1.1 In case of emergency
In all cases:
If safe to do so, switch off the AC breakers (external to the system) for the system.
Contact the fire department or other required emergency response team.
Evacuate the area, and if applicable, follow your emergency evacuation plan if others are in proximity to the installed location.
In case of fire:
When safe, use a fire extinguisher suitable for use; including A, B, and C dry chemical fire extinguishers or carbon dioxide
extinguishers. Do not use type D extinguishers.
In case of flooding:
Stay out of water if any part of the system or wiring is submerged.
Do not attempt to operate batteries that have been submerged in water even after they have been dried.
In case of unusual noise, smell or smoke:
If safe to do so, ventilate the area.
In case of weather alerts including tornado, hurricane or potentially wind-damaging risk:
The system is capable of automatically generating emergency backup power on loss of grid, however, in the case where winds are
potentially threatening to your building structure and safety, it is recommended to shut down your system in advance of, and for the
duration of, the extreme weather event, and to return to operation only after it appears safe to do so.
