alone will not reducethe risk of shock or injury.
 CAUTION - Only qualified (OHFWULFDOO\WUDLQHGpersonnel can install this equipmentVDIHO\.
 NEVER charge a battery below specified minimum temperature; refer to the battery data sheet.
 Wire size is critical for safe operation, and optimal performance of the equipment. Refer to a
accredited sizing resource orWR cable manufacturer specifications to meet inverter/
charge requirements.
 Use caution when working with metal tools on or around all systems and batteries. Risk of
electrical arcs and/or short circuiting of equipment can lead to severe injury and damage.
 Strictly follow installation procedure when connecting and disconnecting AC or DC terminals.
Refer to INSTALLATION section of the manual for details.

 GROUNDING -This inverter/charger should be connected to a permanent grounded wiring
system. The grounding system must meet the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
requirements in your area.
 NEVER short AC output and DC inputs. Do NOT connect to the grid with a shorted DC input.
 Warning!! Only qualified service personQHO are able to service this device. If errors still
persist after following troubleshooting table, please contact your retailer for further
assistance.
 WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are
acceptable: Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline with class A-rated, and CIGS modules. To avoid
any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the
inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When
using CIGS modules, please be sure NOT to groundHLWKHU39SROHV.
 CAUTION: DC breakers and surge protection on PV lines DUH recommended. Without
breakers the equipment is at higher risk of damage from sources such as surges and
