• All electrical work must be done in accordance with local, national, and/or international electrical codes.
• Before installing or using this device, read all instructions and cautionary markings located in the manual, and
on the inverter, the batteries, and the PV array.
• Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type. This product is designed only for indoor mounting.
• To reduce the chance of short-circuits when installing or working with the inverter, the batteries, or the PV
array, use insulated tools.
• Remove all jewelry while installing this system. This will greatly reduce the chance of accidental exposure to
live circuits.
• The inverter contains more than one live circuit (batteries and AC line). Power may be present at more than
one source.
• This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair this unit.
• Do not install 120 volt AC stand-alone inverters onto 120/240 volt AC multi-branch circuit wiring. This could
pose a fire hazard due to an overloaded neutral return wire in this configuration.
• When stacking inverters, always connect the chassis of each inverter together using the chassis ground lug;
otherwise, a hazardous voltage may be present between each chassis.
