This manual covers only the eTower. Please refer to the manuals specific to the other ranges 

for help with those models.   
The eTower voltage is 52V nominal (to suit so called “48V” systems). This higher nominal 

voltage of 52V (compared to 48V nominal batteries) offers superior performance and 

efficiency owing to lower DC currents in the battery and in the inverter.
