The device has been manufactured in line with the state of the art and according to recognized safety standards.
Incorrect operation or misuse
Serious to fatal injuries to the operator or third parties as well as damage to the device and other property of the operator may result.
All persons involved in the commissioning, maintenance, and servicing of the device must be appropriately qualified and have knowledge of working with electrical installations.
Read these operating instructions in full and follow them carefully and precisely.
The operating instructions must always be kept to hand wherever the device is being used.
IMPORTANT!
Labels, warning notices, and safety symbols are located on the device. A description can be found in these operating instructions.
Tampered-with and non-functioning protection devices
Serious to fatal injuries as well as damage to the device and other property of the operator may result.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
Any protection devices that are not fully functional must be repaired by an authorized specialist before the device is switched on.
Loose, damaged, or under-dimensioned cables
An electric shock can be fatal.
Use undamaged, insulated, and adequately dimensioned cables.
Fasten the cables according to the specifications in the operating instructions.
Loose, damaged, or under-dimensioned cables must be repaired or replaced immediately by an authorized specialist.
Installations or modifications to the device
The device may be damaged
Do not carry out any alterations, installations, or modifications to the device without first obtaining the manufacturer's permission.
Damaged components must be replaced.
Only use original spare parts.
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g., when there is equipment that is susceptible to interference at the same location or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers). If this is the case, the operator is obliged to take action to rectify the situation.
During operation, due to the high electrical voltages and currents, local electromagnetic fields (EMF) occur in the environment around the inverter and the Fronius system components as well as in the area of the PV modules including the supply lines.
In the case of exposure to humans, the required limit values are observed when the products are used in line with the intended use and the recommended distance of at least 20 cm is observed.
If these limit values are complied with, according to current scientific knowledge, no health-endangering effects from EMF exposure are to be expected. If wearers of prostheses (implants, metal parts in and on the body) as well as active physical aids (pacemakers, insulin pumps, hearing aids, etc.) are in the vicinity of components of the PV system, they must consult with the responsible doctor regarding possible health risks.
The connection of a defined point in the device, system, or installation to earth serves either to protect against electric shock in the event of a fault (protective earthing) or to ensure a defined electrical potential for operation (functional grounding).
When installing a battery system, a ground conductor connection is required depending on the safety class (see Technical data).
When connecting the ground conductor, ensure that it is secured against unintentional disconnection. All of the points listed in the chapter headed Connecting the ground conductor (PE) on page (→) must be observed. When using cable glands, make sure the ground conductor will be the last conductor subjected to mechanical stress in the event of a cable gland failure. The respective national standards and regulations and requirements for minimum cross-section must be observed when connecting the ground conductor.
IMPORTANT!
Technical data, markings, warnings, and safety symbols are applied to the battery. This information must be kept in a legible condition and must not be removed, covered, painted over, or concealed by stickers or labels. The information and symbols warn against incorrect operation, which may result in serious injury and property damage.

Data security for network and Internet connection
Unsecured networks and a lack of safeguards can result in data loss and unauthorized access. Observe the following points for safe operation:
Operate inverters and system components on a private, secure network. A WiFi network is considered secure if security standard WPA 2 is satisfied as a minimum.
Keep the network devices (e.g., WiFi routers) up to date with the latest technology.
Keep the software and/or firmware updated.
Use a wired network to ensure a stable data connection.
For security reasons, do not make inverters and system components accessible from the Internet via port forwarding or Port Address Translation (PAT).
Use the solutions provided by Fronius for monitoring and remote configuration.
The optional communication protocol Modbus TCP/IP1) is an unsecured interface. Only use Modbus TCP/IP if no other secured data communication protocol (MQTT2)) is possible (e.g., compatibility with older Smart Meters).
1) TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

There is no energy available from the PV modules or from the public grid. If backup power operation or battery operation are not possible (e.g., deep discharge protection of the battery), the inverter and battery switch off.
There is no energy available from the PV modules or from the public grid. If backup power operation or battery operation are not possible (e.g., deep discharge protection of the battery), the inverter and battery switch off.
Status codes about the inactive state of the battery are displayed on the user interface of the inverter. A notification via e-mail can be activated in Fronius Solar.web.
As soon as energy is available again, the inverter and the battery will start operation automatically. If the battery has switched off to protect against deep discharge for example, the battery must be started manually (dark start), see chapter Switching on the photovoltaic system on page (→).
The inverter requires a supply of energy from the battery to start backup power mode. This is established manually on the battery as described below.
Set the switch position of the battery's DC disconnector to "On".
Close the cover on the DC disconnector with an audible click and secure it with the screws to prevent unauthorized opening.

Forced re-charging to protect against deep discharge takes place automatically using solar energy or energy from the grid if the battery's state of charge (SoC) falls below the minimum level and the requirements are met.
Danger of deep discharge of battery modules.
This can result in irreparable damage to the battery modules.
If the battery falls below the minimum state of charge (SoC), it must be recharged within 7 days to protect against deep discharge.
Start forced re-charging if the battery has switched off automatically to protect against deep discharge, see chapter Switching on the photovoltaic system on page (→).
Waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with the European Directive and national law. Used equipment must be returned to the distributor or through a local authorized collection and disposal system. Proper disposal of the used device promotes sustainable recycling of resources and prevents negative effects on health and the environment.
