I.III Safety Warnings and Cautions

This product is only to be installed by qualified personnel. These installation and service instructions are for qualified
personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, injury or death, all wiring and connection must be performed by
qualified personnel. Do not perform any installation or service other than that to which you are qualified to perform.
Lethal voltages are present during the installation, operation and service of this equipment. Proper
precautions must be taken at all times to ensure the safety of the service personnel.
At all times follow state and federal occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) guidelines and regulations.
Ensure the electrical installation is in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI, NFPA 70, all local
electrical codes, and with the authority having jurisdiction. If there are any contradictions between the NEC and this
document, follow the NEC requirements.
WARNINGS
• Ensure all electrical conductors are at zero voltage potential before installing or servicing this unit.
• Never break contact on a circuit without using the appropriate disconnect device.
• Follow established lockout-tagout procedures for all electrical conductors prior to servicing.
• Photovoltaic systems produce potentially lethal electrical energy when exposed to light. Use all appropriate
procedures to de-energize the photovoltaic system and the conductors leaving the system prior to service.
• Ensure all wires are in good service condition. Nicked, pinched, or damaged wires can lead to electrocution or
cause a fire.
• Do not use wire connection devices other than those supplied with this equipment. Using other non-certified
connection devices could create a shock or fire hazard.
• Use all appropriate electrical safety equipment as defined by OSHA or by the local or national governing safety
body for servicing and installing high voltage products.
• Wear safety equipment rated for a minimum of 600V or as required for the specific site conditions.
• Disconnect all conductors from the array prior to making or breaking connections within this product or within
any other point of the circuit.
• Activating the AC and/or DC disconnect switch within a circuit does not shut off potential electrical energy or
voltage from the photovoltaic panels. Ensure the photovoltaic array is disconnected and there is zero voltage
potential on the conductors being installed before servicing this product.
• Do not use this equipment in a manner other than that outlined in these instructions. Doing so may cause
personal injury or death.
• Check all wiring and connections for integrity and proper installation prior to energizing the circuit.
• Always de-energize the DC and AC circuits prior to installation or service. Neglecting to do so could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
