Important: These notes describe things which are important for you to know, but not as serious as a caution or warning.

This Manual contains information for two models of the PV100S 100 kW Grid- Tied Photovoltaic Inverter. One model is designed to operate with a 208 Vac utility input, and the other model is designed to operate with a 480 Vac utility input.

•The model PV100S-208 100kW Grid-Tied Photovoltaic Inverter

(208 Vac input) will be referred to as the PV100S-208 when it is being referenced individually.

•The model PV100S-480 100kW Grid-Tied Photovoltaic Inverter

(480 Vac input) will be referred to as the PV100S-480 when it is being referenced individually.

•When the both models are being referenced together, they will be referred to as the PV100S.
