This manual is for use by qualified personnel only.
Unpacking the Xantrex GT500
To unpack the Xantrex GT500 (see Figure 3-1 on page 3–4):
1. Remove the wood cap from the inverter assembly, and remove the plastic
wrapping material surrounding both assemblies.
2. Remove and save the throat connection kit and hardware located in the box
behind the inverter assembly.
3. When ready to lift the assemblies off the shipping pallet, remove the anchor
hardware that attaches to the shipping pallet for each assembly:
• For the transformer assembly, access all of the anchor hardware from the
outside of the assembly.
• For the inverter assembly, access the two anchor bolts on the throat side
from the outside of the assembly. Access the two anchor bolts on the far
right side by opening the far right door (see “Opening or Closing Access
Doors” on page 3–17), removing the DC barrier (see “To remove the DC
barrier:” on page 3–25), and then removing the cable gland plates (see
Figure 3-2 on page 3–4). Set the DC barrier, cable gland plates, and their
associated hardware aside.
4. Discard the anchor hardware used to secure the assemblies to the shipping
pallets. The anchor hardware cannot be re-used to mount the inverter.
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Do not discard, misplace, or damage the DC barrier, cable gland plates, and
associated hardware removed in step 3. The DC barrier is a required part that
helps protect installers from accidentally touching live electrical circuits, and it
must be replaced before energizing any circuits.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
All Xantrex GT500s are thoroughly checked before they are packaged and
shipped. Although they are shipped in sturdy packaging, damage can still
occur during shipping and delivery. It is important to carefully inspect the
shipping container and contents prior to installation. If you detect any external
damage after unpacking, report the damage immediately to the seller and
shipping company that delivered the Xantrex GT500. If it becomes necessary
to return the Xantrex GT500, use the original packing material.
