Note! Fronius will not accept any costs associated with production downtimes, installer costs, etc., that may arise as the result of a detected arc and its consequences. Fronius accepts no liability for fires that can occur despite the presence of the integrated arc detec- tion/extinguishing system (e.g. -
Page 7: Explanation Of Symbols - Choice Of Location
When designing the photovoltaic system, ensure that all components are operated within their permitted operating ranges at all times. Observe all the measures recommended by the solar module manufacturer to ensure that the solar module retains its properties in the long term. Obey the regulations of the power supply company regarding connection methods and en- ergy fed into the grid. -
Page 8: Explanation Of Symbols - Installation Position
As the inverter generates low levels of noise under certain operating con- ditions, it should not be installed close to living areas. Do not install the inverter in: places where there is an increased risk of damage from farm ani- mals (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) stables or adjoining areas storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilisers, etc. -
Page 9: General Comments Regarding Choice Of Location
Do not install the inverter at an angle on a vertical wall or pillar. Do not install the inverter horizontally on a vertical wall or pillar. Do not install the inverter on a vertical wall or pillar with its connection sockets facing upwards. - Page 10 The environmental conditions for the inverter must be fulfilled at the installation site. If the inverter is to be installed on the outer wall of a cattle shed, maintain a minimum all- round clearance of 2 m between the inverter and all ventilation and other openings in the building.

This may not be the case for IT ductor grids (insulated grids with no grounding); it will then not be possible to use the inverter. In order to use the inverter, the neutral conductor must be connected. A neutral con- ductor that is too small may adversely affect the inverter feeding energy into the grid. -

In par- ticular cases, and depending on local factors, however, the type A residual current protec- tive device may trip at the wrong time. For this reason, Fronius recommends that an RCD suitable for frequency converters be used.

► The power stage set, which is enclosed in a separate housing, must only be discon- nected from the connection area when in a de-energized state. ► Maintenance and servicing in the power stage set of the inverter must only be carried out by Fronius-trained service technicians. - Page 21 WARNING! Danger from inadequate ground conductor connection. This can result in serious injury and damage to property. ► The housing screws provide a suitable ground conductor connection for grounding the housing and must NOT be replaced by any other screws that do not provide a reliable ground conductor connection.
