1. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
General safety recommendations
• Only qualied electricians are allowed to install the
inverter.
• Make sure the installation site is not accessible to
children or non-authorized personnel.
• Remove metal accessories such as rings or bracelets
before installation and electrical connection to avoid
electric shock.
Product safety recommendations
• Do not put and install the inverter on or close to
combustible materials.
• Install the inverter far from devices with strong
electromagnetic interference.
• To avoid product damage, ensure the inverter input
voltage does not exceed the maximum input voltage.
• Ensure a stable installation and a reliable electrical
connection, as well as proper grounding of the inverter;
improper connection or no grounding may cause the
