SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions, cautionary markings, and all appropriate sections of this installation and user
manual as well as other component manuals before using the system.
Be cautious around electricity, electrical components, and batteries. Shocks, burns, injury, and even
death can occur if an installer comes in contact with electricity.
This product is intended to be installed as part of a permanently grounded electrical system .
• The OutBack HUB is designed for indoor installation or installation inside a weatherproof enclosure.
• All wiring voltage is less than 30 volts DC (CAT5e communications cable) and considered a “limited
energy circuit” which normally does not require conduit (consult your local code for specifi c
installation requirements).
• Install all components and wiring according to national and local electrical and building codes. This
may include submitting a plan to the local building department and passing an inspection.
• For full system protection, one FLEXware Surge Protector per FX Series Inverter/Charger should be
installed.
OutBack Power Systems cannot be responsible for system failure, damages, or injury resulting from
improper installation of their products.
NOTE:
In the United States, it is a UL 1741 requirement for a grid-tie system to have surge protection.
Installing an OutBack FW-SP is also recommended if your AC source is irregular or unreliable with
power surges (due to a lower quality generator or inconsistent utility power, for instance).
