    Safety rules Danger! “Danger!” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avo- ided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word must be limited to the most extreme situations. This signal word is not used for hazards relating to property damage unless there is also a risk of personal injury appropriate to this level.
  • Page 6 General Remarks All the safety instructions and warning signs on the machine itself: (continued) must be kept in a legible condition must not be damaged must not be removed must not be covered, pasted or painted over For information about where the safety instructions and warning signs are located on the machine, please refer to the section of your machine’s in- struction manual headed “General Remarks”.
  • Page 7 Qualified Staff Maintenance and repair may only be carried out by an authorised specialist (continued) company. There is no guarantee in the case of parts sourced from other suppliers that these parts have been designed and manufactured to cope with the stresses and safety requirements that will be placed on them.

  • Page 63: Status Diagnosis And Repair

    It is thus possible to quickly ascertain de- fects in the Conergy WR unit, in the photovoltaic system as well as instal- lation and operation errors.

  • Page 64: Complete Failure

    Should the no-load voltage of the modules (at the connecting points of the Conergy WR unit) not reach 160 V, it is possibly the case of a defect in the remaining part of the photovoltaic system.

  • Page 65: Class 1

    Service codes of service class 1 appear mostly only temporarily, their cause lies in the public mains network. The first reaction of your Conergy WR unit is to disconnect from the mains. Subsequently the mains network will be checked for the duration of the observation period stipulated.

  • Page 66: Class 2

    Class 2 service codes are also related to the parameters of the mains network. Some of the checking procedures therefore overlap with those of service class 1. Your Conergy WR unwill react in the same way as in the case of service codes in service class 1.
