DANGER
HAZARD OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E or CSA Z462.
• Equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
• Equipment may be energized from multiple sources. Never operate equipment energized with covers removed.
• In case of fire, use only a Class ABC type (dry chemical) fire extinguisher. Water can be a dangerous extinguishing medium for energized equipment
because of the risk of electrical shock.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm all circuits are de-energized.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to flames.
• Do not attempt to open or dismantle the lithium-ion battery. If the battery is damaged, do not touch the corrosive electrolyte or powder. In case battery
content comes in contact with skin or eyes, immediately flush the affected area with large amount of clean water and seek medical help.
• Upon disposal, do not crush, puncture, drop, disassemble, dispose of in fire, or similar actions.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
HAZARD OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, BURN, OR PERSONAL INJURY
• Always use the Xantrex Battery with the BMS. Never bypass the BMS. The BMS must always be connected to the lithium-ion battery and in the circuit
for proper operation and safety.
• Do not connect other battery types to the system DC load or the system DC bus.
• Do not expose any of the equipment to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. Products are designed for indoor use only.
• Do not operate the battery or other equipment with damaged or substandard wiring.
• Do not replace the battery fuses or any other fuses in the system by yourself.
• Do not obstruct the air ventilation openings on the system devices. Do not install or operate any of the system devices in compartment containing
flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
• When the lithium-ion battery becomes damaged, it can release harmful gases. In such a case, ventilate the area whenever possible but evacuate the
vicinity immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Use the right tools for the job. Use of improper tools may result in damage to equipment and personal injury.
• Do not lift heavy equipment by yourself. Use two or more people to lift and mount heavy equipment such as the inverter and battery. Use proper lifting
techniques during installation to prevent injury and equipment damage.
• Mount and fasten all devices securely according to their installation guides.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment and may void the warranty.
