· Do not stay close to the inverter while there are severe weather conditions including storm, lighting, etc. · Before opening the housing, the SAJ inverter must be disconnected from the grid and PV generator; you must wait for at least five minutes to let the energy storage capacitors completely discharged after disconnecting from power source.
Page 6
SAJ is not responsible for the loss and these warranty claims. · The SAJ inverter must only be operated with PV generator. Do not connect any other source of energy to the SAJ inverter.
Equipment meets safety and other requirements as required by electrical safety laws/regulations in Australian and New Zealand. No unauthorized perforations or modifications Any unauthorized perforations or modifications are strictly forbidden, if any defect or damage (device/person) occurred, SAJ shall not take any responsibility for it. - 6 -...
Chapter 3 Product Information 3.1 Application Scope of Products H1 series products are hybrid solar inverters without transformers, and the inverters are important components of energy storage systems. The H1 inverters converts the DC generated by solar panels into AC which is in accordance with the requirements of public grid and send the AC into the grid, reduce the load pressure of the grid.
