12 Decommissioning the Inverter
7. If other cables (e.g. data cables or network cables) are connected, remove them from the
inverter.
8. Remove all conduits with cables from the inverter.
9. Close all enclosure openings.
10.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
• Wait 30 minutes before disassembling the inverter. This will allow the enclosure to cool
down and thus prevent burn injuries.
11. Remove the inverter by lifting it vertically up and off the wall mounting bracket.
12. Insert the lower enclosure lid from above and flip it
down. Make sure that the ribbon cable of the
communication assembly is not clamped and that
the screws must protrude from the lower enclosure
lid.
13. Tighten all six screws with an Allen key (AF 3) in the
order 1 to 6 (torque: 2.0 Nm (17.7 in-lb)). Make
sure that the ribbon cable of the communication
assembly is not clamped. By tightening the screws
in the prescribed order, you avoid warping the
enclosure lid, which would keep it from sealing
correctly.
Useful hint: If the screws fall out of the lower
enclosure lid, insert the long screw into the lower
middle hole and the five short screws into the other
holes.
14. Release the screws from the wall mounting bracket and take the bracket off the wall.
15. If the inverter is to be stored or shipped, pack the inverter and the wall mounting bracket. Use
the original packaging or packaging that is suitable for the weight and dimensions of the
inverter and secure with tension belts if necessary.
16. Dispose of the inverter in accordance with the locally applicable disposal regulations for
electronic waste.
