Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions as required by UL and CSA standards for inverters used in residential applications. Read and keep this

Installation Guide for future reference.

1.Before using the inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this manual.

2.Use of accessories not recommended or sold by Xantrex Technology Inc. may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

3.The inverter is designed to be permanently connected to your AC and DC electrical systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the local and national electrical codes applicable in your jurisdiction.

4.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

5.Do not operate the inverter if it has been damaged in any way. If the unit is damaged, see the Warranty and Product Information section at the end of this manual.

6.This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the inverter except where noted for connecting wiring and cabling. See the Warranty Section in the XW Inverter/Charger Operation Guide and other component manuals for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.

7.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any components connected to the inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

8.The inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the AC input ground.

9.Do not expose this unit to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. This product is designed for indoor use only. Damp environments will significantly shorten the life of this product and corrosion caused by dampness will not be covered by the product warranty.

10.To reduce the chance of short-circuits, always use insulated tools when installing or working with this equipment.

11.Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries.
