2.0 INSTALLATION
PRE-INSTALLATION
The GTI is only designed to work with the SW4024, SW4048 and SW5548
models that have revision 4.2 (or higher) software. Prior to installing the GTI,
ensure that you have the appropriate model, the proper level of software and the
inverter has the communication cable located within.
See Figure 2-6 for the location of this cable.
WARNING: THE CRITICAL LOADS ARE NOW
POWERED THROUGH THE GTI; THESE LOADS
WILL NOT BE POWERED IF THE SW INVERTER OR
THE GTI ARE OFF OR DISCONNECTED. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT AN EXTERNAL BYPASS
SWITCH/BREAKER BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE
GRID AND THE CRITICAL LOAD-PANEL. THIS
SWITCH, WHEN ENGAGED, WILL ALLOW THE
GRID TO DIRECTLY POWER THE LOADS WHILE
THE GTI OR SW INVERTER IS OFF OR
DISCONNECTED. SEE FIGURE 2-9 FOR AN
EXAMPLE OF THIS RELAY IN A XANTREX POWER
PANEL.
