Page 5: Installation Location And Position
Installation location and position Explanation of DANGER! Indicates immediate and real danger. If it is not avoided, death or se- safety symbols rious injury will result. WARNING! Indicates a potentially dangerous situation. Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur. -
Page 6: Proper Use
Fronius accepts no liability for fires that can occur despite the presence of the in- tegrated arc detection/extinguishing system (e.g. fires caused by a parallel arc). -
Page 7: Inverter Installation Location
Inverter installa- tion location The inverter is suitable for installation indoors. The inverter is suitable for installation outdoors. Its IP 65 degree of protection means that the inverter is resistant to water jets from any direction and can also be used in damp environments. IP 65 In order to minimise the heating up of the inverter, do not expose it to di- rect insolation. -
Page 8: Explanation Of Symbols - Installation Position
Explanation of symbols - instal- lation position The inverter is designed to be installed vertically on a vertical wall or pil- lar. The inverter is suitable for horizontal installation. The inverter is suitable for installation on a sloping surface. Do not install the inverter on a sloping surface with its connection sockets facing upwards. -
