Warnings and Precautions
The following symbols indicate important safety
warnings and precautions throughout this manual.
They are dened as follows:
WARNING indicates that serious
bodily harm or death may result
from failure to adhere to the
precautions.
CAUTION indicates that damage
to equipment may result if the
instructions are not followed.

Warranty Disclaimer
This manual will familiarize you with the features and
operation standards of Carmanah's EG-series lights.
Failure to comply with the use, storage, maintenance,
installation or placement instructions detailed in this
manual could void the applicable user warranty.
Standards
Perform all installation, wiring and maintenance in
conformance with local building and electrical codes.
Adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC)
is mandatory. Non-adherence to code may void the
warranty.
Safety and Usage Precautions
Batteries are shipped fully-charged.
Use extreme caution when handling
the batteries as they are capable
of generating hazardous shortcircuit currents. Remove all jewelry
(bracelets, metal-strap watches,
etc.) before attempting to handle the
batteries.
Solar modules produce DC electricity when exposed to light and
can, therefore, produce an electrical shock or burn. To render solar
modules inoperative, remove
them from sunlight, or fully cover
their front surface with an opaque
material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky
equipment, ensure that the load is
secured so that moving parts do
not shift and it can be lifted as far
as needed without back strain or
loss of grip. Installation may require
more than one person.
Until the system is ready for startup,
keep the battery fuse out of the fuse
holder. Ensure the equipment is
not powered during installation and
wiring of the system.
Re-check all completed wiring for
proper polarity prior to energizing
the system.
On Start-Up, follow the procedures described in the “Testing the
system” section of this document.
