WARNING!
Operating the equipment incorrectly or poor workmanship can cause serious injury or damage. The inverter may only be installed and commissioned by trained personnel acting in accordance with the technical regulations. Before working with the device, ensure that you have read and understood all the documents provided (both hard copies enclosed with the product and documents provided online). When solar modules are exposed to light, they supply voltage to the inverter. This document does not describe all of the possible system configurations. Fronius International GmbH declares that the radio equipment type Fronius Primo is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.fronius.com

WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger due to grid voltage and DC voltage from solar modules that are exposed to light.

  • Ensure that both the AC side and the DC side of the inverter are de-energized before carrying out any connection work.
  • Only an authorized electrical engineer is permitted to connect this equipment to the public grid.
  • The DC main switch is only to be used to de-energies the power stage set. The connection area is still live when the DC main switch is switched off.
  • Ensure that the power stage set and connection area are disconnected from one another before carrying out any maintenance or service tasks.
  • The power stage set, which is enclosed in a separate housing, must only be disconnected from the connection area when in a de-energized state.
  • Maintenance and servicing in the power stage set of the inverter must only be carried out by Fronius-trained service technicians.

WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger due to residual voltage in capacitors. Wait for the capacitors to discharge. The discharge time is five minutes.
WARNING! An inadequate ground conductor connection can cause serious injury or damage. The housing screws provide a suitable ground conductor connection for grounding the housing and must NOT be replaced by any other screws that do not provide a reliable ground conductor connection.

CAUTION! Risk of damage to the inverter from dirt or water on the terminals and contacts of the connection area.

  • When drilling, ensure that terminals and contacts in the connection area do not become dirty or wet.
  • Without a power stage set, the mounting bracket does not conform to the protection class of the inverter as a whole and so must not be installed without the power stage set.
  • The mounting bracket should be protected from dirt and moisture during installation.

CAUTION! Risk of damage to the inverter as the result of incorrectly tightened terminals. Incorrectly tightened terminals can cause heat da-mage to the inverter that may result in a fire. When connecting AC and DC cables, ensure that all the terminals are tightened to the specified torque.
CAUTION! Risk of damage to inverter from overload.

  • The maximum amperage when connecting to a single DC terminal is 36 A.
  • Connect the DC+ and DC- cables to the DC+ and DC- terminals on the inverter, taking care to ensure that the polarity is correct.

CAUTION! Risk of damage to inverters and other live photovoltaic system components due to poor or unprofessional installation. Poor or unprofessional installation can cause overheating of cables and terminal connections and result in arcs. These can cause heat damage, which in turn may lead to fires.

Observe the following when connecting AC and DC cables:

  • Tighten all terminals to the torque specified in the Operating Instructions
  • Tighten all grounding terminals (PE / GND), including free ones, to the torque specified in the Operating Instructions
  • Do not overload cables
  • Check cables for damage and verify that they are laid correctly
  • Take note of the safety instructions, Operating Instructions and any local connection regulations
    Using fastening screws, always screw the inverter firmly to the mounting bracket to the torque specified in the Operating Instructions. Ensure that the fastening screws are tight before starting the inverter!

NOTE! Ensure the polarity is correct when connecting the DC cables.
NOTE! Degree of protection IP 65 is only applicable if

  • The inverter is placed in the mounting bracket and permanently attached using screws
  • The cover for the data communication area is permanently attached to the inverter with screws Degree of protection IP 20 applies to the mounting bracket with no inverter.

NOTE! When connecting aluminum cables:

  • Observe national and international guidelines regarding the connection of aluminum cables
  • Follow the instructions of the cable manufacturer
  • Check every year that the cables are securely attached in accordance with the specified torque

NOTE! For grounding solar module frames or racks, the relevant specifications from the solar module manufacturer must be taken into account along with national guidelines.
NOTE! Observe the ESD guidelines when using option cards.
NOTE! If the inverter is installed in Australia or New Zealand (required standard: AS4777.2:2020), the inverter must not be used as part of a three- phase combination, as there is no communication link between the inverters
Observe the manufacturer‘s connection, Installation and Operating Instructions at all times. To reduce the hazard potential to a minimum, perform all installation and connection work carefully according to the instructions and regulations. Refer to the device Operating Instructions / Installation Instructions for the tightening torques to be used at the relevant terminal connections.
