protection class II, in accordance with IEC 61730, application class A.
Do not connect any sources of energy other than PV modules to the inverter.
4. PV modules with a high capacitance to ground may only be used if their coupling
capacity does not exceed 1.0μF.
5. When the PV modules are exposed to sunlight, a DC voltage is supplied to this
device.
6. When designing the PV power plants, ensure that the values comply with the
permitted operating range of all components at all times. The free design program
‛Zeverplan“(http://www.zeverplan.com ) will assist you.
2.2 Safety standards
Zeverlution complies with the EU Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and the EMC
Directive 2004/108/EC. Zeverlution also complies with the requirement for safety and
EMC in Australia and New Zealand market.

Installation and Operating Instructions V02 7
2.3 Important safety information
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 documentation in chapter 8.
• 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.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this
device.

8 Installation and Operating Instructions V02
Grounding the PV array
• Comply with local regulations for grounding the PV array. We
suggest the frames of PV modules must be reliably grounded.
•Do not ground any of the terminals of the strings.
Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of
electromagnetic radiation
• Please maintain a distance of at least 20cm from the inverter when it
is in operation.
Risk of injury due to hot heat sink
• The heat sink may get hot during operation. Do not touch!
Risk of injury due to electric shock and fire caused by high leakage
current
• The inverter must be reliably grounded in order to protect property
and personal safety.

Installation and Operating Instructions V02 9
Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge
•Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the
inverter through electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any component.
Damage to the seal of the cover in sub-zero conditions
•If you open the cover in sub-zero condition,the sealing of the cover
can be damaged. This can lead moisture entering the inverter.
• Do not open the inverter at ambient temperatures lower than -5℃.
•If a layer of ice has formed on the seal of the cover in sub-zero
conditions, remove it prior to opening the inverter(e.g. by melting the
ice with warm air). Observe the applicable safety regulation.

7. Ensure optimum operation and extend service life, avoid exposing theinverter to
direct sunlight, rain and snow.
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. Do not cover the inverter.

Installation and Operating Instructions V02 15
4.2 Selecting the mounting location
1. Mount the inverter vertically or tilted backward by a max 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.
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.

16 Installation and Operating Instructions V02
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, then drill 2 holes (Φ10)
to a depth about 70mm. During operation, keep the
drill vertical to the wall, and hold the drill steady to
avoid tilted holes.
2.After cleaning the dust and other objects from the holes, place 2 wall anchors into
the holes, then attach the wall bracket to the wall using the hexagon head screw
delivered with the inverter.
Risk of injury due to damaged cables
There may be power cables or other supply lines (e.g. gas or water)
routed in the wall.
• Ensure that no lines are laid in the wall which could be damaged when
drilling holes.
Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped
The inverter weighs approximately 8 kg. There is risk of injury if the
inverter is lifted incorrectly or dropped while being transported or when
attaching it to or removing it from the wall bracket.
• Transport and lift the inverter carefully

Installation and Operating Instructions V02 17
3.Holding the inverter using the housing side edges and attach it onto the wall bracket
tilted slightly downwards.
4. Check both sides of the heatsink to ensure that it is securely in place.
5.Push the inverter as far as possible and attach it to both sides of the wall bracket
using the M5 screws.(screw driver type: T25,torque: 2.5Nm)
If a second protective conductor is required in installation site, ground the inverter
and secure it so that it cannot be lifted off the wall bracket (see section 5.4.3
‛Second protective grounding connection“).
Dismante the inverter in reverse order.

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

•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 chapter 8.

Installation and Operating Instructions V02 19
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:
Risk of injury due to electric shock
• The external protective grounding conductor is connected to the
inverter’s protective grounding terminal through the screw terminal
block. Make sure the connection is reliable.
• When connecting, connect the AC connection first to ensure the
inverter grounding reliably and then connect the DC inputs.
• When disconnecting, disconnect the DC inputs first and then
disconnect the AC connection.
• Don’t connect the DC inputs while the AC connection is disconnected
under any circumstances.
• All electrical installations must be done in accordance with the
National Wiring Rules Standards and Local Code.
