Explanation of

Safety Instruc-

tions

DANGER!

Indicates an immediate danger.

▶Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken.

WARNING!

Indicates a possibly dangerous situation.

▶Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken.

CAUTION!

Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.

▶Minor injury or damage to property may result if appropriate precautions are

not taken.

NOTE!

Indicates the possibility of ﬂawed results and damage to the equipment.

General This manual contains important instructions for the inverter that must be fol-

lowed during installation and maintenance of the inverter.

The inverter is designed and tested according to international safety require-

ments. Due to its electrical and electronic components, certain precautions must

be taken when installing and operating the inverter.

In order to reduce the risk of injury to persons and to ensure safe installation and

operation of the inverter, be sure to read these Operating Instructions carefully

and follow all instructions and safety instructions.

Failure to observe the Operating Instructions and safety instructions can void

the warranty and/or cause damage to the inverters or other property damage!

Electrical in-

stallations

All electrical installations must be carried out in accordance with the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and any other codes and regulations applicable

to the installation site.

For installations in Canada, the installations must be done in accordance with

applicable Canadian standards.

EN-US

Safety WARNING!

Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.

This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.

▶Only qualified personnel are authorized to commission your inverter and only

within the scope of the respective technical regulations.

▶Read the Installation Instructions and Operating Instructions before in-

stalling and commissioning the equipment.

WARNING!

Danger due to a ground fault. A normally grounded conductor can become un-

grounded and live due to a ground fault.

An electric shock can be fatal.

▶A ground fault must be repaired before operation is resumed.

WARNING!

Danger of DC voltage from solar modules. When solar modules are grounded,

the inverter's insulation monitoring is deactivated.

An electric shock can be fatal.

▶Ensure that grounded solar modules are double insulated according to

Safety Class II.

▶Attach corresponding safety labels to the photovoltaic system where they

can be seen easily.

▶Set the inverter so that an error message is displayed if the fuse trips.

Fire prevention

CAUTION!

Danger from faulty or incorrect installations.

They may result in damage to inverters and other current-carrying components

of a photovoltaic system.

Faulty or improper installation may cause overheating of cables and terminals as

well as the formation of arcs. This could cause thermal damage, which in turn

may lead to fires.

Please note the following when connecting the AC and DC cables:

▶Securely tighten all terminals using the proper torque listed in the Operating

Instructions

▶Securely tighten all grounding terminals (PE/GND) using the proper torque

listed in the Operating Instructions, even for free grounding terminals

▶Do not overload cables

▶Check cables for damage and correct wiring

▶Follow all Safety Instructions, Operating Instructions, and any local connec-

tion regulations

▶Always secure the inverter to the mounting bracket with fixing screws using

the torque specified in the Operating Instructions.

▶Only start up the inverter with the fixing screws tightened.

NOTE!

Follow general ESD guidelines when handling option cards.

NOTE!

Fronius will not bear any costs for production downtimes, or for installations,

etc., which may arise due to a detected electric arc and its consequences.

Fronius accepts no liability for fires which may break out despite integrated arc

detection/interruption (e.g., due to a parallel arc).

NOTE!

Before an inverter can be reset following a detected electric arc, check the en-

tire affected photovoltaic system for any damage.

Intended Use The inverter is designed exclusively to convert direct current from solar modules

into alternating current and feed this power into the public grid.

The following are deemed to be not in conformity with its intended purpose:

-Utilization for any other purpose, or in any other manner

-Alternations to the inverter are not expressly recommended by Fronius

-Installation of components that are not expressly recommended or sold by

Fronius.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from improper use.

All warranty claims are considered void in such cases.

Proper use also means

-carefully reading and obeying the instructions and all the safety and danger

notices in the Operating and Installation Instructions

-compliance with the maintenance operations

-installation as specified in the Installation Instructions

When configuring the photovoltaic system, make sure that all components are

operating completely within their permitted operating range.

All measures recommended by the solar module manufacturer for maintaining

solar module properties must be followed.

Follow all grid operator regulations regarding grid power feed and connection

methods.

EN-US

Installation location and position

Selecting a loca-

tion

Please observe the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:

The inverter is suitable for indoor installation.

The inverter is suitable for outdoor installation.

Because of its NEMA4X protection class, the inverter is not sus-

ceptible to hose water on any side and can also be operated in

moist environments.

In order to keep inverter heating as low as possible, do not expose

the inverter to direct sunlight. The inverter should be installed in a

protected location, e.g., near the solar modules or under an over-

hanging roof.

Altitude above sea level: up to 11,482 ft. (3500 m)

IMPORTANT! The inverter must not be installed or operated

above an altitude of 11,482 ft (3500 m).

The max. permissible DC voltage of the inverter depends on the

altitude:

-0 - 6561 ft. (0 - 2000 m) ... UDC max = 550 V

-> 6561 - 8202 ft. (> 2000 - 2500 m) ... UDC max = 540 V

-> 8202 - 9842 ft. (> 2500 - 3000 m) ... UDC max = 480 V

-> 9842 - 11,482 ft. (> 3000 - 3500 m) ... UDC max = 430 V

The output power reduces when the device temperature is too

high, and this may occur earlier than normal at increased alti-

tudes.

NH3

Do not install the inverter:

-Where it may be exposed to ammonia, corrosive gases, acids,

or salts

(e.g., fertilizer storage areas, vent openings for livestock

stables, chemical plants, tanneries)

During certain operating phases the inverter may produce a slight

noise. For this reason it should not be installed in an occupied liv-

ing area.

Do not install the inverter in:

-Areas where there is an increased risk of accidents from farm

animals (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.)

-Stables or adjoining areas

-Storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilizers, etc.

Do not install the inverter in:

-Dusty rooms and environments

-Rooms and areas with large amounts of conductive dust

particles (e.g., iron filings)

Do not install the inverter in:

-Greenhouses

-Storage or processing areas for fruit, vegetables, or viticulture

products

-Areas used in the preparation of grain, green fodder, or animal

feeds

Installation posi-

tion

The inverter is suitable for vertical installation on a vertical wall or

column.

The inverter is suitable for a horizontal installation position.

The inverter is suitable for installation on a sloping surface.

Do not install the inverter on a sloping surface with the connec-

tions upwards.

EN-US

Do not install the inverter in a sloping position on a vertical wall or

column.

Do not install the inverter in a horizontal position on a vertical

wall or column.

Do not install the inverter with the connections upwards on a ver-

tical wall or column.

Do not install the inverter overhanging with the connections up-

wards.

Do not install the inverter overhanging with the connections

downwards.

Do not install the inverter on the ceiling.

General location

selection

Please observe the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:

Only install on a solid, non-ﬂammable surface
