2.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

 
 

Solar  power  systems  are  safe  when  operating  correctly,  however,  there  are  potentially  dangerous  hazards 
associated with some system components. 
 
Please read the following warnings before operating the system. 

 
 

2.1  Warnings 

 

 

DC Electrical 

The storage battery system can contain potentially lethal DC voltages and the casing should not be 
opened by anyone other than a registered electrician.  

 
Electrical Wiring 

This  installation  has  been  installed  in  accordance  with  AS/NZS  wiring  standards  by  a  registered 
electrician. Any unauthorised altering of the wiring presents the risk of high voltages being exposed, 
and the risk of death or serious injury to users of the property where the system is installed. 

 
3.0 ACTIONS IN CASE OF SYSTEM FAILURE 

 

In an emergency, you can shut  down the  battery system, if it is safe to do so, as outlined in Section 4.0. For other issues, 
please refer to Section 7

.0 on ‘System Issues’.

 

 

4.0 START-UP AND SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES 

 
Under normal circumstances, the system should not need any intervention. In an emergency, or should your electrician need 
to work on wiring in the house, the system may need to be shut-down. The following procedures should be followed. 
 

4.1   System shut-down procedure 

 
1. Turn OFF the AC SOLAR SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH which is labelled and located in the switchboard.  
 

    Do not open the battery system enclosure to isolate or disconnect the batteries. 
 

The battery system will still be energised internally by the batteries.
