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.
