2. Preparation
2.1 Safety Instructions
DANGER
DANGER due to electrical shock and high voltage
DO NOT touch the operating component of the inverter, it
might result in burns or death.
TO prevent risk of electric shock during installation and
maintenance, please make sure that all AC and DC terminals
are unplugged.
DO NOT remain close to the instruments while there are
severe weather conditions including storms, lightning etc.
WARNING
The installation, service, recycling and disposal of the
inverters must be performed by qualified personnel who must
comply with national and local standards and regulations.
Please contact your dealer to obtain details about an
authorized repair facility if the inverter requires maintenance
