Warranty and Supply Conditions
The warranty conditions are considered to be valid if the customer adhe-
res to the indications in this manual; any conditions deviating from those
described herein must be expressly agreed in the purchase order.
The equipment complies with the pertinent legislation currently in force in the country of in-
stallation and it has issued the corresponding declaration of conformity.
Not included in the supply
ABB accepts no liability for failure to comply with the instructions for correct installation and will
not be held responsible for systems upstream or downstream the equipment it has supplied.
It is absolutely forbidden to modify the equipment. Any modication, manipulation, or alteration
not expressly agreed with the manufacturer, concerning either hardware or software, shall re-
sult in the immediate cancellation of the warranty.
The Customer is fully liable for any modications made to the system.
Given the countless array of system congurations and installation envi-
ronments possible, it is essential to check the following: sufcient space
suitable for housing the equipment; airborne noise produced depending
on the environment; potential ammability hazards.
ABB will NOT be held liable for defects or malfunctions arising from: im-
proper use of the equipment; deterioration resulting from transportation
or particular environmental conditions; performing maintenance incor-
rectly or not at all; tampering or unsafe repairs; use or installation by
unqualied persons.
ABB will NOT be held responsible for the disposal of: displays, cables,
batteries, accumulators etc. The Customer shall therefore arrange for the
disposal of substances potentially harmful to the environment in accor-
dance with the legislation in force in the country of installation.

1- Introduction and general information
Field of use, general conditions
ABB shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever that may result from
incorrect or careless operations.
You may not use the equipment for a use that does not conform to that provided for in the
eld of use. The equipment MUST NOT be used by inexperienced staff, or even experienced
staff if carrying out operations on the equipment that fail to comply with the indications in this
manual and enclosed documentation.
Intended or allowed use
This equipment is a inverter designed for:
transforming a continuous electrical current (DC)
supplied by a photovoltaic generator (FV)
in an alternating electrical current (AC)
suitable for feeding into the public distribution grid.
Limits in field of use
The inverter can be used only with photovoltaic modules which have ground isolated input
poles, unless they are accessories installed that enable earthing of the inputs. In this case
you must install an insulating transformer on the AC side of the system.
Only a photovoltaic generator can be connected in the input of the inverter (do not connect
batteries or other sources of power supply).
The inverter can be connected to the electricity grid only in countries for which it has been
certied/approved.
The inverter cannot be connected to the DC side in parallel to other inverters to convert ener-
gy from a photovoltaic generator with a power greater than the nominal power of the single
inverter.
The inverter may only be used in compliance with all its technical characteristics.
Improper or prohibited use
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO:
• Install the equipment in environments subject to particular conditions of ammability or in
adverse or disallowed environmental conditions, (temperature and humidity).
• Use the equipment with safety devices which are faulty or disabled.
• Use the equipment or parts of the equipment by linking it to other machines or equipment,
unless expressly provided for.
• Modify operating parameters that are not accessible to the operator and/or parts of the
equipment to vary its performance or change its isolation.
• Clean with corrosive products that could eat into parts of the equipment or generate elec-
trostatic charges.
• Use or install the appliance or parts of it without having read and understood the contents of
the user and maintenance manual.
• Heat or dry rags and clothing on the parts in temperature. In addition to being hazardous,
doing so would compromise component ventilation and cooling.
