Safety and installation guidelines
•
Protect your Solar Eclipse from rain, snow, spray, moisture, excessive soiling and condensation
situations. In order to reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation holes. Do not
install the Solar Eclipse in a room without ventilation because it could overheat.
•
In case of fire, you must use a fire extinguisher suitable for electrical equipment.
•
Short-circuiting the device or reversing the polarity will cause serious damage to batteries, Solar
Eclipse and wiring. The fuses are located between the batteries and the Solar Eclipse are not able to
avoid the damage caused by the reversal of the polarity, damage that will void the warranty.
•
Protect the DC wiring with a fuse according to the guidelines of this manual.
•
Connection and protection must be carried out in accordance with local regulations.
•
Do not work on Solar Eclipse nor on the system if they are still connected to a power source. Allow
only qualified electricians to carry out modifications to the electrical system.
•
Check the wiring and connections at least once a year. Defects such as loose connections, burnt
wiring etc. must be corrected immediately.

2.5
Batteries use warning
•
Remember that despite the battery pack voltage is 48 V, when the Solar Eclipse is connected to an
insulation transformerless inverter, the battery pack has the same voltage of the power grid and it
is potentially dangerous for the human body!
•
In the case of liquid electrolyte batteries it is necessary to place the batteries in a well ventilated
room and not used for residential.
•
Do not short circuit the batteries as this could cause an explosion and fire risk.
•
Over-discharge of the batteries and / or high charging voltages can cause serious damage to the
batteries. Do not discharge / charge batteries beyond the limits recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
The installation of the batteries and the Solar Eclipse adjustments are the sole responsibility of
authorized personnel.
