Quick Installation Guide for solar inverter RPI M50A_12s V1 EU EN 5013237400 00 2016-04-11
1 Basic safety instructions
DANGER
Electrical shock
Potentially fatal voltage is applied to the inverter
during operation. When the inverter is discon-
nected from all power sources, this voltage
remains in the inverter for up to 10 seconds.
Therefore, always carry out the following steps
before working on the inverter.
1. Place the AC/DC isolating switch in the OFF
position.
2. Disconnect the inverter from all AC and DC
voltage sources and make sure that none
of the connections can be accidentally
restored.
3. Wait for at least 10 seconds until the internal
capacitors have discharged.
DANGER
Electrical shock
Potentially fatal voltage is applied to the invert-
er's DC connections during operation. When light
falls on the solar modules, they immediately start
to generate electricity. This also happens when
light does not fall directly on the solar modules.
►Never disconnect the inverter from the solar
modules when it is under load.
►Place the AC/DC isolating switch in the OFF
position.
►Uncouple the connection to the grid so that
the inverter cannot supply energy to the grid.
►Disconnect the inverter from all AC and DC
voltage sources. Ensure that none of the
connections can be restored accidentally.
►Ensure that the DC cables cannot be touched
accidentally.
WARNING
Electrical shock
When the cover is removed from the fuse box,
this exposes current-carrying parts and protec-
tion conforming to IP65 is no longer guaranteed.
►Remove the cover only when it is absolutely
necessary.
►Do not remove the cover if water might enter
the inverter.
►After work is completed, ensure that the
cover is properly replaced and screwed in.
Check that the cover is properly sealed.
●To comply with the IEC 62109-5.3.3 safety requirements
and avoid injury or damage to property, the inverter must
be installed and operated in accordance with the safety and
operating instructions set out in this manual. Delta Energy
Systems is not responsible for damage resulting from failure
to follow the safety and operating instructions set out in this
manual.
●The inverter may only be installed and started by installers
who have been trained and certied for the installation and
operation of grid-based solar inverters.
●All repair work on the inverter must be carried out by Delta
Energy Systems. Otherwise, the warranty will be void.
●Warning instructions and warning symbols attached to the
inverter by Delta Energy Systems must not be removed.
●The inverter has a high leakage current value. The grounding
cable must be connected before commencing operation.
●Do not disconnect any cables while the inverter is under load
due to risk of a fault arc.
●To prevent damage due to lightning strikes, follow the provi-
sions that apply in your country.
●The surface of the inverter can get very hot during operation.
Only touch the inverter (outside of the display) with safety
gloves.
●The inverter is very heavy. The inverter must be lifted and
carried by at least three people.
●Only equipment in accordance with SELV (EN 60950) may
be connected to the RS485 interfaces.
● All connections must be sufciently insulated in order to
ensure the IP65 protection class. Unused connections must
be closed using cover caps.
