Wiring

1. Cable routing should avoid the cooling system and equipment parts.
2. When routing cables, ensure a distance of at least 30 mm is maintained between the cables and any heat-generating components or areas to prevent damage to the cable insulation.
3. Connect cables of the same type together. When routing cables of different types, ensure they are at least 30 mm apart. Mutual entanglement or cross-deployment is not permitted.
4. Ensure that cables used in a grid-tied photovoltaic power system are correctly connected and insulated and meet specifications.

Installation Environment Requirements

1. Ensure the equipment is installed in a well-ventilated environment. To prevent fire due to high temperature, ensure that ventilation openings or the heat dissipation system are not obstructed when the equipment is operating.
2. Do not expose the equipment to flammable or explosive gases or fumes. Do not operate the equipment in such environments.
3. Do not place the equipment near a heat source, fire, or water source, and do not operate the equipment next to such heat source, fire, or water source.

Equipment and Personnel Safety Requirements

Moving the Equipment

1. When moving the equipment by hand, wear protective gloves to prevent injuries.
2. Move the equipment carefully as it is heavy. When two or more people are needed to help move the equipment, ensure communication and coordination among individuals to avoid crushing or sprains.

Using Tools

1. Use wooden or fiberglass ladders when performing live work at heights.
2. Before using a ladder, check that it is intact and confirm its load capacity. Do not overload it.
3. Ensure the operator is qualified to use installation tools such as ladders, power augers, drills, etc. Ensure the tool's power cord is not tangled.
4. When installing, strictly prevent screws, nuts, and spacers from falling inside the equipment and ensure that tools (such as the electric drill) do not fall into the gap between the installed equipment and the wall to avoid delaying the installation.

Drilling Holes

1. Wear safety glasses and gloves when drilling holes.
2. When drilling holes, protect the equipment from chips or dust. After drilling, quickly clean up any chips or dust that have accumulated at the installation site, otherwise the drilled hole may become blocked.

Ground Conductor Monitoring

The inverter is equipped with a ground conductor monitoring device. This device detects the absence of a ground conductor connection and disconnects the inverter from the public power grid if this occurs. Depending on the installation site and network configuration, it may be advisable to disable ground conductor monitoring. This may be necessary if there is no neutral conductor and you intend to install the inverter between two line conductors.

Ground conductor monitoring must be disabled after the first startup depending on the network configuration. Safety compliance with IEC 62109 is maintained when ground conductor monitoring is disabled. To ensure safety according to IEC 62109 when ground conductor monitoring is disabled, you must connect an additional ground conductor to the inverter.

Connect an additional ground conductor with a cross-sectional area of at least 10 mm². Ground the PE hole of the GRID connector and the equipment casing.
