2.2 Safety Information
This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working on or with
the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product,
read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to light, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage, which is present in the
DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, always disconnect the inverter from voltage
sources on the AC and DC sides as described in the inverter manual. When doing so, note
that even if the DC load-break is switched off, there will be dangerous direct voltage present
in the DC conductors of the inverter.
CAUTION
Increased electromagnetic radiation through the antenna
During operation, the antenna produces an electromagnetic field and can interfere with other
devices (e.g., pacemakers) due to electromagnetic interference.
• Persons must not remain closer than 20 cm (8 in) to the antenna for long periods of time.

NOTICE
Damage to seals on the enclosure lids in subfreezing conditions
If you open the enclosure lids when temperatures are below freezing, the enclosure seals can be
damaged. Moisture can penetrate the product then.
• Only open the enclosure lid if the ambient temperature is not below 0°C (32°F).
• If a layer of ice has formed on the seal of the lid when temperatures are below freezing,
remove it prior to opening the enclosure lids (e.g. by melting the ice with warm air).
Observe the applicable safety regulations.
NOTICE
Damage to the inverter or product due to electrostatic discharge
Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter or the product
through electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any component.
NOTICE
Damage to the inverter due to moisture ingress during electrical installation
• Never open the inverter when it is raining or snowing, or the humidity is over 95%.
• For attaching the conduits to the enclosure, only use UL-listed rain-tight conduit fittings for
wet locations.
• Seal all unused openings tightly.
NOTICE
Damage to communication assembly in the inverter due to an interruption in
the voltage supply during the firmware update
The firmware update to a version higher than 2.03.01.R may take approx. 30minutes. The
inverter must be continually supplied with voltage for the entire course of the firmware update.
• Ensure that the inverter is supplied with voltage during the firmware update to a version
higher than 2.03.01.R.
