1.3 Safety Instructions
1.
Follow local installation codes. Make sure to adhere to all applicable national and local electrical codes
during installation. Only qualified personnel should install or replace Chilicon Power microinverters.
2.
No DIY repairs. Users must never attempt to repair or modify the Chilicon Power microinverters themselves. If
the microinverter fails to operate, contact Chilicon Power customer service for repair or replacement. Tampering
with or opening the hardware will void the warranty.
3.
Read all instructions. Read all of the instructions and cautionary notes in this manual and referenced
supporting documents before installing the hardware.
4.
Install safely. Do not connect the system to the AC power grid until the conclusion of the assembly process
and disconnect the AC power grid connection
first
before disconnecting the PV module from the Chilicon
microinverter or the microinverters from the AC trunk cable.
5.
Microinverters can get hot. The case of the Chilicon microinverter acts as a heat sink. Under normal
operating conditions, the case temperature is approximately 36 °F (20°C) above ambient. However, under
extreme conditions the case temperature can reach 149°F (65°C) or more. Chilicon therefore recommends
wearing gloves when working with microinverters.
