Please keep the user manual properly. Accesories only together with the inverter shipment are recommanded here. Otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to person. Make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not disassemble any parts of inverter which are not mentioned in installation guide. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and will void your warranty. Keep away from flammable, explosive materials to avoid fire disaster. The installation place should be away from humid or corrosive substance. Authorized service personnel must use insulated tools when installing or working with this equipment. The unit contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the MAINS and battery has been disconnected. Hazardous voltage will present for up to 5 minutes after disconnection from power supply. CAUTION-RISK of electric shock from energy stored in capacitor, Never operate on the inverter couplers, the MAINS cables or Battery cables when power is applied. After switching off the battery and Mains, always wait for 5minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before unpluging battery inplug and MAINS couplers. When accessing the internal circuit of inverter, it is very important to wait 5 minutes before operating the power circuit or demounting the electrolyte capacitors inside the device. Do not open the device before hand since the capacitors require time to sufficiently discharge! Measure the voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC- with a multi-meter (impedance at least 1Mohm) to ensure that the device is discharged before beginning work (35VDC) inside the device. Lightning will cause a damage either from a direct strike or from surges due to a nearby strike. Specialists in lightning protection should be consulted during the end use application. Using appropriate external lightning protection, the effect of a direct lightning strike into a building can be mitigated in a controlled way, and the lightning current can be discharged into the ground. Installation of SPDs to protect the inverter against mechanical damage and excessive stress include a surge arrester in case of a building with external lightning protection system (LPS) when separation distance is kept. To protect the AC system, surge suppression devices (SPD type2) should be fitted at the main incoming point of AC supply (at the consumer’s cutout), located between the inverter and the meter/distribution system; SPD (test impulse D1) for signal line according to EN 61632-1. 05 Safety Safety ►Anti-Islanding Effect ► Battery Safety Instructions • Islanding effect is a special phenomenon that grid-connected system still supply power to the nearby grid when the voltage loss is happened in the power system. It is dangerous for maintenance personnel and the public. • X1-Retro Fit series inverter provide Active Frequency Drift(AFD) to prevent islanding effect. SolaX X1-Retro Fit series inverter should be worked with high voltage battery, for the specific parameters such as battery type, nominal voltage and nominal capacity etc., please refer to section 4.2. As accumulator batteries may contain potential electric shock and short-circuit current danger, to avoid accidents that might be thus resulted, the following warnings should be observed during battery replacement: 1: Do not wear watches, rings or similar metallic items. 2: Use insulated tools. 3: Put on rubber shoes and gloves. 4: Do not place metallic tools and similar metallic parts on the batteries. 5: Switch off load connected to the batteries before dismantling battery connection terminals. 6: Only personal with proper expertise can carry out the maintenance of accumulator batteries. ► PE Connection and Leakage Current • The inverter incorporates a certified internal Residual Current Device (RCD) in order to protect against possible electrocution and fire hazard in case of a malfunction in the cables or the inverter. There are two trip thresholds for the RCD as required for certification (IEC 62109-2:2011). The default value for eletrocution protection is 30mA, and for slow rising current is 300mA. • If an external RCD is required by local regulations, check which type of RCD is required for relevant eletric code. It recommends using a type-A RCD. The recommended RCD values is 100mA or 300mA unless a lower value is required by the specific local electric codes. When required by local regulations, the use of an RCD type B is permitted. WARNING ! High leakage current!
