Safety Instructions
Caution
Read owners manual BEFORE wiring or powering up the RE-4500.
Caution
DO NOT cover or obstruct ventilation openings. DO NOT mount in
a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
Warning
Under high ambient temperature / high-power-output conditions
some parts of the inverter may become hot enough to cause
burns. The unit should be installed so that it is not to be contacted
by personnel.
Warning
This equipment employs components that tend to produce arcs
and sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT install in
confined areas or compartments that contain batteries or
flammable gases and materials.
Warning
Improper use of this product may result in risk of electrical shock.
Both AC and DC voltage sources are terminated inside this
equipment.

Battery connections are for disconnection only, NOT for current
interruption.
General Precautions Do not expose the inverter/charger to direct water spray, rain, or
snow.
To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings.
Do not install the inverter in a zero clearance compartment. This
may result in overheating and/or diminished performance.
To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, do
not use attachments not recommended or sold by Vanner
Incorporated.
Vanner recommends that all AC and DC electrical wiring be
performed by a licensed electrician or a qualified technician to
ensure compliance with all applicable national and local wiring
regulations.
To avoid a risk of fire and/or electrical shock, always verify wiring
connections are in good electrical condition. All external
conductors must use proper wire size to avoid dangerous
overheating and/or diminished performance.
If the inverter has been dropped or damaged in any way, do not
operate the inverter until it has been verified to be safe by a
qualified technician.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the AC
and DC connections using the code required AC and DC
disconnects. The On/Off switch only turns off the Inverter
electronics. Dangerous AC and DC Voltages Are Still Present!
The inverter must be properly grounded in accordance with local
and national codes and ordinances before operation. For most
installations, the negative (ground) conductor should be bonded
to the grounding system at one and only one point in the system.
For optimum inverter/charger performance, battery temperature
should be above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. See the service section
of this manual for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting
to service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of electrical
shock, fire and/or loss of warranty.
Always use service disconnects to break the circuit before
attempting any kind of servicing of the RE-4500. DO NOT attempt
to service the unit while still actively connected to a power
source of any kind.
Explosive Gas Precautions
This equipment contains components, which tend to produce arcs
or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install in
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in
locations that 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.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions,
the battery manufacturer instructions, and the instructions of the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
Working near a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation.
Battery Precautions
Always have someone within range of your voice to come to your
aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have close access to plenty of fresh water and soap in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Always wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
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. Get medical attention
immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame near a battery. Gases
produced by batteries are explosive.

Be careful when working with metal tools around batteries.
Potentials exist for sparks or short-circuit of the battery or other
electrical part which could cause an explosion.
Before attempting any sort of wiring for the DC supply to the
Inverter, turnoff the DC disconnect associated with the Batteries.
For Safety, ALWAYS check the operation of the disconnect with a
voltmeter!
In addition to the lethal current associated with the batteries, care
must be taken to avoid any potential problems or explosions from
the batteries. ALWAYS comply with the battery manufacturer’s
and local code requirements/guidelines for the installed battery
system.
Code Compliance Vanner Model RE-4500 is certified by Underwriter’s
Laboratory to meet UL listing 1741 for Photovoltaic Systems,
