Page 10: Intended Use
Intended use The component is intended for indoor use and may only be used in countries for which it is approved or for which it is released by Kontron Solar GmbH and the grid operator. The component may only be operated with a permanent connection to the public power grid.
Page 11: Component Description
Component description 3.1. Functionality The hy-switch is a complementary component to the SolBrid hybrid inverter. It cannot function without the SolBrid. The hy-switch can temporarily form an island network together with the inverter if the public power supply fails. To do this, the inverter disconnects all poles from the grid and together with the hy-switch forms an island network for the local installation and then automatically starts its backup power operation.
