GENERAL INFORMATION
Equipment Safety
WARNING!
Lethal Voltage
Review the system conguration to identify all possible
sources of energy. Ensure ALL sources of power are
disconnected before performing any installation or
maintenance on this equipment. Conrm that the terminals
are de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for
a minimum 1000 VAC and 1000 VDC) to verify the de-
energized condition.
Do not perform any servicing other than that specied in the
installation instructions unless qualied to do so, or have been
instructed to do so by Carmanah Technologies Technical
Support personnel.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the DC input and AC
input of the inverter at least 5 minutes before performing any
installation or maintenance.
Do not tighten the AC and DC terminals or pull on the AC and
DC wiring when the inverter is running.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Do not keep combustible or ammable materials in the same
room with the equipment. Some products contain relays with
moving parts and are not ignition-protected.
Ensure AC, DC, and ground cable sizes conform to local
codes. See product manuals for minimum size requirements.
Ensure all conductors are in good condition.
Do not operate the unit with damaged or substandard cabling.
CAUTION!
Equipment Damage
When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery
terminals, ensure the proper polarity is observed. Connecting
the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment
and void the product warranty.
Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify
that no tools or equipment have been inadvertently left
behind.
Keep all vents clear of obstructions that can prevent proper air
ow around, or through, the unit.
CAUTION!
Equipment Damage
Static electricity may damage electronic components. Take
appropriate steps to prevent such damage to the inverter;
otherwise the warranty may be annulled.
