In addition there are appendixes that contain detailed supplementary information.
1.2 Safety / Information
Generator systems contain high voltage circuitry. Failing to power down and lock
out equipment can cause damage to the equipment, or injury or death to
personnel. Wiring of the GSC400 should be performed by qualified
electricians only.
The symbols below will be used in this document to classify information.
Indicates something that you should take special note of
but that is not a threat to safety.
Indicates a potential for injury or death.
This is similar to Danger above but relates specifically to
conditions where high voltage is encountered.
The following general safety precautions should be followed:
1. The GSC400 may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious
injury or death. Extreme caution must be exercised when connections are
being made or broken from the controller. All wiring connections must be
de-energized before any installations are performed.
2. AC power may carry high Voltage/Current which can cause serious injury
or death. De-energize all AC power sources before any connections are
performed.
3. UNEVER energize AC power with AC current sensing connector
unplugged. An energized, unplugged connector could result in severe
injury or death. Never unplug an energized connector.
4. The GSC400 can be stopped/started remotely via the RS485. RS485
should be disabled while performing maintenance or repairs by unplugging
the RS485 connector.
