Risk of death due to high DC voltage! As soon as the sun shines, volt-
age is applied to the PV modules.
fBefore connecting the inverter, check whether voltage is applied to
the generator's DC voltage connection.
fBefore connecting the inverter, check whether the polarity of the DC
voltage is correct.
fIf voltage is applied, wear insulating protective clothing and face
protection.
fEnsure that the cable plug has engaged completely with the socket.
fDetach the DC voltage cable only if the inverter is not in operation.
fMake sure that the DC isolator or a central isolation device can be
accessed freely.
fDo not earth PV modules. The inverter does not have a transformer.

Initial operation
4 Initial operation
4.1 Switch on
1. Switchonmainsvoltagesupply(safety).
2. Switch on DC voltage via the DC isolator on the
left side of the inverter.
The inverter type appears in the display along
with the prompt START?.
4.2 Initial operation
▪To transfer all settings correctly, initial operation must be conducted
in full once.
▪When installing several inverters that are linked with each other via
the PLATINUM®network(EIA485),initialoperationcanbeperformed
onanyinverter(masterprogramming).Forthistobepossible,all
inverters in the network must be switched on.
▪The inverter automatically transfers the setting values to the other
inverters via the PLATINUM®network(EIA485).
▪Every inverter is allocated a number automatically during initial
operation. This number can be changed and freely assigned in a
further step.
▪The inverters on which no data is entered display different screen
content depending on the menu. If data cannot be entered, the
inverter displays the start screen.
▪During initial operation, all inverters connected to the PLATINUM®
network are blocked.
