Quick Start Guide Instruction Manual

Energize/Startup
Procedures
Pre-startup Procedures:
1. Double-check all wiring connections.
2. Inspect the enclosure to ensure no
tools or debris has been left inside.
3. Disconnect AC loads at the load panel.
4. Disconnect AC inputs at the source.

De-energize/Shutdown
Procedures
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
Review the system configuration to identify
all possible sources of energy. Ensure ALL
sources of power are disconnected before
performing any installation or maintenance
on this equipment. Confirm that the
terminals are de-energized using a
validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum
1000 Vac and 1000 Vdc) to verify the
de-energized condition.
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
The numbered steps will remove power from
the inverter and charge controllers.
However, sources of energy may still be
present in the AC and DC wiring boxes. To
ensure absolute safety, disconnect ALL
power connections at the source.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Internal parts can become hot during
operation. Do not remove the cover during
operation or touch any internal parts.
Be sure to allow the parts sufficient time to
cool down before attempting to perform
any maintenance.
To de-energize or shut down the OutBack devices:
1. Turn off (open) the AC circuit breakers.
2. Turn off (open) the DC circuit breakers for the battery.
Wait 5 minutes for the devices to internally discharge themselves.
3. Turn off (open) the PV circuit breakers.
4. Turn off (open) the GFDI circuit breaker.
5. Verify 0 Vdc on the DC input terminal of the master inverter by placing
the voltmeter leads on and .
6. Verify 0 Vdc on the DC input terminal of the slave inverter by placing
the voltmeter leads on and .
7. Verify 0 Vdc on the PV terminals of one charge controller by placing the
voltmeter leads on and .
7. Verify 0 Vdc on the PV terminals of the other charge controller by
placing the voltmeter leads on and .
7. Verify 0 Vac on the AC output circuit breakers by placing the voltmeter
leads on and . Repeat this step for and .

To energize or start up the OutBack devices:
1. Using a digital voltmeter (DVM), verify 12, 24, or 48 Vdc on the DC plates by
placing the DVM leads on and . Confirm that the voltage is correct for the
inverter and charge controller models. Confirm the polarity.
2. Turn on (close) the GFDI circuit breaker.
3. Verify that the PV output for each charge controller is in the correct range of open-circuit
voltage and confirm the polarity by:
a) placing the DVM leads on and , and
b) placing the DVM leads on and .
4. Turn on (close) the PV input circuit breakers.
5. Turn on (close) the DC circuit breakers from the battery bank to the inverter.
6. Verify 120 Vac on the AC Output L1 TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
7. Verify 120 Vac on the AC Output L2 TBB and .
8. Verify 240 Vac between the AC Output TBBs by placing the DVM leads on and .
NOTE: Assumes correct stacking programming with the Configuration Wizard.
9. Turn on (close) the AC output circuit breakers.
10. Verify 120/240 Vac on the terminals of the AC source and connect the source.
10. Verify 120 Vac on the AC Input L1 TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
11. Verify 120 Vac on the AC Input L2 TBB and .
12. Verify 240 Vac between the AC Input TBBs by placing the DVM leads on and .
13. Turn on (close) the AC input circuit breakers.
14. Turn on the AC disconnects at the load panel and test the loads.
