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, wiring box, and 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 2–18. Do not install the GT 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 the GT Inverter. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty 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 5 minutes after
disconnecting all sources of power.
9. The GT Inverter must be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor directly or via the AC
ground.

Regulatory Compliance
The GT Inverter has complete on-board over-current, over-temperature and anti-islanding protection, and
meets U.S., Canadian and international safety operating standards and code requirements:
• UL 1741 1st Edition – Standard for Inverters, Converters, and Controllers for Use in Independent
Power Systems
• CSA C22.2 No. 107.1-01 General Use Power Supplies
• IEEE C62.41 Recommended Practice on Surge Voltages in Low-Voltage AC Power Circuits (Location
Category B3).
To locate the firmware version number
The firmware version number for the protection processor is visible on a screen that appears when the unit
starts up or is powered up after switching the DC/AC Disconnect switch to “on.” The screen reads:
The number appearing after “ROM” is the firmware version number for the protection processor.
FCC Information to the User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Verification and Commissioning Test
Purpose
This procedure is designed to verify correct operation of the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter both on initial
operation and periodically through its life as required by the utilities.
Commissioning Test
Follow the startup and monitoring procedures as documented in Chapters 4 and 5.
When operation of the inverter has been verified and the unit is producing power, run the disconnect test as
described in this section.
Verification Test
Periodically run the disconnect test. The inverter must respond within the 2-second limit for compliance
and then hold off on producing power for the required delay (default value of 5 minutes).
Disconnect Test
This test requires that the AC circuit for the inverter be switched off. This can be accomplished by
switching the breaker on the main panel that feeds the inverter(s). As an alternate, the disconnect for the
home or business may be used as well. Have someone watch the front panel of the inverter. Within 2
seconds of switching the breaker, the green light on the front of the inverter must go out. The display will
respond with an AC Fault display, indicating that the AC is out of the operating range.
Re-energize the breaker to the inverter. The unit will respond by beginning its countdown. The green light
will be off during this time. Five minutes after applying AC (default value), the green light will turn on and
the inverter will begin to push power to the grid. The display will then return to its on-line display showing
the power being produced along with the total kWh produced to date.
Note: The default voltage, frequency and reconnect delay values as defined by UL1741 and CSA 107.1-01
are programmed into the unit at time of shipment from the factory. No changes to these settings can be
made in the field by the user. Only authorized personnel with the utility’s permission may change these
settings. Contact Xantrex Technology to gain permission and the procedure/equipment to make these
changes.
