Noise emission
values
EMC measures
Disposal
The maximum sound power level of the inverter is specified in the Technical
Data.
The device is cooled as quietly as possible with the aid of an electronic temperature control system; this depends on the amount of converted power, the
ambient temperature, the level of soiling of the device, etc.
It is not possible to provide a workplace-related emission value for this device
because the actual sound pressure level is heavily influenced by the installation situation, the power quality, the surrounding walls and the properties of
the room in general.
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values
for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the
device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers). If this is the
case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
To comply with the European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation as national law, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its life and dead batteries must be sorted
from general waste and returned to an approved recycling facility. Any device
that you no longer require must either be returned to your dealer or given to
one of the approved collection and recycling facilities in your area. Ignoring
this European Directive may be harmful to the environment and your own
health!
If you need to replace your battery at some point, Fronius will take back the
old device and arrange for it to be recycled in an appropriate manner.

General information
Fronius Symo Hybrid
EN
Device concept
Device design:
(1) (2) (3)
(4)(5)(6)
The hybrid inverter converts the direct current generated by the solar modules into alternating current. This alternating current is fed into the public grid synchronously with the grid
voltage. In addition, the solar energy can be stored in a connected Fronius Solar Battery
for use later on.
This version of the hybrid inverter is only intended for use in grid connected photovoltaic
systems. A device update is required from the manufacturer in order to generate power
separately from the public grid. As well as providing functional enhancements for the hardware and software, this update also includes relevant user documentation.
The hybrid inverter is delivered ready for supplying emergency power.
(1) Housing lid
(2) Inverter
(3) Wall bracket
(4) Connection area including DC main
switch
(5) Data communication area
(6) Data communication cover
Thanks to its design and the way it works, the inverter is extremely safe both to install and
to operate.
The inverter monitors the public grid automatically. In the event of abnormal grid conditions, the inverter ceases operating immediately and stops feeding power into the grid (e.g.
if the grid is switched off, if there is an interruption, etc.).
Grid monitoring involves voltage, frequency and islanding detection monitoring.
Operation of the inverter is fully automatic.
The inverter is designed to get as much power out of the solar modules as possible.
Depending on the operating point, this power is either stored in the battery or it is fed into
the grid.
As soon as the solar modules stop providing sufficient energy, the power from the Fronius
Solar Battery is fed into the home network. Depending on the selected setting, power can
also be drawn from the public grid for the purpose of charging the battery.
If no power is available from the solar modules and no power is being drawn from the batteries, the inverter disconnects the power electronics from the grid completely and ceases
operating. It retains all its settings and stored data.
If the inverter becomes too hot, it automatically reduces the current output power or current
charging power in order to protect itself.
Reasons for the inverter becoming too hot include the ambient temperature being too high
or inadequate heat dissipation (e.g. if it is installed in a switch cabinet without suitable heat
dissipation).
IMPORTANT! The Fronius Solar Battery is only to be switched on when the inverter is in
Standby mode.
13
Proper use The solar inverter is exclusively intended for charging a Fronius Solar Battery with direct
current from solar modules or for converting this direct current into alternating current and
feeding it into the public grid.

Item Description
(1) Display
For displaying values, settings and menus
Monitoring and status LEDs
(2) General status LED
Lights up steady:
- If a status code is being displayed on the monitor (red for error, orange for
warning)
- If the process of feeding energy into the grid is interrupted
- During error handling (the inverter waits for an acknowledgement or for an
error to be rectified)
(3) Startup LED (orange)
Lights up steady:
- If the inverter is in its automatic startup or self-test phase (as soon after
sunrise as the solar modules are delivering sufficient power)
- If the inverter has been switched to Standby mode in the Setup menu (=
feeding energy into the grid switched off manually)
- If the inverter software is being updated
(4) Operating status LED (green)
Lights up steady:
- If the PV system is working correctly after the inverter's automatic startup
phase
- When system is feeding energy into the grid or is in Storage mode
