Inverter Safety
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy. Ensure
ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or
maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using
a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 Vac and 1000 Vdc) to verify the de-
energized condition.
Do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the installation
instructions unless qualified to do so, or have been instructed to do so by OutBack
Power Technologies Technical Support personnel.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Internal parts can become hot during operation. Do not remove the cover during
operation or touch any internal parts. Be sure to allow sufficient time for internal parts
to cool down before attempting to perform any maintenance.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 12 feet (3.7 m) of
the equipment.
This product contains relays with moving parts and is not ignition-protected.
Ensure AC, DC, and ground cable sizes conform to local codes. See pages 24
through 26 for minimum size requirements. Ensure all conductors are in good
condition. Do not operate the unit with damaged or substandard cabling.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery terminals, ensure the proper
polarity is observed. Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the
equipment and void the product warranty.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no tools or
equipment have been inadvertently left behind.
Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced. Keep all vents clear of
obstructions that can prevent proper air flow around, or through, the unit.
Sensitive electronics inside the equipment can be destroyed by static electricity. Be
sure to discharge any static electricity before touching the equipment and wear
appropriate protective gear.
