This manual contains important instructions for all Eaton’s
Bussmann series combiner box models that must be followed
during the installation and use of the combiner boxes.
The combiner boxes are designed and tested according to
IEC61439-1 & 2 and international safety requirements, but as with
all electrical and electronic equipment, certain precautions must
be observed when installing the combiner boxes.
In the instance where a combiner box is supplied without a
disconnect switch, additional precautions must be taken to ensure
that the unit is isolated from all other components in the PV
system, and that there is no danger present to anyone working on
the unit. The combiner box is then opened at the users risk.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and to ensure the safe installa-
tion and operation of the combiner boxes, you must carefully read
and follow all instructions and warnings in this Technical Manual.
