Decommissioning the Inverter
Qualified person
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock due to high voltages
High voltages are present inside the inverter. When the enclosure lid is removed, live components can be touched that can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
- Disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources ( > Disconnecting the Sunny Island from Voltage Sources).
- After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15 minutes before opening the inverter to allow the capacitors to discharge completely.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to weight of product
Injuries may result if the product is lifted incorrectly or dropped while being transported or mounted.
- Transport and lift the product carefully. Take the weight of the product into account.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
- Ensure that the inverter is disconnected from all voltage sources ( > Disconnecting the Sunny Island from Voltage Sources).
- Remove all cables from the inverter.
- Close the inverter.
- Remove the ventilation grids laterally.
- If the inverter is protected against theft, loosen the safety screws.
- Loosen the screws on both sides between the inverter and the wall mounting bracket using an Allen key (AF 5).
- Regarding SI4.4M-12: Remove the inverter by lifting it vertically up and off the wall mounting bracket. For this, use the side recess grips. Transport the inverter horizontally.
- Regarding SI6.0H-12 and SI8.0H-12: Remove the inverter by lifting it vertically up and off the wall mounting bracket. For this, use the side recess grips or a steel rod (diameter: maximum 30 mm). Transport the inverter horizontally.
- Remove the cable glands from the inverter.
- If the inverter is to be stored or shipped, pack the inverter. Use the original packaging or packaging that is suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter.
- Dispose of the inverter in accordance with the locally applicable disposal regulations for electronic waste.
