Read and keep this Planning and Installation Manual for future reference. Before
using the Xantrex GT100 E, read all instructions, cautionary markings, and all
other appropriate sections of this manual. Failure to adhere to these warnings
could result in severe shock or possible death. Exercise extreme caution at all

WARNING: Shock hazard
The Xantrex GT100 E enclosures contain exposed high-voltage conductors. The
enclosure doors should remain closed with the latches tightened, except during
installation, maintenance or testing. These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified personnel who meet all code requirements for licensing and training for
the installation of Electrical Power Systems with AC and DC voltage to 650 volts.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
specified in the installation instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Do not
open the cabinet doors if extreme moisture is present (rain or heavy dew).
WARNING: Lethal voltage
In order to remove all sources of voltage from the Xantrex GT100 E, the incoming
power must be de-energized at the source. This may be done at the main utility
circuit breaker and by opening the AC disconnect switch on the Xantrex GT100
E. Review the system configuration to determine all of the possible sources of
energy. In addition, the source of the Auxiliary Control Power must be de-
energized plus allow 20 minutes for the DC bus capacitors, located within the
cabinet, to discharge after removing power.
WARNING: Amputation hazard
The inverters contain integrated ventilators including rotating ventilator wheels.
Do not place fingers in ventilator.
