Operator Interface Controls
The Xantrex inverter comes in a set of 3 enclosures to house the electronics
described above. The left 1-door section is the AC interface enclosure (+H0).
The center 2-door section is the inverter enclosure (+H1). The right 1-door
section is the DC interface enclosure (+H2). The 3 enclosures are constructed
and delivered as one complete assembly.
Operator interface controls are located on the front door of the main inverter
enclosure. These controls include an Emergency (
E-STOP) pushbutton, a 3
(stand-by/power-on) switch (called
ON/OFF on older models), a 4-line display and
a keypad called the universal frontpanel control unit (UFCU).

WARNING: Multiple sources with risk of electric shock,
explosion, and arc flash
The Xantrex inverter is energized from the PV array, from the AC grid, and from an
auxiliary AC source (backed up with a Xantrex UPS for Xantrex GT500 E &
Xantrex GT630 E units with low-voltage ride-through capability). All 3 sources
(4 including a Xantrex UPS) must be disconnected, locked-out and tagged-out,
and all circuits tested to verify that the inverter is fully de-energized, according to
the procedure on page viii, before servicing or maintenance. Opening the AC
and DC disconnect switches on the inverter does not remove all power from the
inverter. Wait 20 minutes for the DC bus capacitors, located within the cabinet, to
discharge after removing power.
