To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation and operation, the following safety
symbols appear throughout this document to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety
instructions.
WARNING! Indicates safety instruction, which if not correctly followed, can result in injury
or property damages.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Indicates safety instructions, which if not correctly followed,
could result in electric shock.
HOT SURFACE! Indicates safety instructions, which if not correctly followed, could result

1.2 Target Audience
This manual is intended for anyone who installs or maintains Autarco inverters in conjunction with a
Consumption meter. Before any further action, the operators must first read all safety regulations and be
aware of the potential danger to operate high-voltage devices. Operators must also have a complete
understanding of this device’s features and functions.
ATTENTION! Qualified personnel means a person with valid license from the local authority in:
●Installing electrical equipment and PV power systems (up to 1000 V).
●Applying all applicable installation codes and using Personal Protective Equipment.
●Analyzing and reducing the hazards involved in performing electrical work.

1.3 Intended Application
This manual applies to the following products;
●S2.1P-SMARTMETER For 1 phase inverters
Please note that all current inverter models excluding the UX Series are capable of internal power export
limitation using an external current clamp or consumption meter. The internal PELD functionality is only
applicable for systems with one inverter. Please see the relevant inverter series manual for more
information. External power export limitation with the help of the PELD is possible with all inverters.
2. Preparation
2.1 Safety instructions
DANGER! Do not touch any internal components whilst the inverter is in operation.
NOTICE! Do not directly connect AC output of the inverter to any private AC equipment. The PV
inverter is designed to feed AC power directly into the public utility power grid.
WARNING! The installation, service, recycling and disposal of the inverters must be performed by
qualified personnel in compliance with national and local standards and regulations.
Please contact your dealer to get the information of an authorized repair facility for any maintenance
or repairmen.
Any unauthorized actions including modification of product functionality of any form will affect the
validation of warranty service; Autarco may deny the obligation of warranty service accordingly.
