Proper use

The PIKO inverter converts direct current into alternating current. This can be used as follows:
for self-consumption
n
for feed-in into the public grid
n
The device may only be used in grid-connected photovoltaic systems within the permissible power
range and under the permissible ambient conditions. The device is not intended for mobile use.
Inappropriate use may lead to injury or even death to the user or third parties. Material damage
to the device and other equipment can also occur. The inverter may therefore only be used for its
intended purpose.
All components fitted on the inverter or in the PV system must satisfy the standards and guidelines
that apply in the country of installation.
Labels on the inverter
Signs and labels are affixed to the housing of the inverter.
These signs and labels must not be altered or removed.

Safety instructions

DANGER!
RISK OF DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND DISCHARGE
Life-threatening voltages are present in the inverter. Only a qualified electrician may open
and perform work on the device.
Always de-energise the device during installation, maintenance and repairs, and secure it
against being switched back on.
The PV generators/cables may be live as soon as they are exposed to light.
DC cables must never be connected to or disconnected from the device during operation, as
dangerous arcs may form. De-energise DC side, then mount or remove plug connector!
WARNING!
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT PARTS
Allow device to cool before any maintenance or repair work.
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT PARTS ON THE DEVICE
Some of the inverter components can reach temperatures of over 80°C during operation.
Select the installation site in accordance with the information provided in these instructions.
Always keep the ventilation openings clear.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO OVERCURRENT AND HEATING OF THE MAINS CABLE
Install line circuit breaker to secure against overcurrent.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Incorrectly fitted plugs and sockets may heat up and cause a fire. During installation, be
sure to follow the manufacturer's requirements and manual.
WARNING!
INJURIES CAN RESULT FROM DESTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE
When the maximum values for the permitted input voltage at the DC inputs are exceeded,
this can result in serious damage, which may destroy the device and cause serious injury to
any person present. Even briefly exceeding the voltage may cause damage to the device.
