Safety

WARNING! Incorrect operation or poorly executed work can cause serious injury or damage. Only qualified staff are authorised to commission your inverter and only within the scope of the respective technical regulations. Read the safety rules before commissioning the equipment or carrying out maintenance work.

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- energised before carrying out any connection work.
– Only an authorised electrical engineer is permitted to connect this equipment to the public grid.

WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger due to grid voltage and DC voltage from solar modules.
– The DC main switch is only to be used to de-energise 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.

WARNING! Shoddy workmanship can cause serious injury and material damage. A surge protective device must only ever be installed and connected by a qualified electrical engineer. Follow the safety rules. Ensure that both the AC side and the DC side of the inverter are de-energised before carrying out any installation and connection work.

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 damage 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.
– Fronius Symo: The maximum amperage when connecting to a single DC terminal is 33 A.
– Fronius Eco: The maximum amperage when connecting to a single DC terminal is 15 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.
– The maximum DC input voltage must not exceed 1000 V DC.

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! Degree of protection IP 66 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

Protection class IP20 applies to the mounting bracket with no inverter and venting duct!

NOTE! The solar modules connected to the inverter must comply with the IEC 61730 Class A standard.

NOTE! When photovoltaic modules are exposed to light they supply current to the inverter.

NOTE!
– Ensure that the grid neutral conductor is grounded. This may not be the case for IT grids (insulated grids with no grounding); it will then not be possible to use the inverter.
– In order to use the inverter, the neutral conductor must be connected.
A neutral conductor that is too small may adversely affect the inverter feeding energy into the grid.
The neutral conductor must therefore be the same size as the other live conductors.

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.
