Safety Information
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•
•
Do not expose the
$3
to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water.
This inverter/charger is designed for marine applications only when
additional drip protection is installed in certain orientations. See
“Mounting Orientations” on page 24 for more information.
Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, has cracks or openings in the enclosure including if the
AC terminal cover has been lost, damaged, or will not close, or
otherwise damaged in any other way.
•
Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. Internal capacitors remain
charged after all power is disconnected.
•
Disconnect both AC and DC power from the inverter/charger before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits
connected to the inverter/charger. The
INVERTER ENABLE
button
on the front panel does not function like a power switch that energizes
or de-energizes the unit arbitrarily. When AC and DC power sources
are connected and present, the unit is always energized.
•
Do not operate the inverter/charger with damaged or substandard
wiring. Make sure that all wiring is in good condition and is not
undersized.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
FIRE AND BURN HAZARD
•
Do not cover or obstruct the air intake vent openings and/or install in
a zero-clearance compartment.
•
Do not use transformerless battery chargers in conjunction with the
inverter/charger due to overheating.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
•
Charge only properly rated (such as 12 V) lead-acid (GEL, AGM,
Flooded, or lead-calcium) rechargeable batteries because other
battery types may explode.
•
Do not work in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. See note #1.
•
Do not install and/or operate in compartments containing flammable
materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
See notes #2 and #3.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
