Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - DO NOT DISCARD

This manual contains important safety instructions for the PV100S that must be followed during installation and maintenance procedures.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

Read and keep this Operation and Maintenance Manual for future reference.

Before installing PV100S (either model), read all instructions, cautionary markings, and all other appropriate sections of this manual. Failure to adhere to these warnings could result in severe shock or possible death. Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent accidents.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

The PV100S enclosures contain exposed high voltage conductors. The enclosure doors should remain closed with the latches tightened, except during maintenance or testing. These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel who meet all local and state code requirements for licensing and training for the installation of Electrical Power Systems with AC and DC voltage to 600 volts. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the installation instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Do not open the cabinet doors if extreme moisture is present (rain or heavy dew).

WARNING: Lethal Voltage

In order to remove all sources of voltage from the PV100S, the incoming power must be de-energized at the source. This may be done at the main utility circuit breaker and by opening the AC Disconnect and the DC Disconnect Switches on the PV100S. Review the system configuration to determine all of the possible sources of energy. In addition, allow 5 minutes for the DC bus capacitors, located on the ceiling of the cabinet, to discharge after removing power.
