Basic safety instructions
Inverter
DANGER
Electric shock
Potentially fatal voltages are present at the
inverter during operation. When the inverter
is disconnected from all power sources, this
voltage remains in the inverter for up to 60
seconds.
Therefore, always carry out the following
steps before working on the inverter:
1. Turn the AC/DC disconnector to the OFF
position.
2. Disconnect the inverter from all AC and
DC voltage sources and make sure that
none of the connections can be accidentally restored.
3. Wait at least 60 seconds until the internal
capacitors have discharged.
DANGER
Electric shock
Potentially fatal voltages are present at the inverter DC connections. When light falls on the
solar modules, they immediately start to generate electricity. This also happens when light
does not fall directly on the solar modules.
► Never disconnect the inverter from the
solar modules when it is under load.
► Turn the AC/DC disconnector to the OFF
position.
► Disconnect the connection to the mains so
that the inverter cannot supply energy to
the mains.
► Disconnect the inverter from all AC and
DC voltage sources. Ensure that none of
the connections can be restored accidentally.
► Ensure that the DC cables cannot be
touched accidentally.
● Warning instructions and warning symbols attached
to the inverter by Delta Electronics must not be removed.
● The inverter has a high leakage current value. The
grounding cable must be connected before commencing operation.
● Do not disconnect any cables while the inverter is
under load due to risk of a fault arc.
● To prevent damage due to lightning strikes, follow the
provisions that apply in your country.
● The surface of the inverter can get very hot during
operation. Wear safety gloves when you touch the
inverter (apart from at the display).
● Only equipment in accordance with SELV (EN 60950)
may be connected to the RS485 interfaces.
● All connections must be sufciently insulated in order
to ensure the IP65 degree of protection. Unused connections must be closed using cover caps.
● To comply with the IEC 62109-5.3.3 safety require-
ments and avoid injury or material damage, the
inverter must be installed and operated in accordance
with the safety and operating instructions set out in
this manual. Delta Electronics is not responsible for
damage resulting from failure to follow the safety and
operating instructions set out in this manual.
● The inverter may be installed and commissioned only
by installers who have been trained and certied for
the installation and operation of mains-based solar
inverters.
● All repair work on the inverter must be carried out
by Delta Electronics. Otherwise, the warranty will be
void.

The batteries contain an electrolyte that can
be corrosive and toxic in contact with eyes, respiratory organs and skin. Blinding or serious
chemical burns may result.
► Install, operate and maintain the battery
box according to the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
► Follow the battery manufacturer's instruc-
tions with regard to the storage and operating temperature range of the battery.
► Sufciently ventilate the area in which the
battery box is located.
► Protect the battery box and battery from
damage.
► Never open the battery box.
► If contact with acid spray occurs, imme-
diately and thoroughly ush the affected
body area with clear water, then obtain
medical attention.
► If acid vapors are inhaled, immediately
obtain medical attention.
● All repair work on the battery box must be performed
by Delta Electronics or installers certied by Delta
Electronics; otherwise the warranty is voided.
● Warning instructions and warning symbols attached
to the battery box by Delta Electronics must not be
removed.
● Do not disconnect any cables while the battery box is
under load due to risk of a fault arc.
● To prevent damage due to lightning strikes, follow the
regulations that apply in your country or region.
● All connections must be sufciently insulated in order
to ensure the IP55 degree of protection. Seal any
unused connection openings with the closure caps
supplied.
● The battery box may be installed and commissioned
only by installers who have been trained and certied
for the installation and operation of battery storage
systems.
● Please observe the user information supplied with the
battery.
● The battery box must always be replaced in its en-
tirety. Separate replacement of the battery alone is
not intended or allowed.

System overview
L1
Washing machine
In the standard case, i.e., when mains power is available
and the sun is shining, all consumers in the house –
including the three-phase ones – are supplied via the
mains, the solar module or the batteries. If the mains
have failed and solar energy is not available, solely the
consumers connected to L’ of the inverter will be
supplied.
DC String 1
TV
Lights
L1’
The plug connector for the television is connected to
L2 and in the event of mains failure is not supplied if
energy is only available from the batteries.
L2
The inverter has a separate
MPP tracker for each of the
two DC inputs (DC1 and
DC2). Either 2 separate DC
strings or a single DC string
can be connected to the DC
inputs.
All devices connected to L’ of the inverter are
supplied with power from the batteries in the
event of mains failure.

If the Smart Monitor is connected to the router,
the Hybrid E5 System can be monitored and
configured from a laptop.
In this example, the lights,
fish tank and freezer are
connected to L’ of the inverter

Planning the installation
Inverter installation location
Installation clearances and air circulation
► Ensure sufcient air circulation. Warm air must be
able to escape from below. Leave enough space
around the inverter.
► Note the Operating temperature range without derat-
ing and the Operating temperature range.
When the Operating temperature range without derat-
ing is exceeded the inverter reduces the AC power
fed into the mains.
When the Operating temperature range is exceeded,
the inverter stops feeding AC power into the mains.
This is normal operating behavior for the inverter and
is necessary to protect the internal electronics.
>20 cm>20 cm
>20 cm>20 cm
► Use mounting materials (dowels, screws etc.) that are
suitable for the wall or the mounting system, as well
as the heavy weight of the inverter.
► Mount the inverter on a vibration-free wall to avoid
disruptions.
► When using the inverter in residential areas or in
buildings with animals, possible noise emissions can
be disturbing. Therefore, carefully choose the place of
installation.
► Mount the inverter on a reproof wall.
Mounting alignment
► Mount the inverter vertically.
Installation location of the inverter
► Attach the inverter so that the information on the
display can be read and the buttons can be operated
without any problems.
► The inverter is heavy. The wall has to be able to bear
the heavy weight of the inverter.
► Always use the mounting plate supplied with the
inverter.
Outdoor installations
► Indoor installation is generally preferable. The inverter
has a protection rating of IP65 and can therefore
be outdoors as well. When installed outdoors, the
inverter should nevertheless be protected by a roof
against direct solar irradiation, rain and snow, in order
to ensure sufcient air circulation.
