8. Do not disassemble the Trace Series Inverter/Charger. It contains no user-
serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service.
Attempting to service the Trace Series Inverter/Charger yourself will void
your warranty and may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal
capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
9. The Trace Series contains more than one live circuit (batteries and AC line).
Power may be present at more than one source or from more than one
location. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC
power from the Trace Series Inverter/Charger before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the Trace
Series Inverter/Charger. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
10. Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuits when installing or
working with the inverter, the batteries, or a PV array.
11. Several diagrams contained within this manual are basic in nature and are
included only to depict different installation options. All details may not be
shown, and as such, local electrical codes must still be referenced.

electrical codes relevant to your installation. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that the installation of the Trace Series complies with all
relevant electrical codes.

Do not install 120 volt AC stand-alone inverters onto 120/240 volt AC multi-branch
circuit wiring. This could pose a fire hazard due to an overloaded neutral return wire in
this configuration. See the Application Note titled “Multi-wire Branch Circuit Issues” on
the Xantrex website for additional information and possible solutions.
