IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Safety Instructions 

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY PRODUCTS OR 

DEVICES & KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 

This manual contains important instructions for the installation and maintenance 

of G640 micro inverters. Before installing, please read these safety instructions 

carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as 

well as the safety instructions listed below. 

 

Safety Symbols 

To reduce the risk of injury and to ensure the continued safe operation of this 

product, the following safety instructions and warnings are marked in this 

manual. 

 

WARNING 

This indicates the risk of electric 

shock. The presence of high 

voltage levels may constitute a 

risk of injury or death to users and/or installers. 

CAUTION 

This indicates important 

information where failure to 

comply may result in safety 

hazards or cause damage to this product.

 

 

Safety Instructions 

 

Read all instructions and cautionary marks in the manual carefully before 

starting the installation. 

 

Do not attempt to repair this product; it does not contain user-serviceable 

parts. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by authorized 

service personnel. 

 

Do not tamper with or open this product. Opening this product may result in 

electric shock. 

 

Perform  all electrical installations in accordance with all applicable local 

electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. 

 

Only qualified electrical personnel should perform the electrical installation and 

wiring of this product. 

 

Be aware that even without an external voltage source connected, the micro 

inverter may contain high voltages and there is a risk of electrical shock. 

 

Connect the micro inverter to the utility grid only after receiving prior approval 

from the electrical utility company. 

 

The temperature of the heat sinks outside of the device can reach over 85

°

C in 

normal operation. To  reduce risk of burns, use caution when working with 

micro inverters. 

 

Do not disconnect the DC power source from the micro inverter without  first 

disconnecting the AC power source. Both AC and DC power sources must be 

disconnected before servicing. Be aware that DC power/voltage is generated 

when the photovoltaic array is exposed to light. 

 

Switch off the circuit breakers before installation and wirings. 

 

For the safety of installation, remove all conductive jewelry or equipment 

during the installation or service of the device parts, connector and/or wiring. 

 

Do not stand on a wet location while doing installation and wirings. Enclose the 

outer covering well before switch on the circuit breakers. 

 

The micro inverters should be installed as instructed in this manual. Failure to 

comply with these  precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this 

manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of 

the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to 

comply with these requirements. 

 

When a GFDI fault (Ground fault) occurs, the LED will flash in red light. Please 

refer to the POST-INSTALLATION section for more introductions. 

Surge Suppression 

Lightning does not actually need to strike the equipment or building where the 

PV system is installed to cause damage. Often, a strike nearby will induce voltage 

spikes in the electrical grid that can damage equipment. Artificial spikes such as 

those induced by electric motors starting up can also cause damages to the 

equipment. 

 

The  micro inverters have integrated  surge protection  built-in; however, if the 

surge has sufficient  energy, the built-in protection in  the device would be 

exceeded and the device could potentially be damaged. Therefore, external surge 

protection MUST be installed as part of any solar installation.   

 

WARNING

 

 

When installing a surge protection device (SPD), one MUST follow the original 

manufacturer’s instructions on how to install the SPD properly. Incorrect 

installation of the SPD may still cause damages to the micro inverters. If the 

installation site is known for unstable or heavy surges, then it is the 

responsibility of the installer to make sure the SPD chosen can adequately 

protect the micro inverters.
