WARNING: Shock Hazard

Disengaging the main enclosure door interlock switch does NOT remove all hazardous voltages from inside the inverter. Before attempting to service the PV225S, follow the de-energize Lockout and Tag procedure on page 5–3.

On/Off Switch

The PV225S incorporates a maintained position ON/OFF Switch (S3) located on the front door of the main enclosure. Under normal conditions, the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Turning the switch to the OFF position will initiate an immediate controlled shutdown of the PV225S and open both the main AC and DC contactors within the unit. The main AC and DC contactors cannot be closed unless the switch is in the ON position. The PV225S is prevented from being restarted until the ON/OFF switch is turned back to the ON position.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

Turning the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position does NOT remove all hazardous voltages from inside the inverter. Before attempting to service the PV225S, follow the de-energize Lockout and Tag procedure on page 5–3.
