I've probably got to juggle this around but don't see yet how to do it.

Die Verbindung zu den Sicherheitseinrichtungen der Solaranlage duerfen nicht absperrbar sein!

The connexion to the safety equipment of the solar system may not be absperrbar!

Yes, you have changed the meaning - the gist is "it must not be possible to close...", not "it must always remain open..."
Non-ProZ.com Apr 15, 2005:
have I changed the meaning by changing the sentence to: The connection to the solar system safety equipment must always remain open.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 14, 2005:
ja Elimar sieht aus wie ein Schreibfehler
Elimar Orlopp Apr 14, 2005:
Bist du sicher, dass dies der deutsche Satz ist? Es m�sste entweder plural "VerbindugEN" oder singular "darf" hei�en.

Cilian, this is directly before the text in question Safety valve:
The safety valve activates at a pressure above 6 bar to prevent damages to the individual components through excess pressure.
If the solar systems are at a standstill the system pressure begins to climb.
If the pressure climbs above the rated pressure of the safety valve, the safety valve begins to discharge fluid. Place a container under the discharge line of the safety value to collect this fluid. After the system cools down the pressure is to be examined and any fluid refilled:

to close (off)

More context might help determine whether the "Verbindung" could be the means of getting somewhere, i.e. a "road" or even "access"

If so, then sth. like "it must not be possible to close (off) the road/path to the..." or "... to prevent access to the..."

Sorry, I think I might have misled you with my final comment - I wanted to say OK, IN VIEW OF THE ADDED CONTEXT MY SUGGESTION IS WRONG!

If you wish to regrade and choose Manuela\'s answer, it\'s okay by me (now you just need to contact a moderator). Sorry for any confusion.

lockable

...must not be lockable, rather than may not be..
Peer comment(s):
agree Elimar Orlopp : Imo that is the meaning. The POSSIBILITY to close it off must not be.
