2.2 Safety Precautions
This section contains safety precautions that must be observed at all times when working on or with the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section
carefully and follow all safety precautions at all times.
'$1*(5
Danger to life from electric shock due to live voltage
High voltages are present in the live components of the Sunny Central. Touching live components results in death or
serious injury due to electric shock.
• When working in a high contact-risk environment, wear personal protective equipment.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Follow the instructions precisely.
• Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.
• Observe all safety precautions of the module manufacturer.
• Provided live voltage is not absolutely necessary, always disconnect the following components from voltage
sources before performing any work on the inverter:
– Line voltage for grid feed-in
– Internal power supply
– DC voltage from the PV array
– Additional external voltages, e.g. control signals from a control room
• Ensure that no disconnected components can be reconnected.
• After disconnecting the Sunny Central from voltage sources, wait at least 15 minutes for the capacitors to
discharge completely before opening the Sunny Central.
• Before working on the Sunny Central, check that all devices are completely voltage-free.
• Ground and short-circuit.
• Cover or isolate any adjacent live components.
Danger to life from electric shock due to ground fault
If a ground fault has occurred, parts of the PV system that are supposedly grounded may in fact be live. Touching
incorrectly grounded components results in death or serious injuries from electric shock.
• Ensure that no voltage is present before touching any components of the PV system.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the Sunny Central.
Danger to life from electric shock if the Sunny Central is damaged
Operating a damaged Sunny Central can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious injuries due to
electric shock.
• Only use the Sunny Central when it is in a technically faultless condition and safe to operate.
• Regularly check the Sunny Central for visible damage.
• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.

Danger to life from electric shock even if the inverter is disconnected on the AC and DC sides
The precharge unit of the option "Q at Night" is live even if the AC contactor and the DC switch are open.
Touching live components of this assembly will result in death or serious injury.
• Switch off the inverter.
• After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15 minutes before opening it until the inverter capacitors have
discharged completely.
• Before performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it and secure against reconnection.
• Ensure that no voltage is present.
• Do not remove protective covers.
• Observe the warning messages.
• Wear personal protective equipment.
:$51,1*
Danger to life from electric shock when entering the PV field
The insulation monitoring with GFDI, Remote GFDI and Soft Grounding does not provide protection from injury when
GFDI is activated. PV modules which are grounded with GFDI discharge voltage to ground. Entering the PV field can
result in lethal electric shocks.
• The inverter must be installed in a closed operating area.
• Before entering the PV field, switch the PV array to insulated operation.
• Ensure that the insulation resistance of the PV field is greater than 1 k Ω .
Danger to life due to blocked escape routes
In hazardous situations, blocked escape routes can lead to death or serious injury. Opening the doors of two
Sunny Central inverters located opposite each other blocks the escape route. It is imperative that the escape route is
freely accessible at all times.
• An escape route of at least 500 mm width must be available at all times. Make sure the minimum passage width
of the escape route meets local standards.
• Do not place any objects in the escape route area.
• Remove all tripping hazards from escape routes.
• If two Sunny Central inverters have been installed facing each other, never open the doors of both inverters
simultaneously.
Risk of fire due to failure to observe torque specifications on live bolted connections
Failure to follow the specified torques reduces the ampacity of live bolted connections so that the contact resistances
increase. This can cause components to overheat and catch fire.
• Ensure that live bolted connections are always tightened with the exact torque specified in this document.
• When working on the device, use suitable tools only.
• Avoid repeated tightening of live bolted connections as this may result in unacceptably high torques.

Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components of the Sunny Central can get very hot during operation. Touching these components can cause
burns.
• Observe the warning messages on the devices.
• During operation, do not touch any components marked with such warnings.
• After disconnecting the PV system from voltage sources, wait until hot components have cooled down sufficiently.
/05*$&
Damage to electronic components due to electrostatic discharge
By touching electronic components, you can damage or even destroy the inverter through electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Observe the ESD safety regulations when working on the device.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the device.
• Discharge electrostatic charge by touching uncoated, grounded enclosure parts (e.g. near the grounding
connection on the doors). Only then is it safe to touch electronic components.
Damage to the devices due to dust or moisture penetration
Dust or moisture penetration can damage the Sunny Central or impair its functionality.
• Do not open the Sunny Central during rainfall or humidity of more than 95%.
