Safety

2.1 Intended Use of the Inverter

The inverter, the battery pack, the energy meters make up a system for optimization of
self-consumption in a household. The inverter is equipped with two MPP trackers (only
for S5&S3.6, SMILE-G3-B5 does not have MPPT) and converts the direct current from
the PV array into grid-compliant single-phase current and feeds it into the utility grid.
The battery pack is used for the intermediate storage of the energy.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The product must only be operated with PV arrays of protection class II in accordance
with IEC 61730, application class A. The PV modules must be compatible with this
product.
PV modules with a high capacity to ground must only be used if their coupling
capacity does not exceed 1.0 μF.
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges at all times.
Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed
documentation and with the locally applicable standards and directives. Any other
application may cause personal injury or property damage.
Alterations to the product, e.g. changes or modifications, are only permitted with the

2.2 Safety precaution for Battery Pack

2.2.1 General safety precautions

Overvoltage or wrong wiring can damage the battery pack and cause deflagration, which
can be extremely dangerous.
All types of breakdown of the battery may lead to a leakage of electrolyte or
flammable gas.
Battery pack is not user serviceable. High voltage is present in the device.
Read the label with Warning Symbols and Precautions, which is on the right side of the
battery pack.
Do not connect any AC conductors or PV conductors which should be only connected to
the inverter directly to the battery pack.
Do not charge or discharge damaged battery.
Do not damage the battery pack in such ways as dropping, deforming, impacting, cutting
or penetrating with a sharp object. It may cause a leakage of electrolyte or fire.
Do not expose battery to open flame.
