2.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are
touched
The DC cables connected to a battery or a PV module may be live. Touching live DC cables
results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected
before working on the device.
• Wait five minutes before working on the inverter.
• Observe all safety information of the battery manufacturer.
• Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
• Do not pull the DC conductors under load out of the terminal blocks.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live system components in
case of a ground fault
If a ground fault occurs, parts of the system may still be live. Touching live parts and cables
results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected
before working on the device.
• Only touch the cables of the PV modules on their insulation.
• Do not touch any parts of the substructure or frame of the PV array.
• Do not connect PV strings with ground faults to the inverter.
• Once disconnected from voltage sources, wait five minutes before touching any parts of the
PV system or the inverter.
