•  If any part of this product becomes damaged, remove and discard the entire unit, and replace with a new one.  

Failure to do so could result in fire, property damage, personal injury, electrocution, or death.

•  When disconnecting the inverter, allow 15 minutes for all electrical storage components to discharge before 

servicing any conductors in that circuit.

•  Do not install this equipment in wet conditions.  This could result in electrocution, personal injury, or death.

•  Be aware of and work away from power lines.  Contact with power lines could result in electrocution, personal 

injury, or death.

•  Do not install if the roof is wet, frosted, or covered by ice or snow.  

•  Whenever drilling into an attic space, ensure that no electrical wires, conduit or electrical components are 

on the other side.  Failure to note electrical equipment locations could lead to damage which could result in 

electrocution, personal injury or death.

•  When determining ambient operating temperature, system designer must take into account external sources of 

heat such as irradiance from the sun or the environmental conditions under which the product is installed such 

as under a PV module. Exceeding the temperature rating could cause electrical failure or arching that could result 

in property damage, fire, electrocution, personal injury or death.
 

 

 

 

CAUTIONS

•  Do not exceed the maximum wire sizes specified in this manual.  

•  Use only wire combinations specified in this manual.

protection, hard hats, safety harness and fall protection, etc.  Ensure you have proper training on how to use and 

install this equipment.  Follow all national and local regulations and best practices.  

•  The installation of this product involves working around high-voltage electrical equipment.  Follow applicable 

safety regulation and best practices to avoid creating an electrocution hazard.  

•  The installation of this product requires working on roofs.  Follow applicable safety regulations and best practices 

to avoid falling from the work area.  Take steps to prevent objects from falling off the roof.  Cordon off the area on

event of an accident.  

•  Remove all rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches or other metal equipment that could become energized while 

working with electrical conductors and equipment.

•  The maximum operating temperature of this equipment is s 75°C. NOTE: this includes temperature rise over 

ambient due to irradiance from the sun. Qualified system designer and Engineer is responsible for identifying 

maximum temperature based upon site conditions.
