Where an automatic backup power supply is installed, a notice (https://www.fronius.com/en/search-page, item number: 42,0409,0275) must be fitted on the electrical distributor. Maintenance and installation work in the home network requires both disconnec- tion on the utility side and deactivation of the replacement power mode by open- ing the integrated DC disconnector on the inverter.
Devices with electric motors (e.g. lifting platform, circular saws, planing bench) Devices with large transmission ratio and flywheel mass Devices with compressors (e.g. compressed air compressors, air conditioning systems) IMPORTANT! Very high starting currents can cause short-term distortion or a drop in output voltage.

Remove the DC push-in terminals from the slots and disconnect them from the cables (only necessary if the in- stallation already exists). Connect the supplied PV+/PV- cables to the respective connections. IMPORTANT! Note the labelling of the cables when connecting. Connect the supplied cables to the re- spective connections on the PC board.
