WARNING: Lethal Voltage
Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy.
Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any
installation or maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are
de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 Vac and
1000 Vdc) to verify the de-energized condition.
Do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the installation
instructions unless qualified to do so and have been instructed to do so by
OutBack Power Technologies Technical Support personnel.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Internal parts can become hot during operation. Do not remove the cover
during operation or touch any internal parts. Be sure to allow them sufficient
time to cool down before attempting to performance any maintenance.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
 Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 12 feet (3.7 m) of
the equipment.
 Use only the recommended cable sizes (or greater) for AC and DC
conductors in compliance with local codes. For cable sizes, see the
installation manual for the inverter, charge controller, or other devices
used with this product. Ensure all conductors are in good condition. Do
not operate the unit with damaged or substandard cabling.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When connecting cables from the GSLC to the battery terminals, ensure the
proper polarity is observed. Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or
destroy the equipment and void the product warranty.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no tools or
equipment have been inadvertently left behind.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Photovoltaic (PV) arrays can be energized with minimal ambient light available.
Therefore to ensure a safe disconnect from the system, be sure to install a PV
disconnect, breaker, or accessible fuse box (depending on local code
requirements).
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
PV Arrays must be wired with correct polarity (positive-to-positive, negative-to-
negative). Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the
equipment.
