4.2  Pre-Installation Inspection Steps

Before placing and installing the inverter, it should be inspected to identify possible 
external and internal shipping damage. If a problem is identified during any of these 
inspection steps please contact PV Powered’s Customer Service and Technical Support at 
1-877-312-3832, or email [email protected].

Step 1: External Inspection

Inspect the shipping materials and inverter for any cosmetic or structural damage. 
Specifically look for any structural damage or crushing of the base and doors. Confirm all 
doors open freely and easily.

Step 2: Rear Magnetics Compartment

1.. Remove.the.large.cover.plates.on.the.back.of.the.inverter,.accessing.the.magnetics..
2.. Inspect.all.nine.connections.including.the.following:

•. Three.connections.into.the.inductor
•. Three.from.the.inductor.to.the.transformer
•. Three.exiting.the.transformer

For each connection check the integrity of the busbar connections and terminals.
