104.5 Recessed Mount (-R) Models: 1) Remove cover and any packing material inside unit housing that may have been used for shipping purposes. 2) Remove the appropriate knockouts, 7/8” diameter, on the top and/or right hand side of the unit housing to facilitate conduit attachment. Also remove the appropriate round knockouts, 5/16”...
TEST BEFORE TOUCHING! E) To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock install the Vesta-M micro inverter system and the batteries in at temperature controlled and humidity-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. See Section 103 for operating environment specifications.
105.2 AC Input Voltage Selector Plug Installation Vesta-M micro inverter system may be operated from either 120V or 277V power sources. Determine the actual AC input line voltage and install the provided Voltage Selector Plug in the position next to the system terminal block that matches the line voltage potential as shown in the illustration below CAUTION: Failure to install the Voltage Selector Plug will prevent system operation.
Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry. Don’t carry metal objects in pockets where the objects can fall onto the batteries or into the Vesta-M micro inverter system.
108. System Start-Up Procedure IMPORTANT: The Vesta-M Micro inverter system is a sophisticated electronic backup power supply. Care must be taken to follow the steps below in their exact sequence. Failure to do so may result in possible equipment failure.
90 minutes once a year. We strongly recommend these guidelines be followed to insure system readiness, and to prolong battery life. The Vesta-M micro inverter system was designed with a front panel test switch to facilitate monthly testing. Simply depress the button and hold to test the inverter at anytime. Once released, the Vesta-M will revert back to standby operation.
Substituting batteries not supplied by the Manufacturer will void the UL listing of the system and may cause equipment failure. To ensure the superior performance of your Vesta-M micro inverter system and to maintain proper charger operation, replace spent batteries only with those having the same part number, voltage and ampere-hour rating as the original batteries.
