11 Cyber Security Protocol User Manual Ensure that all RS-485 data cables are inspected periodically for damage, wear and tear.
12 Cybersecurity Best Practice It’s important to locate the MV power converter in a secure network zone (e.g., SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) network or PCN), that is blocked from direct communication with the Internet and/or Corporate IT networks by network security devices (e.g., firewalls).
If not, please contact SUNGROW. If the components needs to be replaced with products from other manufacturer or with different model number, a prior analysis and confirmation by SUNGROW is needed. Failure to follow this procedure may lead to physical injury or death and void all warranty from SUNGROW.

14 Routine Maintenance 14.1 Overview For maintenance items beyond this manual, please confirm with SUNGROW or contact SUNGROW for maintenance, and unauthorized operation is strictly prohibited. 14.2 Safety Instructions Due to the effect of ambient temperature, humidity, dust and vibration, the MV power con- verter and the inner components will be aging and worn out.
If not, please contact SUNGROW. If the components needs to be replaced with products from other manufacturer or with different model number, a prior analysis and confirmation by SUNGROW is needed. Failure to follow this procedure may lead to physical injury or death and void all warranty from SUNGROW.
User Manual 14 Routine Maintenance • Verify that the MV power converter interior is discharged completely with a multimeter. • Necessary ground and short circuit connections. • Cover the adjacent electrical components with insulation cloth during operation. 14.3 Maintenance 14.3.1 Introduction With TYPE 3R protection degree, the MV power converter can be installed outdoors.
