Some Safety Measures
Important Precautions
The output side of the AC wiring of Exide Inverterz should never be connected to
utility power or a DG set. This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit
survives this condition, it will shut down until connections are made.
Installation should ensure that the AC output of Exide Inverterz should not be
connected to AC input.
Note: Connecting the battery cables to the Exide Inverterz battery terminals
may cause spark, usually accompanied by a “snap”. This is normal, don’t let it
scare you.
Never disconnect battery cables while the Exide Inverterz is delivering power
or battery charger is operating. Always turn the switch off first.
General Precautions
•
Before installing, connecting any wiring or using the Exide Inverterz, read all instructions
of this instruction manual.
•
CAUTION
: Do not install or connect batteries to this unit unless instructed to do so.
Failure to comply with this instruction can cause damage or complete failure of the unit.
•
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of injury, use only deep-cycle lead acid batteries.
•
Do not expose the system to rain, snow or liquids of any type. Do not disassemble the
system; call EXIDE authorised service centre when service or repair is required. In
correct reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all the wiring from the system before
attempting any maintenance cleaning. Turning off the system will not reduce this risk
•
WARNNING:
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
•
Be extra cautious when working with metal tools on, or around batteries. The potential
exists to drop a tool and short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts resulting in
sparks that could cause an explosion
•
Do not leave batteries in discharge state for more than a day or two. They will undergo a
chemical process called sulfation which can permanently damage the battery. Also
batteries will self-discharge over a period of 3-6 months, so they should periodically
recharge even if they are not being used.
•
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Exide Inverterz should be connected to a
grounded, permanent wiring system.
