Safety DANGER Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and cables of the inverter even after the inverter has been switched off and disconnected. Severe injuries or death if the cables and/or terminals in the inverter are touched. Only authorised electricians who are approved by the supply grid operator may open, install or maintain the inverter. › Keep the inverter closed when the unit is in operation. › Do not touch the cables and/or terminals when switching the unit on and off. › Do not make any modifications to the inverter. The electrician is responsible for observing all...

The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the PV modules into AC voltage and feeds it into the grid. The feed-in process begins when there is sufficient sunlight and a specific minimum voltage is present in the inverter. If, as it gets dark, the voltage drops below the minimum voltage value, the feed-in operation ends and the inverter switches off.

Mechanical components DC disconnect The DC disconnect is located on the bottom side of the inverter housing. The DC disconnect is used to disconnect the inverter from the PV generator in order to carry out service. Disconnecting the inverter from the PV generator Switch the DC disconnects from 1 (ON) to 0 (OFF). Connecting the inverter to the PV generator Switch the DC disconnects from 0 (OFF) to 1 (ON). The inverter has the following interfaces for communication and remote monitoring: • RS485 interface • Ethernet interface • USB interface • S0 interface You configure the interfaces and the...
