Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge.
Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter

through electrostatic discharge.
Ground yourself before touching any component.

Damage due to cleaning agents.
The use of cleaning agents may cause damage to the product and its

components.
Clean the product and all its components only with a cloth moistened with clear

water.
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or PV cables are
touched.
When PV panels exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates high DC voltage which
presents in the DC conductors. Touching the live DC cables can result in death or
lethal injuries due to electric shock.
Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be

reconnected before working on the device.
Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.

Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.

Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the inverter.

Danger to life due to electric shock from touching an ungrounded PV module
or array frame.
Touching ungrounded PV modules or array frames can result in death or lethal

injuries due to electric shock.
Connect and ground the frame of the PV modules, the array frame and the

electrically conductive surfaces so that there is continuous conduction.
Observe the applicable local regulations.
