SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for 

Models CSI-75K-T480GL02-U, CSI-80K-T480GL02-U, CSI-90K-T480GL02-U and 

CSI-100K-T480GL02-U that shall be followed during installation and maintenance 

of the inverter.

Safety symbols used in this manual, which highlight potential safety risks and important safety 

information, are listed below:

WARNING

 

Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly 

followed, could result in serious injury or death.

NOTE

 

Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly 
followed, could result in damage to or the destruction of the inverter.

CAUTION, RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

 

Symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly 
followed, could result in electric shock

CAUTION, HOT SURFACE 

Symbol indicates safety instructions, which if not correctly 
followed, could result in burns.

2.2 General safety instructions

WARNING

 

Do not connect PV array positive (+) or negative (-) to ground – doing 

so could cause serious damage to the inverter.

WARNING

 

Electrical installations must be done in accordance with local and 

national electrical safety standards. 

●  Use the original box to repackage the inverter, seal with adhesive tape with the desiccant 

    inside the box. 

●  Store the inverter in a clean and dry place, free of dust and dirt. The storage temperature 

    must be between -40~158

°

F and humidity should be between 0 to 100%, 

    non-condensing. 

●  Do not stack more than two (2) inverters high on a single pallet. Do not stack more than 

    2 pallets high.

●  Keep the box(es) away from corrosive materials to avoid damage to the inverter enclosure.

●  Inspect the packaging regularly. If packing is damaged (wet, pest damages, etc.), repackage 

    the inverter immediately.

●  Store inverters on a flat, hard surface -- not inclined or upside down.

●  After 100 days of storage, the inverter and carton must be inspected for physical damage 

    before installing. If stored for more than 1 year, the inverter needs to be fully examined and 

    tested by qualified service or electrical personnel before using.

●  Restarting after a long period of non-use requires the equipment be inspected and, in some 

    cases, the removal of oxidation and dust that has settled inside the equipment will be required.

1.2.1 Storage

2. Important Safety Instruction

WARNING

 

To reduce the risk of fire, branch circuit over-current protective 

devices (OCPD) are required for circuits connected to the Inverter.

CAUTION 

The PV array (solar panels) supplies a DC voltage when exposed to light.

CAUTION

The inverter's surface temperature can reach up to 75

C (167

F). To avoid 

risk of burns, do not touch the surface when the inverter is operating. 
Inverter must be installed out of the reach of children.

WARNING

 

The inverter can only accept a PV array as a DC input. Using any other 

type of DC source could damage the inverter.
