2 The Export models meet the same requirements (althoughthe UL specifications may not be recognized in countries other than the ). All 120 VAC 60 Hzversions of the UX model are listed to the proposed UL1741 draft specification for residentialand commercial photovoltaic applications.*HQHUDO 3 UHFDXWLRQV1. Before using the inverter /charger, read all instructions and cautionary markingson (a) the inverter /charger, (b) the batteries and (c) all appropriate sections ofthis instruction CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony,lead calcium, gel cell, or absorbed mat type rechargeable batteries.

3 Other types ofbatteries may burst, causing personal injury and Do not expose inverter /charger to rain, snow or liquids of any type. The inverter isdesigned for indoor mounting only. Protect the inverter from splashing when used invehicle applications. Do not mount the inverter in unventilated enclosures or in anengine Do not disassemble the inverter /charger take it to a qualified Trace Service Centerwhen service or repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electricshock or fire. Before using the inverter /charger, read all instructions and cautionarymarkings in this manual and on the To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting anymaintenance or cleaning.

4 Turning off the inverter may not reduce this risk. As long asAC input power is present, the charger section will be operable (if installed) regardlessof the on/off switch position. Solar modules produce power when exposed to light -disable or disconnect before servicing any connected WARNING - WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL ventilation to the outdoors from the battery compartment. Design the batteryenclosure to prevent accumulation and in pockets concentration of hydrogen gas atthe top of the compartment.

5 Vent the battery compartment from the highest NEVER attempt to charge a frozen No terminals or lugs are required for hook-up of the AC wiring. AC wiring must be noless than 14 AWG ( mm2) copper wire and rated for 75 C or higher. Batterycables must be rated for 75 C or higher and must be no less than #2 AWG. Crimpedand sealed copper-ring terminal lugs with a 5/16 (8mm) hole must be used to connectthe battery cables to the DC terminals of the inverter /charger. Soldered cable lugs arealso ;?/?7 :$7766<0%2/6 Copyright Trace EngineeringTel (360) 435-8826 Part Number 31785916 19th St, NEFax (360) 435-2229 Effective Date 9/8/97 Arlington, WA iv9.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only input circuits provided with 40-amperebranch circuit protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, 3 UHFDXWLRQVi. Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing,or Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.

7 Avoid touching eyes whileworking near batteries. Wash your hands when If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acidenters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 15 minutes andget medical attention Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in thearea of the NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery or Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto batteries. It couldshort-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts producing a spark that could cause Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches whenworking with a battery.

8 A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough toweld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe If a remote or automatic generator-start system is used, disable the automatic startingcircuit, and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery while servicing toprevent accidental starting during ;?/?7 :$77663(&,$/ 127,&(6 Copyright Trace EngineeringTel (360) 435-8826 Part Number 31785916 19th St, NEFax (360) 435-2229 Effective Date 9/8/97 Arlington, WA v6\PEROVS ymbols used in this manual and on the inverter /charger are shown below: 6 SHFLDO 1 RWLFHV1) Tools required to make AC wiring connections.)
