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

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.
