1. Safety Precautions
This section describes relevant warning symbols recurring in the installation and operation manual of AEG single-phase
solar inverters of the series AS-IR01 and AS-IR01-2.. Icons highlight relevant information for the physical and property
safety of the user. Compliance to the provided instructions is essential to prevent physical injury and product damage.
1.1 Icons
Below is a list of the icons used in this manual:
Icon Meaning Instruction
Danger Serious physical injury or even death may occur in case of
noncompliance with the requirement.
Warning Physical injury or product damage may occur in case of
noncompliance with the requirement.
Prohibited Damage may occur in case of
noncompliance with the requirement.
Hot surface Product surface may become hot. Do not touch.
Note Useful information for product maintenance and operation is provided
Table 1: Icon meaning
1.2 Safety Guidelines
Look for any visible damage to the package or the product itself. Double-check the order information
and the product nameplate to ensure the products are of the ordered type. Should you find any
problems, contact the shipping company and / or your supplier as soon as possible before attempting
product installation.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install the inverter.

5 minutes
Do not carry out any wiring and inspection nor change components when the inverter is connected
to power supply. Hazardous voltages may still be present in the inverter even when the AC and DC
main switches are turned off. Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the inverter to undertake any
operation on the inverter. This ensures that the capacitors are electrically discharged.
The product can cause a DC current to be generated in the external protective earth conductor. In
case of direct or indirect contact, a residual current-operated protective (RCD) or monitoring (RCM)
device is strongly recommend to be used for protection. Only a RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on
the product’s supply side.
Ensure that there is no electromagnetic interference from other electrical and electronic equipment
at the installation site.
Do not unauthorizedly refit the inverter.
All the electric installation needs to be compliant with the national or local laws and standards.
The temperature of individual parts or the enclosure of the inverter –especially the heat sink– may
become hot during and due to normal operation. Avoid possible burns. Do not touch.
The inverter must be grounded before operation.
Do not unauthorizedly open the inverter cover. The electrical parts and components inside the
inverter are electrostatic. Take measurements to avoid electrostatic discharge during relevant
operations.

1.2.1 Delivery and Installation
Keep the package and unit complete, dry and clean during storage and delivery.
Due to product weight, lifting and installing the inverter requires two workers.
Lift and install the inverter with appropriate tools to ensure safe and normal operation and avoid
physical injury or death. Workers are also required to follow mechanical protective measures, such as
wearing protective shoes and work clothes.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install the inverter.
Do not put or install the inverter on or close to combustible materials.
Keep the installation site away from children and public access.
Remove metal accessories such as rings or bracelets before installation and electrical connection to
avoid electric shock.
Cover solar modules with light-tight materials. When exposed to light or sunlight, solar modules will
generate potentially dangerous voltage and supply DC voltage to the inverter.
The inverter input voltage must not exceed the maximum input voltage; otherwise inverter damage
may occur.
The positive and negative pole of solar modules should not be grounded, otherwise irrecoverable
damage may occur.
Ensure the proper grounding of the inverter; improper connection or no grounding may cause the
inverter to stop.
Ensure reliable installation and electrical connection.
When the photovoltaic modules are exposed to light (even if it is dim), the generator supplies DC
voltage to the inverter.
1.2.2 Grid-tied operation
Only qualified electricians are allowed to operate the inverter under the permission of local energy
authorities.
Ensure reliable installation and electrical connection before operation.
Do not unauthorizedly open the inverter cover during operation. The electrical parts and components
inside the inverter are electrostatic.

1.2.3 Maintenance and Inspection
5 minutes
Only qualified electricians are allowed carry out inverter maintenance, inspection and component re-
placement.
If the product requires maintenance, contact your supplier.
Before attempting any maintenance, disconnect first all power supplies of the grid to the inverter.
Thereafter, disconnect the breakers; wait for at least 5 minutes until the inverter is discharged before
attempting maintenance.
Please follow electrostatic protection norms and take correct protective measures because
circuits and components in the inverter are sensitive to electrostatic electricity.
Do not use non-original parts and components during maintenance.
After solving faults / problems that may affect the safety and performance of the inverter, restart the
inverter.
Do not get close to or touch any metal conductive part of the grid or inverter, otherwise electric shock,
physical injury or death and fire may occur. Always pay attention to warning icons and instructions
signaling the possibility of an electric shock.
1.2.4 Product End of Life
Please abide wit
h local regulations for the inverter disposal.
The inverter and its components should be dealt with as industrial waste.

2.1 Solar Grid-tied Power Generation Systems
Photovoltaic (solar) grid-tied power generation systems consists of solar modules, grid-tied inverters, metering devices,
and public grid.
Figure 1: Scheme of solar grid-tied power generation system
The Grid-tied solar inverter is the core of photovoltaic power generation system. Solar energy is converted into DC
electric energy through solar modules and is then transformed by grid-tied solar inverters into sinusoidal AC energy
which has the same frequency and phase as the public grid; this electricity can then be fed to the grid.
AEG AS-IR01 and AS-IR01-2 series of single-phase grid-tied solar inverters are only deployed in solar grid-tied power
generation system. The DC input is only provided by crystalline silicon solar modules whose negative and positive poles
are not grounded. Do not connect any AC loads between the inverter and breakers:

The solar modules need to be compliant with IEC 61730 Class A rating.
AEG AS-IR01 and AS-IR01-2 series of grid-tied single-phase solar inverters are meant
to be deployed only with crystalline silicon solar modules.
