Symbols on the Type Label
Beware of dangerous electrical voltage.
The inverter operates at high voltages. All electrical work on the inverter may be
carried out by quali󹻭ed personnel only.
Beware of hot surface.
The inverter can become hot during operation. Avoid contact during operation.
Observe the enclosed documentation.
The inverter must not be disposed of with the household waste.
Further disposal information can be found in the enclosed installation guide.
CE mark. The inverter complies with the requirements of the applicable EC
guidelines.
Device class label. The inverter is equipped with a wireless component that complies
with the harmonized standards.
Certi󹻭ed safety.
The inverter complies with the requirements of the Equipment and Product Safety Act
in Europe.
RAL quality mark for solar products. The inverter complies with the requirements of
the German Institute for Quality Assurance and Labeling.
Direct Current (DC)
Alternating Current (AC)
The inverter is protected against penetration by dust particles and water jets from
any angle.
The inverter is transformerless.

AC
Abbreviation for "alternating current".
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a radio technology that allows the inverter and other communication devices to
communicate with each other. Bluetooth communication does not require visual contact between the
devices.
DC
Abbreviation for "direct current".
Electronic Solar Switch (ESS)
The Electronic Solar Switch is part of the inverter's DC disconnection unit. The Electronic Solar Switch
must be securely inserted into the bottom of the inverter and may
only be removed by quali󹻭ed personnel.
PV
Abbreviation for photovoltaics.
Visual Inspection
Check the inverters and the cables for visible external damage. Contact your installer if you 󹻭nd any
defects. Do not perform any repair work yourself.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Ask your installer to check for proper inverter operation at regular intervals.

MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltage in the inverter.
Even when no external voltage is present, there can still be high voltages in the device.
The following work may be carried out by quali󹻭ed personnel only:
• Electrical installation
• Repairs
• Modi󹻭cation
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from touching the enclosure during operation.
Burns to the body.
• Only touch lid and display during operation.
NOTICE!
Yield loss due to poor heat dissipation!
• Do not place objects on the enclosure.
Green LED is on: In operation
Green LED is 󹻮ashing: Waiting for su󹻯cient irradiation.
Red LED is on: Disturbance: contact installer.
Blue LED is on: The inverter has been incorporated into a Bluetooth network and can
communicate with other devices with identical NetID.
Blue LED is 󹻮ashing: The inverter was identi󹻭ed via Sunny Explorer by setting the "Find device"
parameter.
The power and energy of the inverter are displayed in three 󹻭elds: Power, Day and Total. The
display is updated every 󹻭ve seconds.
Power
The power that the inverter is currently feeding into the grid.
Day
The energy fed into the grid on this particular day. This equals the
energy generated between the inverter's start-up in the morning to the
current time.
Total
The total energy which the inverter has fed into the grid during its entire
operating time.
The inverter energy is shown as a diagram on the display. The
daily graph is displayed by default. The right-hand 󹻮ashing bar
of the diagram represents the current hour. If the inverter does
not feed any power to the grid over a longer period of time (e.g.
in darkness or if the PV modules are covered with snow), a gap
is inserted into the chart. The bar for the current hour is updated
automatically every 󹻭ve seconds.
After four seconds, the bar goes out for one second and then
displays the current value.
The display values may deviate from the actual values and must not be used as a basis for invoicing.
The inverter's measured values are required for the system management and to control the current to
be fed to the grid. The inverter does not have a calibrated meter.
