Removing the Front Cover and Accessing the Internal Terminal

Block.

WARNING

: Before performing the following instructions, ALWAYS

perform the "

ELECTRICAL DISCONNECTION OF THE

INVERTER FROM THE SWITCH BOX PROCEDURE"

located

and described in section 3.4 1.

To remove the front cover, loosen the 4 screws shown in fig 10 pos “A”, using the
flathead screwdriver provided in the box with the inverter.

Fig.10 - Aurora Inverter with Front Panel and DC Switch

When the connection operations are completed, reinstall the front cover and tighten the
4 screws into the cover with at least 1.5Nm (13.2 in-lbs) torque to ensure proper
waterproof sealing.
