ARNINGS AND NOTES

2.4.1 General

This manual is an integral part of the device and must be kept available for the operator and installer. It must
remain close to the installation so that it may be consulted at any time.
The parameter table available at the end of the manual (p. 35) must be kept up to date in the event of modification of
the parameters by the operator or installer. The person in charge of installation and commissioning must be wholly
familiar with the precautionary measures and the local applicable regulations.
When the WPC is running, it generates voltage that can be potentially lethal. Work on or close to the
installation must only be carried out by thoroughly trained and qualified personnel. Do not attempt to carry
out ongoing maintenance of this product yourself. The WPC or the generator connected to it may start up
automatically under certain predetermined conditions.
When working on the electrical installation, it is important to be certain that the source of DC voltage coming
from the battery as well as the source of AC voltage coming from a generator or grid have been disconnected
from the electrical installation.
Even when the WPC has been disconnected from the supply sources (AC and DC), a dangerous voltage may
remain at the outputs. To eliminate this risk you must switch the WPC OFF using the ON/OFF button (1).
After 10 seconds the electronics is discharged and intervention may take place without any danger.
All elements connected to the WPC must comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
Persons not holding written authorisation from WhisperPower are not permitted to proceed with any change,
modification or repairs that may be required. Only original parts may be used for authorised modifications or
replacements.
This manual contains important safety information. Read the safety and working instructions carefully before using the
WPC. Adhere to all the warnings given on the device as well as in the manual, by following all the instructions with
regard to operation and use.
The WPC is only designed for indoor use and must under no circumstances be subjected to rain, snow or other humid
or dusty conditions.
The maximum specifications of the device shown on the type plate, as at fig. 1b, must be adhered to.
In the event of use in motorised vehicles, the WPC must be protected from dust, splash water and any other humid
condition. It must also be protected from vibration by installing absorbent parts like rubber moutings.
The WPC can be installed at altitudes up to 3000m. For installations at higher altitudes, please contact
WhisperPower. The WPC is in overvoltage category III, which indicates that it can be installed directly after
the protection device at the entrance of a building.
