6.2 Phase Balancer
An unbalanced load is the difference between the nominal AC power on the three mains phases.
Energy suppliers and network operators specify a max. permissible unbalanced load for the installation of inverters on different phases of the supply network.
PLATINUM inverters TL 13000 – 22000 are equipped with three inverter modules, each of which feeds AC power on one mains phase.
The Phase Balancer function makes sure that the admissible maximum unbalanced load is not exceeded.
Î Failure of an inverter module Î Different AC powers occurring in dependence of the load
It is possible to set the admissible maximum power (unbalanced load) and the reaction time according to the specifications of the power plant operator (see 8.1 Service Menu).
6.3 Exchanging inverters
If one or more PLATINUM inverters in a PV system are replaced by another device, it is possible to transfer the device numbers of the replaced inverters.
During the network scan, the inverter automatically identifies any replaced devices.
It is possible to either use the old device numbers for the substitute devices or to reassign the numbers.
If inverters without a device number or doubly allocated device numbers are detected during the network scan, it is possible to correct this by reassigning the numbers.
Display and operation are confined to the replaced inverters. All other inverters show the start screen.

7.1 DC disconnector
Note
PLATINUM inverters 13000 TL, 16000 TL, 19000 TL, 22000 TL, 22001 TL are equipped with optional separate DC separators at each of the three DC inputs.
The standard IEC-62109 requires the possibility of separating from the PV generator without any tools. For models without integrated DC disconnector, an external disconnector on the generator side is required.
The DC disconnector enables switching on and off the solar generator.
To engage the solar generator: Â Set DC disconnector to 1 for all three connection areas.
To switch off the solar generator: Â Set DC disconnector to 0 for all three connection areas.
Note
DIEHL Controls recommends actuating the DC disconnector once a year to prevent the welding of contacts.
DIEHL Controls recommends switching off the mains voltage (AC) before switching off the DC disconnector to minimize wear and tear of the contacts.

4. Relationship of the manufacturer's guarantee to other claims The manufacturer's guarantee shall give the operator entitled to gua-
rantee claims to a guarantee against the vendor in question in addi­tion to its warranty claims to the scope of the present manufacturer's guarantee and according to its provisions. Warranty claims against the vendor in question and statutory claims from product liability shall remain unaffected by the manufacturer's guarantee.
5. Duration and claiming of the manufacturer's guarantee The manufacturer's guarantee shall apply to guarantee cases (accor-
ding to the following Section 6) of the products entitled to guarantee which can be proven to occur between the start of the twenty-fifth and the end of the one hundred and twentieth month after installation and commissioning of a product entitled to guarantee with the opera­tor entitled to guarantee ("guarantee period"). The term of this guaran­tee shall end no later than 132 months after the production date of the product entitled to guarantee stated on the name plate. For products entitled to guarantee repaired or replaced by Diehl AKO, the manufac­turer's guarantee shall apply until the expiry of the original warranty period. Statutory and/or contractual warranty claims of any kind which can occur during a statutory or contractual warranty period cannot be derived from the present manufacturer's guarantee.
All and any claims from the manufacturer's guarantee shall be made in writing to Diehl AKO by the operator entitled to guarantee within the guarantee period. Such guarantee claims can be submitted via an authorised specialised trader, wholesale trader or specialised installa­tion company.
6. Defects of the products entitled to guarantee covered by manu-
facturer's guarantee (guarantee incidents) This manufacturer's guarantee shall apply to defects occurring in pro-
ducts entitled to guarantee during the guarantee period for which Diehl AKO is answerable and which do not inconsiderably impair or reduce their feed function (in the sense of the output performance of the products entitled to guarantee registered on the AC side - by the feed current meter - "feed performance") ("guarantee incidents"). Defects in the aforementioned sense shall exclusively be defects in quality of the products entitled to guarantee in the sense of § 434 sub­section 1 German Civil Code, resulting in a not inconsiderable reduc­tion of the actual feed performance compared with the performance data contained in the installation and operating instructions for the string inverters for photovoltaic systems of the PLATINUM series affected. In addition, a guarantee incident shall be ruled out to the extent that an exclusion situation in the sense of the following section 8 exists, occurs or has occurred.

7. Rights from the manufacturer's guarantee (guarantee claims) ­damage and costs not covered – barring of the guarantee claims
If a guarantee incident occurs, there shall be free-of-charge repair of the products entitled to guarantee or free-of-charge replacement by a product manifesting a maximum output performance on the AC side coming closed to the output of the product entitled to guarantee at Diehl AKO's choice ("guarantee claims").
Repair or replacement shall exclusively be done in the Diehl AKO fac­tory in Wangen im Allgäu. Transport to Diehl AKO must be in the origi­nal or at least equivalent packaging. If repair or replacement is done at a deviating location determined by the operator entitled to guarantee at the latter's request, Diehl AKO can comply with this; in such a case, the operator entitled to guarantee shall bear the travelling expenses and the additionally necessary working time according to the stan­dard rates of Diehl AKO.
All claims from this manufacturer's guarantee exceeding repair or replacement free of charge have been ruled out, in particular claims to indemnification of defect-induced economic damage such as loss of profits including remuneration for (even temporarily) failed or reduced mains feeding, installation and dismantling costs and costs of trou­bleshooting.
If no defect is established on the product entitled to guarantee which has been delivered or if no claim from the manufacturer's guarantee exists for any other reason, Diehl AKO can request a lump-sum for processing from the operator entitled to guarantee for each product delivered and in addition demand the costs for its return transport to the final customer entitled to guarantee.
All claims from this manufacturer's guarantee (including the guaran­tee claims) shall be barred 6 months after occurrence of the defect, albeit no later than 3 months after the expiry of the guarantee period.
8. Exclusion reasons

ding to standards or according to the installation instructions or information from Diehl AKO (including the installation and opera-

9. Assignability of the guarantee This guarantee agreement including the guarantee claims resulting
herefrom can only be assigned to a third party by an operator entitled to guarantee with prior written consent from Diehl AKO.
