Outback Power Systems FLEXpower ONE One Fully Pre-Wired Single Inverter System Installation Manual - Manual (Page 6)

Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
 When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery terminals, ensure
the proper polarity is observed. Connecting the cables incorrectly can
damage or destroy the equipment.
 Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no tools
or equipment have been inadvertently left behind.
 Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced and that all vents are
clear of obstructions that can prevent proper air flow around or through
the unit.
 Sensitive electronics inside the equipment can be destroyed by static
electricity. Be sure to discharge any static electricity built up before
touching the equipment and wear appropriate protective gear.
PV Safety
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Photovoltaic (PV) arrays can be energized with minimal ambient light available.
Therefore to ensure a safe disconnect from the system, be sure to install a PV
disconnect, breaker, or accessible fuse box (depending on local code
requirements).
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
PV Arrays must be wired with correct polarity (positive-to-positive, negative-to-
negative). Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the
equipment.
Battery Safety
WARNING: Electrocution Hazard
 Use the battery types recommended by OutBack Power Systems. Follow
the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and
maintenance.
 Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around batteries.
 Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean of debris.
 Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or other
electrical parts.
 Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
 If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from
the battery first. Make sure all accessories are turned off so you don’t cause
a spark.
 If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the
automatic starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting
battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
