2.1 General
WARNING:
- Before you switch the inverter on or o󰀨, stop the gateway. Set the power
switch of the gateway in the o󰀨 position (0).
- Incorrect installation can cause electric shock or can cause damage to
the equipment and property. Obey the local regulations and electrical
standards.The system must be installed and maintained by trained and
authorized personnel.
- The gateway is designed to apply within the Taylor system, do not use it for
any other purposes.
- Use the equipment only in combination with inverters that are approved by
Taylor.
- Before you install the equipment, read all instructions.
- When the photovoltaic array is exposed to light, it supplies a DC voltage.
- Read the documentation and safety instructions of the inverter.
- Do not disconnect the junction box under load.
- Do not install the equipment in areas that contain ammable materials or
gases.
- Install the equipment in a dry location.
- If the power cable has damage, switch o󰀨 the gateway and remove the
power source before you touch the power cable.
- If the equipment has damage, disconnect the power cable. Replace the
equipment.
- Do not open the equipment.
- Do not make changes to the equipment.
- Recycle the equipment as electronic waste. Do not put the equipment in
unsorted municipal waste. Obey the local regulations.
2.2 Connect to the inverter
2 Safety
Caution:
- On the inverter, do not
connect more than one string
of solar panels to an MPPT
connection.
- Refer to the documentation
of the inverter.

Remarks
On On The system produces energy. The cable
from the solar string is energized.
O󰀨 O󰀨 When the gateway is o󰀨, the system is
in safety mode. The cable from the solar
string has approximately 1 Volt per
solar panel.
Warning: To make sure that the
system is in safety mode, disconnect
the power adapter of the gateway.
