Intended Use
The Xantrex GT100 E may only be used in connection with PV modules. It is not
suitable for any other application areas.
An initial operation (e.g. starting the intended operation) will only be allowed
when observing the EMC guideline (89/336/EWG).
The Xantrex GT100 E complies with the 73/23/EWG low voltage directive
requirements. The harmonized standards of the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160
in connection with EN 60439-1/DIN VDE 0660 part 500 and EN 60146/DIN VDE
0558 will be used for the inverters.

The terminals of the DC input may be energized if the PV arrays are energized. In
addition, allow 5 minutes for all capacitors within the main enclosure to discharge
after disconnecting the Xantrex GT100 E from AC and DC sources.
