DANGER!
Risk of death by electrocution! Observe the following safety instructions when performing the
measures described in section

‘Installation of the base system’ on page 23.
General information
n Only technical professionals may perform the work described in the section ‘Installation of the
base system’ .
n The PE connection must be connected to the system ground (grounding spike).
If the system is to be positively grounded then "PE" must be additionally connected to
battery terminal "B+". The external battery fuse must then be installed in the "B−" cable!
With this grounding method, the module relay and battery relay provide safe isolation
from the PV module.
This safe isolation from the PV module is disabled when the system is negatively grounded
via "B−" or "B−" and "PE". In the case of a simple fault (module relay does not open),
grounding of "B−" results in the "M−" potential being present on the casing of the MPPT
via the "PE" – ground connection. Only implement this grounding method when the system
has additional protection against touching live and electrically conductive system
components.
Common grounding of "M1−/M2−" with "B−", "M1+/M2+" with "B+", "M1−/M2−" with "B
+" or "M1+/M2+" with "B−" is generally not permitted.
The solar module frames can always be grounded.
n The solar module installation branch, including the DC load circuit breaker up to the controller
terminal area, must be implemented to protection class II.
n The battery installation branch must be implemented to protection class II.
n The following components must be installed:
battery,
at least 1 solar module,
external battery fuse (safety fuse or DC circuit breaker) and
a DC load circuit breaker for solar modules 1 and 2.
n Do not open the controller casing. Only the terminal cover may be removed by a technical
professional for installation.
