Damage to the product due to sand, dust or moisture penetration
Sand, dust or moisture penetration can damage the inverter or impair its functionality.
• Do not open the inverter during a sandstorm, precipitation or when humidity exceeds 95%.
• Only perform maintenance work on the inverter when the environment is dry and free of dust.
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.
Damage to the enclosure seal in subfreezing conditions
If you open the product when temperatures are below freezing, the enclosure seals can be damaged. Moisture can
penetrate the product then.
• Only open the product if the ambient temperature is not below -5°C.
• If a layer of ice has formed on the enclosure seal when temperatures are below freezing, remove it prior to
opening the product (e.g. by melting the ice with warm air). Observe the applicable safety regulations.
2.3 Battery Safety Information
This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working on or with batteries.
To prevent personal injury or property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the batteries, read this section
carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
Danger to life due to incompatible lithium-ion battery
An incompatible lithium-ion battery can lead to a fire or an explosion. With incompatible lithium-ion batteries, it is
not ensured that battery management is intrinsically safe and will protect the battery.
• Ensure that the lithium-ion batteries are approved for use with the Sunny Island (see technical information "List
of Approved Batteries" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
• If no lithium-ion batteries approved for the inverter can be used, lead-acid batteries can be used.
• Verify that the battery complies with locally applicable standards and directives and is intrinsically safe.
Danger to life due to explosive gases
Explosive gases may escape from the battery and cause an explosion.
• Protect the battery environment from open flames, embers and sparks.
• Install, operate and maintain the battery in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
• Do not burn the battery and do not heat it beyond the permitted temperature.
• Additional measures for lead-acid batteries: Ensure that the battery room is sufficiently ventilated.
