WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Do not disassemble the inverter - the internal circuitry contains hazardous
voltages. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in electric shock or fire and could void the
unit warranty.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, liquid or dust. Doing so may
result in damage to the inverter or other appliances installed in the system or result in electric shock or
fire.
Risk of electrical shock. Operation of the inverter without a proper ground connection may result in an
electrical safety hazard. Ensure proper ground connection is made during installation. For fixed and/or
transportable (vehicle) installations, install according to appropriate AS/NZS standard.
Risk of electrical shock. Before proceeding, carefully check that the inverter is not connected to any
batteries and that all cables are disconnected from any electrical sources.
Do not connect the output terminals of the inverter to an incoming AC source.
CAUTION
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have been
instructed on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard cabling. Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size
could result in harm to the installer or user and/or damage to the inverter or other appliances installed in
the system. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse sizes are used when
installing this inverter. Refer to Section 3.1 (page 14) for more information.
Ensure recommended torque values are observed and the DC Input connections to the Inverter are tight
(torque to 11.7–13 Nm (9–10 ft-lbs)). Any loose connections could result in overheating and can be a
potential hazard.
