WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5. Be extra cautious so as to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a vehicle battery. Doing so
might cause the battery to spark or might short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may
cause an explosion.
6. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.
7. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, remove the affected clothing and wash the affected area
of your skin immediately with soap and water. If battery acid enters your eye, immediately flood the
eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical assistance immediately.
8. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery. This may cause the battery to explode.
9. Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in the case of a short circuit. A fuse must be
installed on the positive supply cable as close as practical to the battery. Failure to do so provides
inadequate protection against fire in the case of a short circuit. Only use high quality copper cable and
keep the cable length short, refer to section 2.2.4 for more information.
1. Upon receipt, examine the box for damage. If you have found any damage on the box please notify the
company you purchased this unit from.
2. Install the inverter in a well-ventilated area with reasonable clearance. Do not install the inverter in a
zero-clearance compartment or obstruct the ventilation openings. Doing so may result in the inverter
overheating and ultimately damage the inverter.
3. Depending on the user scenario, the AC output of the inverter may require a user installed breaker or
fuse. In an AC output hardwire application, the AC socket will not be provided. The inverter incorporates
AC short circuit protection.
4. Reverse Polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may damage the inverter permanently and
will void warranty.
5. Do not operate appliances that may feed power back into the inverter. Damage to the inverter may
occur as a result.
6. RCDs may be fitted by a licenced electrician in installations using these inverters. These inverters,
when installed according to the instructions in this manual, are categorised as EPB inverters. Neither
active, nor neutral is referenced to ground and/or chassis within the inverter. An RCD will not trip when
used with this inverter unless a (MEN) neutral to earth connection is implemented before the RCD.
External connection of such should be determined as appropriate or not by the licenced electrician.
7. Ensure that the frequency output of the inverter matches the frequency requirements of all attached to
the inverter. Attempting to use appliances that requires an AC frequency different to the inverter output
may result in damage to your appliances.
8. All RS Series Inverters are suitable for indoor use only.
