Important Safety Instructions
1. Before using the inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
unit, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this manual.
2. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by Xantrex Technology Inc. may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. The inverter is designed to be permanently connected to your AC and DC electrical
systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or
electrician to ensure adherence to the local and national electrical codes applicable in
your jurisdiction.
4. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good
condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
5. Do not operate the inverter if it has been damaged in any way. If the unit is damaged,
see the Warranty and Product Information section at the end of this manual.
6. This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the inverter
except where noted for connecting wiring and cabling. See the Warranty Section in the
XW Inverter/Charger Operation Guide and other component manuals for instructions
on obtaining service. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in a risk of
electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is
disconnected.
7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the
inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any
components connected to the inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
8. The inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to
the AC input ground.
9. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. This product is designed
for indoor use only. Damp environments will significantly shorten the life of this
product and corrosion caused by dampness will not be covered by the product
warranty.
10. To reduce the chance of short-circuits, always use insulated tools when installing or
working with this equipment.
