Installation and wiring compliance
Installation and wiring must comply with the local and National Electrical Codes and must be done
by a certified electrician. Please follow these four steps:
1. Read all of the instructions and cautions in the manual before beginning the installation.
2. It is HIGHLY recommended to install a charge controller in order to charge your batteries.
It is dangerous for unregulated panels to be connected to battery banks.
3. Make sure all wire connections are secured; loose connections may cause sparks.
4. Wear appropriate clothing and safety gear including protective eyewear when performing
any electrical installation.
Preventing fire and explosion hazards
Working with electronic/electrical equipment may produce arcs or sparks. Thus, such equipment
should not be used in areas where there are flammable materials or gases requiring ignition
protected equipment. These areas may include spaces containing gasoline-powered machinery,
fuel tanks, and battery compartments.
Precautions when working with batteries
 Batteries contain very corrosive diluted sulfuric acid as electrolyte. Precautions should be
taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
 Batteries generate hydrogen and oxygen during charging, resulting in the evolution of an
explosive gas mixture.
