capacitance is less than 1.0μF.
5. When the PV modules are exposed to sunlight, a DC voltage is supplied to the inverter.
6. When designing the PV system, ensure that the values comply with the permitted operating
range of all components at all times.
7. The product must only be used in countries for which it is approved or released by AISWEI
and the grid operator.
8. Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in this documentation
and with the locally applicable standards and directives. Any other application may cause
personal injury or property damage.

2.2 Important safety information
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or cables are touched
•All work on the inverter must only be carried out by qualified personnel who have read
and fully understood all safety information contained in this manual.
•Do not open the product.
•Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this device.

UM0023_ASW1000-6000-S-G2_EN_V01_1122 7
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which is present in
the DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or
the live components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the DC connectors
from the inverter under load, an electric arc may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
•Do not touch non-insulated cable ends.
•Do not touch the DC conductors.
•Do not touch any live components of the inverter.
•Have the inverter mounted, installed and commissioned only by qualified persons with
the appropriate skills.
•If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
•Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as
described in this document(see Section 9 "Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage
Sources").
Risk of injury due to electric shock
Touching an ungrounded PV module or array frame can cause a lethal electric shock.
•connect and ground the PV modules, array frame and electrically conductive surfaces
so that there is continuous conduction.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation.
•During operation, do not touch any parts other than the enclosure lid of the inverter.

4 Mounting
4.1 Ambient conditions
1. Be sure the inverter is installed out of the reach of children.
2. Mount the inverter in areas where it cannot be touched inadvertently.
3. Ensure good access to the inverter for installation and possible service.
4. Make sure that heat can dissipate, observe the following minimum clearance to walls, other
inverters, or objects:
5. The ambient temperature is recommended below 40°C to ensure optimal operation.

8. The mounting method, location and surface must be suitable for the inverter's weight and
dimensions.
9. If mounted in a residential area, we recommend mounting the inverter on a solid surface.
Plasterboard and similar materials are not recommended due to audible vibrations when in
use.
10. Do not put any objects on the inverter.
11. Do not cover the inverter.
4.2 Selecting the mounting location
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
•Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
•Do not mount the inverter in areas where flammable materials are stored.
•Do not mount the inverter in areas where there is a risk of explosion.

UM0023_ASW1000-6000-S-G2_EN_V01_1122 13
1. Mount the inverter vertically or tilted backward by a maximum of 15°.
2. Never mount the inverter tilted forward or sideways.
3. Never mount the inverter horizontally.
4. Mount the inverter at eye level to make it easy to operate and to read the display.
5. The electrical connection area must point downwards.

14 UM0023_ASW1000-6000-S-G2_EN_V01_1122
4.3 Mounting the inverter with the wall bracket
Mounting procedures:
1. Use the wall bracket as a drilling template and mark the positions of the drill holes. Drill 2
holes with a 10 mm drill. The holes must be about 70 mm deep. Keep the drill vertical to the
wall, and hold the drill steady to avoid tilted holes.
2. After drilling holes in the wall, place three screw anchors into the holes, then attach the wall
mounting bracket to the wall using the self-tapping screws delivered with the inverter.
Risk of injury due to the weight of the inverter
••When mounting, be careful that the inverter weighs approx.:18.5kg.
Risk of injury due to the inverter falls down
••Before inserting the wall anchors, measure the depth and distance of the holes.
••If the measured values do not meet the hole requirements, redrill holes.

UM0023_ASW1000-6000-S-G2_EN_V01_1122 15
3. Position and hang the inverter onto the wall bracket ensuring the two studs located on the
outer ribs of the inverter are slotted into the respective slots in the wall bracket.
4. Check both sides of the heat sink to ensure that it is securely in place. insert one screw M5x12
each into the lower screw hole on both sides of the inverter anchorage bracket respectively
and tighten them.
If a second protective conductor is required in installation site, ground the inverter and secure it
so that it cannot drop from the housing (see section
5.4 “Second protective grounding connection”).
Dismante the inverter in reverse order.

in the DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC
conductors or the live components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the
DC connectors from the inverter under load, an electric arc may occur leading to electric
shock and burns.
•Do not touch non-insulated cable ends.
•Do not touch the DC conductors.

•Have the inverter mounted, installed and commissioned only by qualified persons
with the appropriate skills.
•If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
•Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as
described in this document(see Section 9 "Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage
Sources").
Risk of injury due to electric shock
•The inverter must be installed only by trained and authorized electricians.
•All electrical installations must be done in accordance with the National Wiring Rules
standards and all locally applicable standards and directives.

UM0023_ASW1000-6000-S-G2_EN_V01_1122 17
5.2 System layout of units without integrated DC switch
Local standards or codes may require that PV systems are fitted with an external DC switch on
the DC side. The DC switch must be able to safely disconnect the open-circuit voltage of the PV
array plus a safety reserve of 20%.
Install a DC switch to each PV string to isolate the DC side of the inverter. We recommend the
following electrical connection:
