3 Notes on Installation and
Operation
3.1

Intended use

The unit converts the DC voltage generated by the photo-
voltaic (PV) modules into AC voltage and feeds this into the
power grid.
Powador inverters are built according to the state of the art
and recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use may
cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may
result in damage to the units and other property.
The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connec-
tion to the public power grid.
The inverter is not intended for mobile use.
Any other or additional use is not considered the intended use.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage caused by
such unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use
is at the sole risk of the operator.
"Intended use" also includes adherence to the operating and
installation instructions. Your authorised electrician under-
takes the registration with your power supply company and
obtains approval for your photovoltaic system from the supply
grid operator on your behalf. Some of the documents that you
require in order to register your photovoltaic system and have
it approved are included in the installation instructions.
