The PIKO inverter converts direct current into alternating current. This can be used as follows:
for self-consumption
for feed-in into the public grid
The device may only be used in grid-connected photovoltaic systems within the permissible power range and under the permissible ambient conditions. The device is not intended for mobile use.
Inappropriate use may lead to injury or even death to the user or third parties. Material damage to the device and other equipment can also occur. The inverter may therefore only be used for its intended purpose.
All components fitted on the inverter or in the PV system must satisfy the standards and guidelines that apply in the country of installation.
Labels on the inverter
Signs and labels are affixed to the housing of the inverter.
These signs and labels must not be altered or removed.

Safety instructions
DANGER!
RISK OF DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND DISCHARGE
Life-threatening voltages are present in the inverter. Only a qualified electrician may open and perform work on the device.
Always de-energise the device during installation, maintenance and repairs, and secure it against being switched back on.
The PV generators/cables may be live as soon as they are exposed to light.
DC cables must never be connected to or disconnected from the device during operation, as dangerous arcs may form. De-energise DC side, then mount or remove plug connector!
WARNING!
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT PARTS
Allow device to cool before any maintenance or repair work.
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT PARTS ON THE DEVICE
Some of the inverter components can reach temperatures of over 80^ during operation. Select the installation site in accordance with the information provided in these instructions. Always keep the ventilation openings clear.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO OVERCURRENT AND HEATING OF THE MAINS CABLE
Install line circuit breaker to secure against overcurrent.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION
Incorrectly fitted plugs and sockets may heat up and cause a fire. During installation, be sure to follow the manufacturer's requirements and manual.
WARNING!
INJURIES CAN RESULT FROM DESTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE
When the maximum values for the permitted input voltage at the DC inputs are exceeded, this can result in serious damage, which may destroy the device and cause serious injury to any person present. Even briefly exceeding the voltage may cause damage to the device.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The inverter may only be installed, maintained and repaired by a trained and qualified electrician. The electrician is responsible for ensuring that the applicable standards and regulations are observed and implemented. Work that could affect the electrical power system of the relevant energy supply company at the site of the solar power feed-in may only be carried out by qualified electricians expressly authorised (licensed) by the energy supply company. This includes changes to the factory pre-set parameters, e.g. using the PARAKO parameterisation software.
It must be ensured that the L1-L3 phases on the inverter's AC terminal and the phases in the grid are assigned uniformly.
If residual current protection equipment (RCD) is used, a type A RCD ≥ 300mA can be used on the AC side. Use of a type A RCD is set in the Webserver. (Default setting: compatibility with type A RCD).
The solar modules connected to the inverter must comply with Class A of the IEC 61730 standard.
For initial commissioning, at least the "min. input voltage (U DCmin)" must be present and there must be an output greater than the self-consumption of the inverter.
POSSIBLE DAMAGE
Risk of damage when the inverter is placed on its underside. Always place the inverter on its rear side (cooling elements) after unpacking.
If the PV generators are incorrectly connected, the inverter may be damaged. Check the connections before commissioning.
Installation
Perform inverter assembly, installation and commissioning based on the information provided in the Installation chapter on page 56 onwards
