2. DANGER Risk of death by electric shock if inverters are opened Never open the inverter housing when the in verter is connected to power See Switching off the inverters Page 34 Always read the installation and safety instruc tions given in the manual for the corresponding inverter 9 1 Switch off the inverters and Solar Log Switching inverters off Before a making a cable connection between the Solar Log and the connections inside the inverter and before installing an interface card in the inverter always turn off all of the inverters first To do this read the manufacturer s documentation for the inverter and proceed as follows Disconnect the AC side Disconnect the DC side Wait at least 5 minutes until the condensers in the inverters have discharged Switching the Solar Log off Unplug the power socket connection Connecting accessories 10 Connecting accessories 10 1 Sensor basic and Sensor residential These sensors record both Irradiation sensor and module temperature values The solar radiation sensor must be fitted in such a way that the sensor s solar cell and the plant s modules are aligned as similarly as possible to the sun i e the sensor must have the same alignment and inclination The sensors should be positioned in a way to best ensure that as little overshadowing as possible occurs snow cover does not interfere disproportionally with the sensor functions To achieve
