ineffective.

The models of inverter to which this guide refers are available in 3 power ratings: 3.0 kW, 3.6 kW and 4.2 kW.
The only difference in terms of components between the three power levels is the number of input connectors: 2 pairs in PVI-3.0/3.6-TL-OUTD models; 3 (2x MPPT1
and 1x MPPT2) pairs in PVI-4.2-TL-OUTD models. Two types are available for each model: Standard or with DC disconnect switch (Version -S).

Environmental checks
- Consult the technical data to check the environmental parameters to be observed
- Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight must be avoided as it may cause:
1. power limitation phenomena in the inverter (with a resulting decreased energy production by the system)
2. premature wear of the electrical/electromechanical components
3. premature wear of the mechanical components (gaskets) and of the user interface (display)
- Do not install in small closed rooms where air cannot circulate freely
-

'RQRWLQVWDOOLQSODFHVZKHUHJDVHVRUÀDPPDEOHVXEVWDQFHVPD\EHSUHVHQW
- Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected,
because of the noise (about 50dB(A) at 1 m) that the inverter makes during operation

temperatures
- Reduction in the dielectric resistance of the air that, in the presence of high operating voltages (DC input), can
create electric arcs (discharges) that can reach the point of damaging the inverter
All installations at altitudes of over 2000 metres must be assessed case by case with the ABB Service
department.
Installation position
-
,QVWDOORQDZDOORUVWURQJVWUXFWXUHFDSDEOHRIEHDULQJWKHZHLJKWRIWKHHTXLSPHQW
- Install in safe, easy to reach places
- If possible, install at eye-level so that the display and status LEDs can be seen easily
-
,QVWDOODWDKHLJKWWKDWFRQVLGHUVWKHKHDYLQHVVRIWKHHTXLSPHQW
- Install vertically with a maximum inclination of +/- 5°
- Choose a place with enough space around the unit to permit easy installation and
removal of the object from the mounting surfaces; comply with the indicated minimum
distances
- For a multiple installation, position the inverters side by side; if the space available does
not allow this arrangement, position the inverters in a staggered arrangement as shown

Final installation of the inverter must not compromise access to any disconnection
devices that may be located externally.
Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions available on the website and
evaluate any possible exclusion due to improper installation.
