6 Start Up
Note Independent of demand, the inverter activates the fan as soon as
power input is started (e.g. every morning). When feeding in, the
inverter activates the fan as required.
During the startup, several basic settings such as language selection,
date and time settings are set. Information on display and operation
see 7.2 Display and operation.
Note In order to transfer all settings correctly, it is necessary to do one
complete startup.
If several inverters are installed which are networked via the EIA 485
interface, the startup can be carried out at any one of the installed
inverters (master programming). This inverter transmits the
configuration settings to all other inverters in the network. Every
inverter is automatically assigned a number at its initial startup. The
free allocation of this number is possible in a further step.
The inverters that are not used for input entries display other screen
contents depending on the menu. If no entry is possible, the inverter
shows the start screen.

Start screen
If any input has been entered in the inverter, the inverter shows the
start screen after a restart.

All inverters that are not operated during the configuration will show
the blocking screen.

Note If parameters of the inverter have been adapted to special

requirements of the energy supplier, this is indicated on the start
screen.

6.2 Phase Balancer
An unbalanced load ist he difference between the nominal AC power
on the three mains phases.
The energy provider and the power plant operator determine the
admissible maximum unbalanced load for the installation of inverters
on different phases of the supply mains.
PLATINUM Inverter 13000 TL, 16000 TL, 19000 TL, 22000 TL are
equipped with three inverter modules, each of which feeds AC power
on a 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 Replacing devices

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 renumber the devices.
If inverters without a device number or doubly allocated device
numbers are detected during the network scan, it is possible to
correct this by renumbering them.
Display and operation are confined to the replaced inverters. All other

16 Manufacturers Warranty of Diehl AKO

Stiftung & Co. KG
(Address: D-88239 Wangen im Allgäu, Pfannerstraße 75)
1. Warranted Products
This manufacturer’s warranty applies to transformerless three-phase
string inverters of the PLATINUM range of inverters for photovoltaic
systems manufactured by Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co. KG (Diehl AKO),
as far as these inverters were evidently purchased as new units from
Diehl AKO or MATRIX Power Systems GmbH or from a wholesaler,
retailer or specialist installation company authorized by Diehl AKO or
MATRIX Power Systems (Warranted Products). Such evidence is
regarded as given when Diehl AKO is provided with an original invoice
documenting the delivery of a Warranted Product to the Warranted
User and if Diehl AKO is identified as the manufacturer by an
authentic manufacturer label on the Warranted Product.
2. Beneficiaries from this manufacturer’s warranty
Diehl AKO grants this manufacturer’s warranty only to users who
demonstrably have purchased, and are the actual users of a
Warranted Product (Warranted User). Traders of any kind and trade
level do not gain from this manufacturer’s warranty any rights and
claims against Diehl AKO.
3. Establishment of the warranty
The manufacturer’s warranty is meant as an offer by Diehl AKO
directly to the Warranted User on entering a warranty agreement
under the conditions laid down in this document. The warranty
contract is established directly and automatically between Diehl AKO
and the Warranted User at the moment of purchase of a Warranted
Product, if the Warranted User does not object to the establishment of
the warranty agreement, in writing to Diehl AKO within 2 (two) weeks
from the purchase date of a Warranted Product.
4. Coverage of the manufacturer’s warranty
The manufacturer’s warranty grants the Warranted User warranty
rights in addition to the Warranted User’s warranty rights granted by
the respective vendor. Warranty rights vis-à-vis the respective vendor
and statutory product liability rights are unaffected by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
5. Period and assertion of the manufacturer’s warranty
The manufacturer’s warranty applies to defects of the Warranted
Products which demonstrably occur between the beginning of the
twenty-fifth and the end of the sixtieth month after installation and
commissioning of a Warranted Product at the Warranted User’s
premises (Warranty Period). This Warranty Period ends not later than

 PLATINUM Inverter 13000 TL, 16000 TL, 19000 TL, 22000 TL
Manufacturers Warranty of Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co. KG
66 months after the manufacturing date of the Warranted Product, as
stated on the type plate of the Warranted Product. For Warranted
Products repaired or replaced by Diehl AKO, the manufacturer’s
warranty expires with the end of the original Warranty Period. Legal
and/or contractual warranty claims of any kind, which arise during a
statutory or contractual warranty period, can not be derived from this
manufacturer’s warranty.
Any claims based on the manufacturer’s warranty must be asserted
in writing by the Warranted User to Diehl AKO within the Warranty
Period. Such warranty claims can be submitted through an authorized
specialist retailer, wholesaler or specialist installation company, or
through MATRIX Power Systems GmbH.
6. Rights under the manufacturer’s warranty – Damage and costs
not covered
If a defect of the Warranted Product occurs during the Warranty
Period and if Diehl AKO is responsible for this defect and if this defect
impairs or reduces the functionality of the Warranted Product to a
significant extent, Diehl AKO will choose to carry out either free-of-
charge repairs or free-of-charge replacement of the Warranted
Products with a product that offers at least the same or the same type
of functionality and performance.
Such repairs or replacement will be carried out only at the Diehl AKO
factory. Transport to Diehl AKO must be in the original packaging or
other packaging that is at least of the same quality as the original
packaging. If the Warranted user requests repair or replacement at a
site other than the Diehl AKO factory, Diehl AKO can agree to this
request. In this case, however, the Warranted User will bear any
travel costs and additional labor costs according to DIEHL AKO
standard rates.
Any claims from the manufacturer’s warranty beyond free-of-charge
repair or free-of-charge replacement are ruled out, especially any
claims on compensation for defect-related capital damage, e.g. loss
of profit including compensation for lost power feeds, costs of
installation and de-installation, costs of fault diagnostics, recall costs
and interruption to production processes.
If no defect is found in the Warranted Product sent in for repair or
replacement, or if there is no claim based on the manufacturer’s
warranty for any other reason, Diehl AKO may demand from the
Warranted User an administration fee (flat rate per product) plus the
costs of transport back to the Warranted User.
Any claims based on this manufacturer’s warranty expire 6 months
after occurrence of the fault, but not later than 3 months after the end
of the Warranty Period.
