WARNING

• All electrical work should be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes ANSI/NFPA70.

• Connecting the solar power conditioner to the grid should only be done after receiving prior approval from the power

company and performed only by a Sharp certified installer.

CAUTION

• The solar power conditioner is approximately 57 lbs. in weight. To avoid the damage of the solar power conditioner or the

installer, do not drop the solar power conditioner.

• To avoid the risk of fire and the malfunction of the solar power conditioner, the open circuit voltage of each string should

be lower than 350V and the short circuit current of each string should be lower than 10A.

NOTE

• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that the solar power conditioner be connected to a dedicated circuit, and no

other outlets or device may be connected to this circuit. (See NEC section 690-64(b)(1)). The NEC also imposes

limitations on the size of the inverter and the manner in with it is connected to the grid. See NEC Section 690-64(b)(2).

• When the PV array is exposed to light, it supplies a DC voltage to this equipment.
