Safety Instructions - Samlexpower PST-30S-12A Owner's Manual

Please read these instructions before installing or operating the inverter to prevent
personal injury or damage to the inverter.
GENERAL
Installation and wiring compliance
• Installation and wiring must comply with the local and national electrical codes
and must be done by a certified electrician
Preventing electrical shock
• Always connect the grounding connection on the inverter to the appropriate
grounding system
• Disassembly / repair should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
• Disconnect all AC and DC side connections before working on any circuits
associated with the inverter. Turning the on/off switch on the inverter to off
position may not entirely remove dangerous voltages
• Be careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors. The capacitors may retain
high lethal voltages even after the power has been removed. Discharge the
capacitors before working on the circuits
Installation environment
• The inverter should be installed indoor only in a well ventilated, cool, dry
environment
• Do not expose to moisture, rain, snow or liquids of any type.
• To reduce the risk of overheating and fire, do not obstruct the suction and
discharge openings of the cooling fans
• To ensure proper ventilation, do not install in a low clearance compartment
Preventing fire and explosion hazards
Working with the inverter may produce arcs or sparks. Thus, the inverter should not
be used in areas where there are inflammable materials or gases requiring ignition
protected equipment. These areas may include spaces containing gasoline powered
machinery, fuel tanks, battery compartments
Precautions when working with batteries
• Batteries contain very corrosive diluted sulphuric acid as electrolyte. Precautions
should be taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing
• Batteries generate hydrogen and oxygen during charging resulting in evolution
of explosive gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and
follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
• Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could
spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
• Remove metal items like rings, bracelets and watches when working with
batteries. The batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal and thus cause a severe burn.
• If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the
battery first. Make sure that all the accessories are off so that you do not cause a
spark
