Proper use

The PIKO inverter converts DC current into AC current and feeds this into the public mains grid. The unit may only be used in grid-connected photovoltaic sys-tems within the permissible power range and under the permissible environmental conditions. The device is not intended for mobile use.

Inappropriate use can be hazardous and lead to injury or even death of 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.

exclusion of liability

Any use that differs from or goes beyond the stated intended purpose is conside-red inappropriate. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from this. Modifications to the inverter are prohibited. The inverter may only be used if safe to operate and in technically perfect condition. Any instance of misuse will cause the termination of the warranty, guarantee and general liability of the manufacturer.

Only a qualified electrician may open the device. The inverter must be installed by an electrician who is responsible for observing the applicable norms and regulations. Work that could affect the electrical power system of the respective utility company at the site of the solar energy feed-in may only be carried out by qualified electricians expressly authorised (licensed) by the utility company.

This includes changes to the factory preset parameters. The installer must always observe the regulations of the utility company. The utility company‘s specifications must always be observed when setting the parameters.
