43 Safety Information
43.1 General information
Read the manual carefully before installing or operating the inverter. If you do not understand or are uncertain
about any operation or information please contact your dealer. Before installation you must be aware of local
standards and rules applicable to use such equipment. For installation and use of the inverter pay attention to
local applicable standards, all relevant safety guidelines and measures. These rules may be different to the
information’s provided in this manual.
High voltages up to 1200V inside the inverter! Never open the enclosure. High voltage may harm or even kill
persons or animals. Never touch wires or blank connectors. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
Warning! While sleep mode is active the inverter AC-Output is active and high voltage is present at the AC-
Output. To detect a load the inverter is sending 230VAC-Pulses to the AC-Output.
Check local standards for lightning protection of inverter systems.
No other inverter output, AC-Generator or other AC-Source may be connected to the inverters AC-Output. The
inverter will be destroyed immediately!
The enclosure may heat up to 80°C! Never obstruct louvers nor place other items on the inverters enclosure. If
ventilation is not sufficient the unit may overheat and an automatic shut off may occur.
Even if DC-Wiring is not longer connected to the batteries, inbuilt large capacitors may hold Dc-Voltage for an
extended period of time. The inverter may only be opened by skilled and authorized personnel.
Modifications without a written permission from RIPEnergy AG means that warranty is lost immediately!
The inverter contains components which can produce arks and sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install
or operate in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials. Never use or operate the unit where
there is danger of gas- or dust explosion.
After automatic shut down of the inverter because of any failure the inverter may switch ON automatic again. The
OFF period is depending on what causes the shut down and may vary from only seconds to several minutes.
43.2 Working with batteries
Using batteries in a wrong way may result in danger for personnel, animals or the environment. Check information
from battery manufacturer for safe installation and operation.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid contacts eyes, immediately
flush with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention as soon as possible.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of batteries.
Do not drop metal tools on batteries. The resulting spark or short circuit may cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with batteries.
