11.1 Maintenance of the controller
The controller is basically maintenance-free. Despite this, it is a good idea to regularly check that the
cooling ribs on the rear side of the device are free of dust. Clean the inverter when necessary as
described below.
CAUTION!
Danger of damage to components
–
Do not allow cleaning agents or objects to enter the inside of the controller from the front.
– Do not use especially the following cleaning agents:
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– disinfectants and/or
– coarse, abrasive or sharp-edged cleaning agents.
11.1.1 Removing dust
Dust should be removed using compressed air (max. 2 bar).
11.1.2
Removing heavy soiling
DANGER!
Risk of death by electrocution!
–
Switch off the solar module and battery before cleaning, as described in
Ä
Chapter 11.3
‘Dismounting the controller’ on page 122.
– Use cleaning agents only with a slightly damp cloth.
Remove heavy soiling with a slightly damp cloth (use clear water). If necessary, use a 2 %
hard soap solution instead of water. After cleaning, remove any soap residue using a slightly
damp cloth.
11.2
System maintenance
We recommend checking all system components at least once a year, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. The following maintenance work is generally recommended:
