Emission Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits applied by the

local regulations.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

HANDLING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During installation, testing and inspection, adherence to all the handling and safety

instructions is mandatory. Failure to do so may result in injury or loss of life and

damage to the equipment.

Safety Symbols Information

The following safety symbols are used in this document. Familiarize yourself with the

symbols and their meaning before installing or operating the system.

WARNING!

Denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not correctly

performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life. Do not proceed

beyond a warning note until the indicated conditions are fully understood and

met.

CAUTION!

Denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not correctly

performed or adhered to, could result in damage or destruction of the

product. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until the indicated conditions

are fully understood and met.

NOTE

Denotes additional information about the current subject.

IMPORTANTSAFETYFEATURE

Denotes information about safety issues.

Disposal requirements under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

regulations:

NOTE

Discard this product according to local regulations or send it back to SolarEdge.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following. This manual contains important instructions that shall

be followed during installation, operation and maintenance of the unit.

a. Read all the instructions before using this product.

b. This device should be supervised when used around children.

c. Do not put fingers into the electric vehicle connector.

d. Do not use this product if the flexible power cord or EV cable is frayed, has

broken insulation, or any other signs of damage.

e. Do not use this product if the enclosure or the EV connector is broken,

cracked, open, or shows any other indication of damage.

1. An insulated grounding conductor that is identical in size, insulation

material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit

supply conductors, except that it is green with or without one or more

yellow stripes, shall be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the

device or system.

2. The grounding conductor described in item 1 shall be grounded to earth at

the service equipment or, when supplied by a separately derived system, at

the supply transformer.

WARNING!

The inverter cover must be opened only after switching the inverter ON/OFF/P

switch located at the bottom of the inverter to OFF. This disables the DC voltage

inside the inverter. Wait five minutes before opening the cover. Otherwise, there

is a risk of electric shock from energy stored in the capacitors.

7 IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS



WARNING!

Before operating the inverter, ensure that the inverter AC power cable and wall

outlet are grounded properly. This product must be connected to a grounded,

metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must

be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding

terminal or lead on the product.

WARNING!

Opening the inverter and repairing or testing under power must be performed

only by qualified service personnel familiar with this inverter.

WARNING!

Do not touch the PV panels or any rail system connected when the inverter

switch is ON, unless grounded.

WARNING!

SafeDC complies with IEC60947-3 when installing the system with a worst case

SafeDC voltage (under fault conditions) < 120V.

The worst case voltage is defined as: Voc,max+ (String Length-1)*1V, where:

Voc,max = Maximum Voc (at lowest temperature) of the PV panels in the

string (for a string with multiple panels, use the max value)

String Length = number of power optimisers in the string

CAUTION!

This unit must be operated according to the technical specification datasheet

provided with the unit.

CAUTION!

HEAVY OBJECT. To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use proper lifting

techniques, and if required - a lifting aid.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS 8

EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

NOTE

The inverter is IP65 rated . Unused conduit openings and glands should be

sealed with appropriate seals.

NOTE

Use PV panels rated according to IEC 61730 class A.

NOTE

The symbol appears at grounding points on the SolarEdge equipment. This

symbol is also used in this manual.

NOTE

A SolarEdge inverter may be installed in a site with a generator. SolarEdge

requires installing a physical or electronic interlock, which will signal to the

inverter when the grid has been disconnected. Interlock procurement,

installation, maintenance and support are the responsibility of the installer.

Damage to the inverter due to incorrect interlock installation or use of an

interlock that is incompatible with the SolarEdge system will render the

SolarEdge warranty invalid.

For more information, refer to

https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/se-inverter-

support-of-voltage-sources.pdf.

NOTE

The following warning symbols appear on the inverter warning label:

Risk of electric shock

Risk of electric shock from energy stored in the capacitor. Do not

remove cover until 5 minutes after disconnecting all sources of

supply.

Hot surface – To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch.
