Solis Three Phase Inverter does not require any regular maintenance. However,
cleaning the dust on heat-sink will help the inverter to dissipate the heat and increase its life
time. The dust can be removed with a soft brush.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the inverter's surface when it is operating. Some parts of the
inverter may be hot and cause burns. Turn off the inverter (refer to Section
6.2) and wait for a cool-down period before any maintenance or cleaning
operation.
The LCD and the LED status indicator lights can be cleaned with a damp cloth if they are too
dirty to be read.
NOTE:
Never use any solvents, abrasives or corrosive materials to clean the inverter.
The inverter is designed in accordance with the most important international grid-tied
standards and safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Before delivering to
the customer, the inverter has been subjected to several tests to ensure its optimal operation
and reliability.
In case of failure, the LCD screen will display an alarm message. In this case, the inverter
may stop feeding into the grid. The failure descriptions and their corresponding alarm
messages are listed in Table 9.1:
