• Do not open the inverter.
• All work on the inverter (e.g. repairs, modification) must be carried out by skilled personsonly.
Burn Hazards
Some partsof the enclosure can become hot during operation.
• During operation, only touch the protective cover and the display.
Yield Loss
Poor heat dissipation can lead to yield loss.
• Do not place any objectson the enclosure.
Inverter Damage
Overvoltagescan destroy the inverter.
• If the display message DC overvoltage - Disconnect generator isshown, informyour
installer IMMEDIATELY.
