MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
This section describes basic maintenance and inspection procedures for the VS-616G5.
Periodic Inspection
The VS-616G5 will function longer if it is kept clean, cool and dry, and if all precautions highlighted
in this manual are observed. Periodically inspect the inverter as described in the table below to prevent
accidents and to ensure high performance with high reliability.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect all power before servicing the inverter. Then wait at least five
minutes after the power supply is disconnected and all LEDs are extinguished.
