Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—This manual contains important instructions that shall be followed

during the installation and maintenance of the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter.

1. Before installing and using the GT Inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the

inverter and in all appropriate sections of this guide.

2. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the heat sink.

3. Observe the clearance recommendations as described on page 2–12. Do not install theGT Inverter in a

zero-clearance or non-ventilated compartment. Overheating may result.

4. Use only accessories recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Doing otherwise may result in a risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

5. 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 GT Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

6. Do not operate the GT Inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in

any way. If the GT Inverter is damaged, see the Warranty section.

7. Do not disassemble theGT Inverter. It contains nouser-serviceableparts. SeeWarranty for instructions

on obtaining service. Attempting to service the GT Inverter yourself may result in a risk of electrical

shock or fire and will void the factory warranty.

8. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the GT Inverter before

attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the inverter. Turning

off controls will not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors remain charged for up to 30 minutes after

disconnecting all sources of power.

9. The GT Inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the AC

ground.

Safety

viii 975-0253-01-01

Regulatory Compliance

The GT Inverter is CE Marked for the following Directives and standards:

• Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, per EN50178 “Electronic Equipment for Use in Power

Installations”.

• EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, per:

• EN61000-6-3 “Emission Standard for Residential, Commercial, and Light-Industrial

Environments”

• EN61000-6-1 “Immunity for Residential, Commercial, and Light-Industrial Environments”

• EN61000-3-2 “Limits for Harmonic Current Emissions”

• EN61000-3-3 “Limitations of Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker”.

The GT Inverter is designed for utility interactive operation. It has complete on-board over-current, over-

temperature and anti-islanding protection. It monitors voltage and frequency of the utility grid and

automatically stops supplying power whenever conditions on the utility grid deviate from standard levels

(see Specifications).

The GT Inverter is equipped with a high frequency transformer that assures galvanic isolation between the

DC side and the utility power grid.

German models have an integrated ENS and comply with the VDE 0126 regulations for supplementary

grid connection, especially to the “regulation for the supplementary grid feeding with photovoltaic

electricity producing facilities to the low voltage power supply grid” issued by the VDEW.

Spanish models comply with Royal Decree 1663/2000, dated on September 29, regarding the connection

of photovoltaic installations to the low tension network.
