Machine equipped with multiple power supply (DC and AC).
Before doing any work, check that both the DC and the AC power
supply have been disconnected.
Warning
Hot surface
Indicates risk of burning due to very hot surfaces.
Before doing any work, let the unit cool suf!ciently; wear personal
protective equipment (for example, gloves).
10 minutes
Indicates risk of electric shock.
Before doing any work, allow all stored energy to drain for at least
10 minutes.

2.3 General warnings and safety information
Please read these instructions carefully in order to ensure your personal safety and that of others and to pro-
long the service life of this product and of the plant connected to it.
Operators must be instructed or skilled persons. They must have read and fully understood the operating
instructions contained in this manual and those relating to the machine before having access to equipment
controls. Persons who are not skilled or instructed must not be allowed to use the equipment.
The term “specially trained and competent” operator refers to the person responsible for installing and
transporting the electrical equipment.
According to standard CEI EN 60204-1:
A skilled person: is a person with technical knowledge or suf!cient experience to be able to avoid the dangers
which electricity may create.
An instructed person: is a person adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to be able to avoid the
dangers which electricity may create (e.g. maintenance operators).
Safety Instructions
All maintenance operations carried out on live equipment can involve serious risks. These operations must
be carried out by skilled persons who are fully aware of the risks and provided with all the appropriate per-
sonal protective equipment and suitable tools.
To remove all dangerous voltage from inside the panel, disconnect all the external power connections (AC
side, DC side and auxiliary voltage) and make sure these cannot be reconnected inadvertently (put up a work
in progress sign).
Energy stored in the equipment’s DC link capacitors can be an electric shock hazard. Even after the unit is
disconnected from the grid and photovoltaic panels, there may still be high voltages in the PVSA inverter. Do
not remove the casing (terminal side) until at least 10 minutes after disconnecting all power sources.
Follow all the safety instructions in this manual.
Make sure all power supplies have been disconnected before touching any parts.
Do not modify circuits or software programs or make adjustments without the manufacturer’s prior consent.
Any such modifications could pose a risk for persons or equipment.
Failure to comply with the manufacturerís instructions when using the inverter could undermine safety.
The installer is responsible for choosing the most appropriate residual current-operated circuit breaker ac-
cording to the characteristics of the PV plant.
Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts!
• Some parts of the equipment may become very hot during operation. DO NOT touch the heat sink while
the inverter is working.
Grounding the PV generator
• Comply with local requirements for grounding the PV modules and the PV generator.
• Lumel recommends connecting the generator frame and other electrically conductive surfaces in a man-
ner which ensures continuous conduction and grounding these in order to achieve maximum protection
of the system and personnel.

2.4 Intended or permitted purpose
This device is a multistring inverter designed to:
convert direct current (DC) from a PV generator into alternating current (AC) suitable for connection to a
3-phase public grid.
Limits of use:
- The inverter can be used only with PV modules that do not require grounding of one of the poles.
- For PV modules that require grounding of one of the poles, use the dedicated version of the product (-P/-N
depending on the grounded pole) and an external transformer (as described in the speci•c addendum).
- Only a PV generator can be connected to the inverter in input (DO NOT connect batteries or other power
sources).
- The inverter can be connected to the grid only in quali•ed countries.
- The inverter can be used only by respecting all of the technical characteristics.
Use the equipment ONLY for its INTENDED OR PERMITTED PURPOSE. If you need any explanations, please
contact Lumel.
2.5 Improper or prohibited use
NEVER:
- Install the equipment in potentially flammable / explosive environments or in environments with adverse or
prohibited conditions (temperature and humidity).
- Use the equipment with defective or disabled safety devices.
- Use the equipment or parts of the equipment by connecting it to other machines or devices (unless specifi-
cally permitted).
- Modify work parameters not accessible to the operator and/or any parts of the equipment to change its
performance or insulations.

3. Transportation – Handling - Storage
All transportation, handling and storage operations must only be performed by specially trained and compe-
tent operators.
3.1 Handling packed equipment
The equipment can easily be transported using a lift truck, or fork crane with adequate load capacity,
Dimensions and weights are speci•ed in chapter “12. Dimensions and weight” on page 86.
Correct methods of transportation, storage, installation and assembly, as well as appropriate use and mainte-
nance, are essential for ensuring the proper and safe operation of this equipment.
Protect the equipment against shocks and vibrations during transportation.
Make sure it is also protected against water (rain), humidity and extreme temperatures.
