11.3 Cleaning the Inverter

Damage to the display due to the use of cleaning agents
• If the inverter is dirty, clean the enclosure lid, the display, and the LEDs using only clean water
and a cloth.
• If the cooling fins on the rear of the enclosure are dirty, clean them with a soft brush.
• If the air ducts on the top of the inverter are dirty, clean them with a soft brush.

11.4 Checking the PV System for Ground Faults

If the inverter displays the event numbers 3501, 3601 or 3701, there could be a ground fault.
The electrical insulation between the PV system to ground is defective or insufficient.
Danger to life due to electric shock
In the event of a ground fault, high voltages can be present in the PV module construction.
• Only touch the cables of the PV modules on their insulation.
• Do not connect DC cables with ground faults to the inverter.
