Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Installation Guide contains

important safety instructions.

Before you install and use your RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger, be

sure to read, understand, and save these safety instructions and those in

the other product guides.

Read all cautionary markings on the inverter/charger, the batteries, and all

appropriate sections of this guide.

1. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by Xantrex Technology,

Inc. may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

2. The inverter/charger 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 application.

3. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that the existing

wiring is in good condition and that the wire is not undersized. Do not

operate the inverter/charger with damaged or substandard wiring.

4. To reduce risk of damage and injury, charge only rechargeable

lead-acid batteries (flooded, gel, or absorbed glass mat (AGM) types).

Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and

damage.

WARNING: Risk of injury or loss of life

The RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger shall not be used in connection with life

support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

WARNING

The following warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in

personal injury or loss of life.

Safety

vi 975-0126-01-01

5. Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,

been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the unit is

damaged, see the Warranty and Product Information section in the

RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Operation Guide.

6. Do not disassemble the inverter/charger; it does not contain user

serviceable parts. Take it to a qualified service person when service or

repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of

electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all

power is disconnected. For instructions on obtaining service, see the

section in the RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Operation Guide.

7. Do not expose the inverter/charger to rain, snow, or water.

8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all sources of AC and

DC power from the Inverter/Charger before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this

risk.

9. The inverter/charger must be provided with equipment grounding

conductors connected to the AC input ground and chassis ground

terminals.

To reduce the risk of overheating, keep the ventilation openings clear and

do not install the inverter/charger in a compartment with limited airflow

or inadequate clearances around the unit. Refer to the RS2000 Sine Wave

Inverter/Charger Installation Guide for required clearance.

CAUTION

Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the unit or

other equipment.
