This Guide is intended for anyone who needs to operate, configure, and troubleshoot the Conext XW+

Inverter/Charger. Certain configuration tasks should only be performed by qualified personnel in consultation with your

local utility and/or an authorized dealer. Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained

only by qualified personnel. Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel with

knowledge of batteries and their required precautions.

Qualified personnel have training, knowledge, and experience in:

• Installing electrical equipment

• Applying applicable installation codes

• Analyzing and reducing the hazards involved in performing electrical work

• Installing and configuring batteries

• Selecting and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E

or CSA Z462.

• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.

• Never operate energized with covers removed

• Energized from multiple sources. Before removing covers identify all sources, de-energize, lock-out, and tag-out

and wait 2 minutes for circuits to discharge

• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm all circuits are de-energized.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions must be

observed when working with batteries:

• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots.

• Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.

• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Battery Circuit Breakers must be installed according to the specifications and requirements specified by

Schneider Electric.

• Servicing of batteries must only be performed by qualified personnel and the required precautions. Keep

unqualified personnel away from batteries.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

1. Before using the inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, the batteries, and all

appropriate sections of this manual.

2. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or

injury to persons.

3. The inverter is designed to be permanently connected to your AC and DC electrical systems. The manufacturer

recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the local and

national electrical codes applicable in your jurisdiction.

4. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not

undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

5. Do not operate the inverter if it has been damaged in any way.

6. This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the inverter except where noted for

connecting wiring and cabling. See your warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the

unit yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is

disconnected.

7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the inverter before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning or working on any components connected to the inverter. Putting the unit in Standby

mode will not reduce this risk.

8. The inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the AC input ground.

9. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. This product is designed for indoor use only. Damp

environments will significantly shorten the life of this product and corrosion caused by dampness will not be

covered by the product warranty.

10. To reduce the chance of short-circuits, always use insulated tools when installing or working with this equipment.

11. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with electrical

equipment.
