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
