2 Safety
Danger to life due to electric shock from destruction of the measuring device
due to overvoltage
Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and result in voltage being present in the
enclosure of the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure of the measuring device results in
death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
• Only use measuring devices with a measurement ranges designed for the maximum AC and
DC voltage of the inverter.
Risk of burns due to hot inverter enclosure parts
Some parts of the inverter enclosure can get hot during operation. Touching hot enclosure parts
can result in burn injuries.
• During operation, do not touch any parts other than the enclosure lid of the inverter.
• Wait until the inverter has cooled down before touching the enclosure.
Risk of injury due to sharp EMC clips
The EMC clips installed on the enclosure of the inverter may have sharp edges and can cause
cut injuries.
• Do not touch the EMC clips.
• Use caution when installing and removing modules in the inverter.
Damage to the inverter due to sand, dust and moisture
Sand, dust and moisture penetration can damage the inverter, thus impairing its functionality.
• Only open the inverter if the humidity is within the thresholds and the environment is free of
sand and dust.
• Do not open the inverter during a dust storm or precipitation.
• Close the inverter in case of interruption of work or after finishing work.
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.
