2.Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, over-current protective devices (OCPD) are
required for circuits connected to the Inverter.
The DC OCPD shall be installed per local requirements. All photovoltaic source
and output circuit conductors shall have disconnects that comply with the NEC
Article 690, Part II. All Canadian Solar single phase inverters feature an
integrated DC switch.
CAUTION:
Risk of electric shock. Do not remove cover. There is no user serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified and accredited service technicians.
CAUTION:
The PV array (Solar panels) supplies a DC voltage when they are exposed to
sunlight.
CAUTION:
Risk of electric shock from energy stored in capacitors of the Inverter. Do not
remove cover for 5 minutes after disconnecting all power sources(service technician
only). Warranty may be voided if the cover is removed without unauthorized .
CAUTION:
The surface temperature of the inverter can reach up to 75℃ (167 F).
To avoid risk of burns, do not touch the surface of the inverter while it's operating.
Inverter must be installed out of the reach of children.
PV module used with inverter must have an IEC 61730 Class A rating.

2.3 Notice For Use

The inverter has been constructed according to the applicable safety and technical
guidelines. Use the inverter in installations that meet the following specifications ONLY:
1. Permanent installation is required.
2. The electrical installation must meet all the applicable regulations and standards.
3. The inverter must be installed according to the instructions stated in this manual.
4. The inverter must be installed according to the correct technical specifications.
5. To startup the inverter, the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) must be switched on, before
the solar panel's DC isolator shall be switched on. To stop the inverter, the Grid Supply
Main Switch (AC) must be switched off before the solar panel's DC isolator shall be
switched off.
