HS3 Series 1.2.2. Symbol explanation Symbol Description Danger: Electrical shock hazard This device is directly connected to public grid and thus all work to the battery shall only be carried out by qualified personnel. WARNING: No open flames Do not place or install near flammable or explosive materials.
• Do not stay close to the equipment while there are severe weather conditions including storm, lighting, etc. • Before opening the housing, the SAJ inverter must be disconnected from the grid and PV generator; you must wait for at least five minutes to let the energy storage capacitors completely discharged after disconnecting from power source.
• Disconnect the AC circuit breaker, or keep it disconnect if it is tripped, and secure it against reconnection. • The SAJ inverter must only be operated with the PV generator. Do not connect any other source of energy to the SAJ inverter.
⚫ Operate and use the battery properly according to the user manual. Any attempts to modify battery without the permission from SAJ will void the limit warranty for the battery. ⚫ The battery must be installed at a suitable location with sufficient ventilation.
