AC transfer switch—and can be used as a stand-alone or back-up application. It is designed for indoor or enclosed locations. OutBack Power Systems does everything possible to assure the components you purchase will function properly and safely when installed as instructed according to local and national electrical codes (NEC). -
Page 6: Safety Instructions
• Passing inspection • Requiring a licensed electrician to do the work when mandated OutBack Power Systems cannot be responsible for system failure, damages, or injury resulting from improper installation of their products. Use only the recommended DC and AC wire sizes or greater. Be sure all wires are in good condition. - Page 7 WARNING: WORKING NEAR LEAD ACID BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets” at the top of the enclosure. Vent the battery compartment from the highest point to the outside. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the flow of hydrogen to the vent opening.
