3. SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
International safety regulations have been strictly observed in the design and
testing of the GridBOSS. Before beginning any work, carefully read all safety
instructions and always observe them when working on or with the inverter. The
installation must follow all applicable national or local standards and regulations.
Incorrect installation may cause:
• Injury or death to the installer, operator, or third party
• Damage to the inverter or other attached equipment
3.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS
DANGER: Hazardous Voltage Circuits!
There are various safety concerns that must be carefully observed before, during,
and after the installation, as well as during future operation and maintenance. The
following are essential safety notifications for this product's installer and end users
under normal operating conditions.
1. Beware of high grid voltage. Ensure the AC switch and/or AC breaker are in
the “off” or “open” position before installing or working on the inverter. Use a
voltmeter to confirm there is no voltage present to avoid electric shock.
2. Do not open the internal GridBOSS cover while it is operating to avoid
electric shock and damage from live voltage and current within the
system.
3. Do not make any connections or remove any connections while GridBOSS is
operating.
4. An installer should make sure to be well protected by reasonable and
professional insulative equipment [e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE)].
5. Before installing, operating, or maintaining the system, it is important to inspect
all existing wiring to ensure that it meets the appropriate specifications and
conditions for use.
6. Ensure the grid connections to the inverter are secure and proper to prevent
damage or injuries caused by improper installation.
7. Some components of the system can be very heavy. Be sure to utilize team-lift,
among other safe lifting techniques, throughout the installation.
