2.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working.

The product has been designed and tested in accordance with international safety requirements. As

with all electrical or electronical devices, there are residual risks despite careful construction. 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 electric shock when live components or cables of the

inverter are touched

High voltages are present in the conductive components or cables of the inverter. Touching live

parts and cables of the inverter results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected

before working on the device.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

• Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.

DANGER

Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are

touched

When exposed to light, the PV modules generate high DC voltage which is present in the DC

cables. Touching live DC cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.

• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected

before working on the device.

• Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

DANGER

Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live system components in

case of a ground fault

If a ground fault occurs, parts of the system may still be live. Touching live parts and cables

results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected

before working on the device.

• Touch the cables of the PV array on the insulation only.

• Do not connect PV strings with ground faults to the inverter.

• Once disconnected from voltage sources, wait five minutes before touching any parts of the

PV system or the inverter.

ENGLISH

2 Safety

SMA Solar Technology AG

Replacement Manual CON-SMC9-11-RM-xx-10 9

WARNING

Danger to life due to fire or explosion

In rare cases, an explosive gas mixture can be generated inside the inverter under fault

conditions. In this state, switching operations can cause a fire inside the inverter or explosion.

Death or lethal injuries due to hot or flying debris can result.

• Ensure that unauthorized persons have no access to the inverter.

• Do not remove the Electronic Solar Switch (ESS) from the inverter.

• Disconnect the PV array from the inverter via an external disconnection device. If there is no

disconnecting device present, wait until no more DC power is applied to the inverter.

• Disconnect the AC circuit breaker, or keep it disconnected in case it has already tripped,

and secure it against reconnection.

• Only perform work on the inverter (e.g., troubleshooting, repair work) when wearing

personal protective equipment for handling of hazardous substances (e.g., safety gloves,

eye and face protection, respiratory protection).

WARNING

Risk of injury due to toxic substances, gases and dusts.

In rare cases, damages to electronic components can result in the formation of toxic substances,

gases or dusts inside the inverter. Touching toxic substances and inhaling toxic gases and dusts

can cause skin irritation, burns or poisoning, trouble breathing and nausea.

• Only perform work on the inverter (e.g., troubleshooting, repair work) when wearing

personal protective equipment for handling of hazardous substances (e.g., safety gloves,

eye and face protection, respiratory protection).

• Ensure that unauthorized persons have no access to the inverter.

WARNING

Danger to life due to electric shock from destruction of the measuring device

due to overvoltage

Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and result in voltage being present in the

enclosure of the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure of the measuring device results in

death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range of 800 V or higher.

CAUTION

Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts

Some parts of the enclosure can get hot during operation. Touching hot enclosure parts can

result in burn injuries.

• During operation, do not touch any parts other than the enclosure lid of the inverter.

ENGLISH

3 Scope of Delivery SMA Solar Technology AG

Replacement ManualCON-SMC9-11-RM-xx-1010

NOTICE

Damage to the enclosure seal in subfreezing conditions

If you open the inverter when temperatures are below freezing, the enclosure seals can be

damaged. This can lead to moisture entering the inverter.

• Only open the inverter if the ambient temperature is not below -5°C.

• If a layer of ice has formed on the enclosure seal when temperatures are below freezing,

remove it prior to opening the inverter (e.g. by melting the ice with warm air).

NOTICE

Damage to the inverter due to sand, dust and moisture

Sand, dust and moisture penetration can damage the inverter, thus impairing its functionality.

• Only open the inverter if the humidity is within the thresholds and the environment is free of

sand and dust.

• Do not open the inverter during a dust storm or precipitation.

• Close the inverter in case of interruption of work or after finishing work.

NOTICE

Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge

Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter through

electrostatic discharge.

• Ground yourself before touching any component.

Grounding conductor test prior to recommissioning

Prior to recommissioning SMA inverters after the installation of SMA components or power

assemblies which cannot be replaced intuitively, ensure that the grounding conductor in the

inverter is correctly connected. The function of the grounding conductor must be ensured and

all locally applicable laws, standards and directives must be observed.

Observe superordinate standards

The repair work on devices and the consideration and application of other standards which

correspond to a superordinate standard is the responsibility of the qualified person performing

the work. Unauthorized alterations will void guarantee and warranty claims and in most cases

terminate the operating license. SMA Solar Technology AG shall not be held liable for any

damage caused by such changes.

3 Scope of Delivery

Check the scope of delivery for completeness and any externally visible damage. Contact the

Service if the delivery is incomplete or damaged.
