NOTE suggests optimal conditions and provides additional information.

1.1

Warranty Disclaimer

This manual will familiarize you with the features, operation standards, and installation of Carmanah’s F Series Applied Information (AI) system.

Failure to comply with the use, storage, maintenance, installation or placement instructions detailed in this manual could void the warranty.

Safety and Usage Precautions

Batteries are shipped fully charged. Use extreme caution when handling the batteries as they can generate hazardous short-circuit currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches, etc.) before handling the batteries.

Solar panels produce DC electricity when exposed to light and can therefore produce an electrical shock or burn. To render solar panels inoperative, remove them from sunlight or fully cover their front surface with an opaque material.

Before lifting any heavy or bulky equipment, ensure the load is secured so moving parts do not shift, and that it can be lifted as far as needed without back strain or loss of grip. Installation may require more than one person.

Ensure the equipment is not powered during installation and wiring of the system.

Recheck all completed wiring for proper polarity prior to energizing the system.

Changes or modifications to Carmanah equipment not expressly approved by Carmanah could void both the user's authority to operate the equipment and the warranty.
