Please keep this manual all time available in case of emergency.
1.2 Safety Instructions
DANGER
·DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
·WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in death or
serious injury or moderate injury.
CAUTION
·CAUTION indicates a hazardous condition which, if not avoided, can result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTICE
·NOTICE indicates a situation that can result in potential damage, if not avoided.
1.3 Target Group
Only qualified electricians who have read and fully understood all safety regulations
contained in this manual can install, maintain and repair the inverter. Operators must

be aware of the high-voltage device.
Chapter 2 Preparation
2.1 Safety Instructions
DANGER
·There is possibility of dying due to electrical shock and high voltage.
·Do not touch the operating component of the inverter, it might result in burning or death.
·To prevent risk of electric shock during installation and maintenance, please make sure that
all AC and DC terminals are plugged out.
·Do not touch the surface of the inverter while the housing is wet, otherwise, this may cause
electrical shock.
·Do not stay close to the inverter while there are severe weather conditions including storm,
lighting, etc.
·Before opening the housing, the SAJ inverter must be disconnected from the grid and PV
generator; you must wait for at least five minutes to let the energy storage capacitors
completely discharged after disconnecting from power source.
WARNING
·The installation, service, recycling and disposal of the inverters must be performed by
qualified personnel only in compliance with national and local standards and regulations.
·Any unauthorized actions including modification of product functionality of any form may
cause lethal hazard to the operator, third parties, the units or their property. SAJ is not
responsible for the loss and these warranty claims.
·The SAJ inverter must only be operated with PV generator. Do not connect any other
source of energy to the SAJ inverter.
·Be sure that the PV generator and inverter are well grounded in order to protect properties
and persons.
CAUTION
·The solar inverter will become hot during operation. Please do not touch the heat sink or
peripheral surface during or shortly after operation.

R5 Series
- 6 -
·Risk of damage due to improper modifications.
NOTICE
·Public utility only.
·The solar inverter is designed to feed AC power directly to the public utility power grid; do
not connect AC output of the inverter to any private AC equipment.

Chapter 4 Instructions for Installation
4.1 Safety Instructions
DANGER
·Dangerous to life due to potential fire or electricity shock.
·Do not install the inverter near any inflammable or explosive items.
·This inverter will be directly connected with HIGH VOLTAGE power generation device;
the installation must be performed by qualified personnel only in compliance with national
and local standards and regulations.
NOTICE
·This equipment meets the pollution degree II.
·Inappropriate or the harmonized installation environment may jeopardize the life span of
the inverter.
·Installation directly exposed under intensive sunlight is not recommended.
·The installation site must be well ventilated.
4.2 Pre-installation Check
4.2.1 Check the Package
Although SAJ’s inverters have surpassed stringent testing and are checked before
leaving factory, it is still possible that the inverters may suffer damages during
transportation. Please check the package for any obvious signs of damage, and if
such evidence is present, do not open the package and contact your dealer as soon as
possible.
4.2.2 Check the Assembly Parts
Please refer to the packing list inside the package container.
