Risk of injury due to electric shock Touching an ungrounded PV module or array frame can cause a lethal electric shock. • connect and ground the PV modules, array frame and electrically conductive surfaces so that there is continuous conduction. Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation.
2.3 Symbols on the label Explanation Symbol Beware of a danger zone This symbol indicates that the product mus be additionally grounded if additional grounding or equipotential bonding is required at the installation site. Beware of high voltage and operating current The inverter operates at high voltage and current.
RCM Mark The product complies with the requirements of the applicable Australian standards. Capacitors discharge Before opening the covers, the inverter must be disconnected from the grid and PV array. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow the energy storage capacitors to fully discharge.
