Regulatory Information - Phocos Any-Grid Series User And Installation Manual

1. Before using the unit, read all instructions and cautionary markings on this unit, the batteries, the solar modules,
any connected loads.
2. Please do not disassemble or attempt to repair Phocos products. This unit does not contain user serviceable parts.
Damage to the warranty seal will lead to a loss of warranty of the product and can lead to injury.
3. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wirings before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Switching
off the unit is not sufficient, turn off and / or disconnect all connections to the unit.
4. For safe operation of this unit, please adhere to appropriate cable size requirements in this manual.
5. Be very cautious when working with uninsulated metal tools on or around batteries. The can short-circuit
batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion and / or injury.
6. Strictly follow the installation procedure when connecting or disconnecting AC or DC terminals. Please refer to
the "Installation" section of this manual for details.
7. Appropriate fuses or breakers are required near the battery supply and AC input and AC output of this unit.
8. WARNING: It is highly recommended and legally required in many countries to install a Type B residual current
device (RCD) between the AC output of the unit(s) and the AC loads to protect humans from hazardous electric
shock due to faulty AC wiring, faulty loads or a potential inverter fault.
Only in Off-Grid mode, the neutral (N) and ground (PE) of the AC output are automatically bridged inside the Any-
Grid to ensure the RCD's functioning if the AC installation is wired correctly as a TN-S or TN-C-S earthing system. In
a TN-C-S installation the bridge between neutral (N) and ground (PE) must be between the public grid and AC
input of the Any-Grid to ensure that there is never more than one bridge between N and PE.
9. Never allow any AC or DC connections to be short-circuited. Do not connect to the mains when the battery input
is short-circuited.
10. Only qualified service persons may service this device. If errors persist after following the "Troubleshooting"
section in this manual, please send this unit back to a local Phocos dealer or service center for maintenance.
11. WARNING: Because this inverter (AC output) is not isolated from the PV input, only three types of PV modules are
acceptable for use: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and CIGS modules. To avoid any malfunction, do not connect
any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example, positive- or negative-grounded PV
modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure that neither the
positive nor negative PV cables are grounded. Grounding of the PV module frame is permitted and frequently
required by local law.
The battery is isolated from the inverter and PV input, therefore the battery positive or negative terminal may be
grounded if required.
12. CAUTION: It is highly recommended to use a surge arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD) near the PV
input terminals of this unit. This is to prevent damage to the unit from lightning, thunderstorms or other voltage
surges on the PV cables. The max. DC operating voltage of the SPD must be between 450 and 480 Vdc.

13. CAUTION: It is highly recommended to use a surge arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD) near the AC
input terminals of this unit, if the AC input is used. This is to prevent damage to the unit from lightning,
thunderstorms or other voltage surges on the AC input conductors (for example coming from the public grid).
The max. AC operating voltage of the SPD must be between 275 and 300 Vac.
