Important Safety Instructions

WARNING !
Before you install and use Your Dometic SI 1500 Sine
Inverter, be sure to read and follow these safety
instructions. Save this for later reference.
1.1

General Safety Precautions

1-1-1. Do not expose the SI 1500 Sine Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or
dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the SI 1500 Sine Inverter in a zero-clearance
compartment. Overheating may result.
1-1-2. To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock, make sure that existing wiring
is in good electrical condition and that wire size is not undersized. Do
not operate the SI 1500 Sine Inverter with damaged or substandard
wiring.
1-1-3. This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks.
To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments containing
batteries or flammable materials or in locations which require ignition
protected equipment. This includes any space containing
gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other
connections between components of the fuel system.
1.2

Precautions When Working with Batteries

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water
for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
1-2-2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or
short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an
explosion.
1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces or
watches when working with a battery. A battery produces a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or other metal, causing a severe
burn.
