Basic safety instructions
Safety instructions for all M88H
WARNING
Electric shock
When the cover is removed from the wiring box,
this exposes voltage-carrying parts and protection conforming to IP65 is no longer guaranteed.
► Remove the cover only when absolutely
necessary.
► Do not remove the cover if water or dirt
might enter the inverter.
► After work is completed, ensure that the
cover is properly replaced and screwed in.
Check that the cover is properly sealed.
NOTICE
Incorrectly dimensioned solar system.
A solar system of the wrong size may cause
damage to the inverter.
► When calculating the module string, always
pay attention to technical data of the inverter
(input voltage range, maximum current
and maximum input power); see chapter
"Technical Data."
●To comply with the IEC 62109-5.3.3 safety requirements
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.
●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 groun-
ding 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 provi-
sions that apply in your country.
●The surface of the inverter can get very hot during operati-
on. Wear safety gloves when you touch the inverter (apart
from at the display).
●The inverter is very heavy. For lifting and moving use a me-
chanical lifting device (e.g. a crane or hoist). At least three
persons are required for manual hoisting and moving.
●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.
Safety instructions for the M88H_121 (ST)
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 100
seconds.
Therefore, always carry out the following steps
before working on the inverter:
1. Disconnect the inverter from all AC and DC
voltage sources and make sure that none
of the connections can be accidentally
restored.
2. Wait at least 100 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.
► 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.

Danger to life through electric shock
Potentially fatal voltage is present inside the inverter during operation and this voltage remains present for up
to 100 seconds after disconnection from the power supply.
Only the wiring box may be opened. All other device parts may not be opened.
Before working on the inverter, read the supplied manual and follow the instructions contained therein.
This inverter is not separated from the grid by a transformer.
The housing of the inverter must be grounded if this is required by local regulations.
WEEE mark
The inverter must not be disposed of as standard household waste, but in accordance with the applicable
electronic waste disposal regulations of your country or region.
This regulatory symbol does not apply to the EU because the noise level lies below the EU guidelines.

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 very heavy. The wall
or mounting system must be able
to bear the heavy weight of the
inverter.
► Always use the mounting plate
supplied with the inverter.
► 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 residenti-
al 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
Mounting without mounting rackMounting with mounting rack
≤90°
Outdoor installations
► The inverter has a protection degree of IP65 and can be
installed indoors and outdoors. Despite this, the inverter
should be protected by a roof against direct solar irradiation, rain and snow. For example, the power of the inverter
will be reduced if it is too heavily heated by solar radiation.
This is normal operating behavior for the inverter and is
necessary to protect the internal electronics.

Planning the installation
► Ensure sufcient air circulation. Hot air
must be able to dissipate upwards. Leave enough space around each inverter.
► Do not install inverters above one ano-
ther so that they do not heat each other.
► Note the Operating temperature ran-
ge without derating and the Operating
temperature range. When the Operating
temperature range without derating is
exceeded, the inverter reduces the AC
power fed into the mains grid. 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.
► In areas with many trees or elds, pollen
can clog the air inlets and outlets, hinde-
ring the air ow.

Lifting and transporting the inverter

AC and DC cable requirements
M88H_121 (ST) – AC and DC terminal blocks
General information
The section describes the general technical characteristics of
the AC and DC terminal blocks. The special features which
apply to the installation of the inverter are explained in the following sections.
AC and DC terminal blocks are of the same type.
The specications in this section have been
dened by Phoenix Contact. Check if the technical specications have changed before starting
installation work; see www.phoenixcontact.com.
NOTICE
Danger of a cable re.
Bending and twisting causes damage to the
inner structure of the conductor, which leads to
punctiform increase in electrical resistance. This
can result in an overheating of the conductor
and destruction of the insulation.
► When bending and twisting cables or
conductors, always comply with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
