2 Safety Measures & Warning
• The GEP inverter strictly conforms and has been tested according to international safety
regulations.
• The manufacturer strongly advises installers to follow local safety regulations during
commissioning, operation and maintenance of the GEP inverter. Improper operation may result in
electric shocks or damage to equipment and property.
• The installation, maintenance and connection of the inverters must be performed by qualified
personnel, in compliance with local electrical standards, regulations and following the regulations
of the local power suppliers, companies and related authorities.
• If the GEP inverter is unpacked but not put into use immediately, please put it back to the original
package with the desiccant bag and seal it with tape.
• To avoid electric shocks, the DC input and AC output port of the inverters must be disconnected
for at least 5 minutes before performing any installation or maintenance.
• The temperature of some components of the inverters may exceed 60℃ during operation. To
avoid burns, do not touch the inverter during operation. Let the inverter cool before operating.
• Keep children away from the inverter.
• Touching or changing inverter components without following manual instructions may cause
personal injury, damage the inverters and could ultimately invalidate the warranty.
• The electronic components of the inverter could be damaged by static electricity. Appropriate
methods must be adopted to prevent such damage, otherwise the warranty may be null and void.
• Ensure the output voltage of the proposed PV array is lower than the maximum rated input voltage
of the inverter, otherwise the inverter may be damaged and the warranty may be null and void.
• When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerously high DC voltage. We strongly
advise operators strictly follow instructions and avoid actions that put lives at risk.
• The PV modules should have as a minimum an IEC61730 class A rating protection.
• If the equipment is used in a way not authorized by the manufacturer, the equipment built-in
protections may be damaged.
• In order to achieve complete equipment isolation: turn off the AC switch first, then turn off the DC
switch.
• Do not insert or pull the AC or DC terminals when the inverter is in operation.
• An Arc Fault Detector is recommended to be installed on the DC side of an earthing photovltaic
system.
• The inverter can exclude the possibility of DC residual currents to 6mA in the system, Where an
external RCD is required in addition to the built-in RCMU, type A RCD must be used to avoid
tripping.
• The PV is not grounded as default configuration.
