IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions and cautionary markings on the FX, the batteries and all appropriate sections of this installation and user manual as well as other component manuals before using the system.

Be cautious around electricity, electrical components, and batteries. Shocks, burns, injury, and even death can occur if an installer comes in contact with electricity.

Install all components and wiring according to national and local electrical and building codes. This includes:

Submitting a plan to the local building department

Passing inspection

Requiring a licensed electrician to do the work when mandated

OutBack Power Systems cannot be responsible for system failure, damages, or injury resulting from improper installation of their products.

Use only the recommended DC and AC wire sizes or greater. Be sure all wires are in good condition.

Install the FX in a dry location, preferably indoors.

Install the FX in a shaded area out of direct sun light for best operation.

For installations where the FX may be exposed to water spray, a sealed FX must be used and mounted either with the base down (shelf mounting) or with the AC wiring compartment facing down (wall mounting).

If mounted with the base down, water cannot be allowed to accumulate around the FX’s base. There is a drainage system on the base of the FX to dispel condensation.

If submerged, water can enter this drain and cause failure.

The Vented FX (VFX) must be installed in a weather-proof enclosure or enclosed area.

It is not designed for exposure to water or excessive wind-blown dust and debris.

INITIAL INSPECTION

Your FX is stoutly packaged for secure shipping. Please inspect the packaging and component for damage prior to intallation.
