Fronius accepts no liability for fires that can occur despite the presence of the integrated arc detection/extinguishing system (e.g.
Observe the stipulations of the power supply company concerning energy fed into the grid, emergency power mode and the operation of storage systems. The Fronius Symo Hybrid is a grid-connected inverter with an emergency power function – it is not a stand-alone inverter. The following restrictions must therefore be observed in...

Do not install the inverter in: Places where there is an increased risk of damage from farm animals (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) Stables or adjoining areas Storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilisers, etc. Do not install the inverter in: Places and environments subject to a heavy build-up of dust Places and environments in which a heavy build-up of dust con- taining conductive particles (e.g.
Installation posi- tion of inverter The inverter is suitable for vertical installation on a vertical wall or column. The inverter is suitable for a horizontal installation position. The inverter is suitable for installation on a sloping surface. Do not install the inverter on a sloping surface with its connection sockets at the top.

Do not install the inverter overhanging with the connection sockets at the bottom. Do not install the inverter on the ceiling.
Fitting the inverter mounting bracket Safety WARNING! Danger due to residual voltage in capacitors. This may result in an electric shock. ▶ Wait for the capacitors to discharge. The discharge time is five minutes. CAUTION! Danger due to dirt or water on the terminals and contacts of the inverter's connec- tion area.

Installing the When installing the inverter on a mast or mounting bracket support, Fronius recommends the "Pole on a mast or Clamp" kit from Rittal GmbH (order no. SZ beam 2584.000). This kit enables the inverter to be installed on round or rectangular masts with the fol- lowing diameters: Æ...
▶ Maintenance and servicing in the power stage set of the inverter must only be car- ried out by Fronius-trained service technicians. CAUTION! Risk of damage to the inverter as the result of incorrectly tightened terminals. Incorrectly tightened terminals can cause heat damage to the inverter that may result in a fire.

Cross section of For a standard M32 metric screw joint with a reducer: the AC cable Cable diameter from 7-15 mm When using an M32 metric screw joint (reducer removed): cable diameter from 11-21 mm (with a cable diameter of less than 11 mm, the strain-relief force is reduced from 100 N to a maximum of 80 N) With cable diameters greater than 21 mm, the M32 screw joint must be replaced by an M32 screw joint with a larger clamping area –...
Routing the AC Note! cables Form loops with the AC cables when connecting them to the AC terminals. When securing the AC cables using a metric screw joint, ensure that the loops do not protrude beyond the connection area. Otherwise, under certain circumstances it may no longer be possible to close the inverter.
100 mA is generally adequate. In particular cases, and depending on local factors, however, the type A earth-leakage circuit breaker may trip at the wrong time. For this reason, Fronius recommends that an earth-leakage circuit breaker that is suitable for fre- quency converters should be used.
▶ Maintenance and servicing in the power stage set of the inverter must only be car- ried out by Fronius-trained service technicians. CAUTION! Risk of damage to the inverter as the result of incorrectly tightened terminals. Incorrectly tightened terminals can cause heat damage to the inverter that may result in a fire.
The temperature coefficients on the solar modules data sheet must be observed. More exact values for dimensioning the solar modules can be provided by suitable calculation programs, like the Fronius Solar.configurator (which can be downloaded from http://www.fronius.com). Note! Before connecting up the solar modules, check that the voltage for the solar mod- ules specified by the manufacturer corresponds to the actual measured voltage.
Note! When designing cable cross-sections, take local regulations into account. Connection conditions: Carefully clean the oxide layer from the bare end of the cable by scraping it, e.g. with a knife IMPORTANT! Do not use brushes, files or emery paper, as the aluminium particles get trapped and can be transferred to other conductors.
Routing the DC If DC cables are laid over the shaft of the cables DC main switch or across the connection block of the DC main switch, they may be damaged when the inverter is swung in or they may even prevent the inverter from being swung in.

If overlength AC or DC cables are to be laid in loops in the connection area, attach the cables with cable ties to the eyelets provided on the top and bottom of the con- nection block.

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.
Starting for the first time Starting the WARNING! inverter for the first time Incorrect operation or poorly executed work can cause serious injury or damage. Commissioning of the hybrid system may only be carried out by trained personnel in accordance with the technical regulations.
