2.1 Important Safety Instructions


ƔPlease keep this user manual for future use. Always follow the precautions, and safety
instructions in this document. EG4 will not be liable for any consequence caused by the violation
of the safety regulations, design, production, and usage standards.
ƔOnly accessories included with the inverter shipment are recommended for use with the inverter.
Modification or unapproved components may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
person.
ƔMake sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not
disassemble any parts of the inverter which are not mentioned in the installation guide. It
contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting
to service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and will void your
warranty.
ƔKeep away from flammable, explosive materials to avoid possible fires.
ƔThe installation place should be away from humid or corrosive substances.
ƔAuthorized service personnel must use insulated tools when installing or working with this
equipment.
ƔNever touch either the positive or negative pole of a PV connecting device. Never touch both of
them at the same time.
ƔThe unit contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
utility, battery and PV supply has been disconnected.
ƔHazardous voltage will present for up to 5 minutes after disconnection from the power supply.
ƔCAUTION-RISK of electric shock from energy stored in capacitor, never perform maintenance on
the inverter couplers, utility cables, battery cables, or PV cables while power is applied. After
switching off the PV, battery and utility; wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge before unplugging PV, battery, and utility couplers.
ƔWhen accessing the internal circuit of the inverter, it is very important to wait 5 minutes before
operating the power circuit or demounting the electrolyte capacitors inside the device. Do not
open the device beforehand since the capacitors require time sufficiently discharge!
ƔPlease use surge protection devices (SPDs) for PV installation.
