Preface General information Please read this manual carefully before installation, operation or maintenance. This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during installation and maintenance of the system. This manual describes the installation, electrical connections, maintenance and troubleshooting of the following inverters: HYD 10KTL - 3PH / HYD 15KTL - 3PH / HYD 20KTL - 3PH ...
During installation, operation and maintenance, all operators must follow the local safety guidelines. Improper operation may result in electric discharges and/or damage to people and property, and will also void the Zucchetti Centro Sistemi S.p.A. warranty.
Transport of the equipment, especially by road, must be carried out with vehicles suitable to protect the components (in particular, the electronic components) against violent knocks, humidity, vibrations, etc. Zucchetti Centro Sistemi S.p.A. assumes no liability or responsibility for the destruction of property and personal injury resulting from improper use. 2.2.
The inverters do not require any daily or periodic maintenance. The heat exchangers and cooling fans must not be obstructed or clogged by dust, dirt or other objects. Before cleaning, ensure that the DC switch is OFF, the battery is switched OFF and the switch between the inverter and mains grid is OFF; wait at least 5 minutes before cleaning.
