Risks
General Safety Precautions
1. When installing the Xantrex GT250 use only components recommended or
sold by Schneider Electric. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, injury to persons, and will void the warranty.
2. Do not attempt to operate the Xantrex GT250 if it has been dropped, or
received more than cosmetic damage during transport or shipping. If the
Xantrex GT250 is damaged, or suspected to be damaged, see the Warranty
section of this manual.
3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, lock out, and tag out the Xantrex
GT250 before attempting any maintenance, service, or cleaning.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
The IGBT module may explode in the event of a major malfunction.
Do not operate the inverter with the doors open.
WARNING: Crush Hazard
The inverters have a very high balance point and can easily topple down. Only
move while exercising care.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Inverters contain components that become hot during normal operation. Do not
touch.
CAUTION
The inverters have a supply air and exhaust air area, which must remain
unobstructed. The device can overheat and be destroyed if the installation signs
are not adhered to.
CAUTION
Inverter electronics can be destroyed when touched and when electrostatically
charged. Discharge via earth potential before touching and wear appropriate
protective gear.
CAUTION
No connections or disconnections are to be made at the terminal strips or
internal connectors during operation. Turn the unit off before performing any
terminal work; wait five minutes for the capacitors to discharge and recheck to
ensure internal components are no longer energized.
