Ensure Installation Meets All Local Codes and Requirements
Powerwall 3 comes with a Backup Gateway 2 to enable integration with the electrical grid. Powerwall 3 communicates with Backup Gateway 2 by means of a wired connection; wiring and conduit (where required) must be provided by the installer and installed to comply with local codes.
WARNING: When Powerwall 3 is installed in a dwelling unit, fire detection and protection equipment should be installed in accordance with local building and fire codes.
WARNING: Powerwall is not intended for installation in habitable spaces and living spaces in dwelling units.
WARNING: Install Powerwall in a location that prevents damage from flooding.
CAUTION: When installing Powerwall in a garage or near vehicles, keep it out of the driving path. If possible, install Powerwall on a side wall and/or above the height of vehicle bumpers.
CAUTION: Ensure that no water sources are above or near Powerwall, including downspouts, sprinklers, or faucets.
CAUTION: Ensure that snow does not accumulate around Powerwall.
CAUTION: Before installing, disconnecting, and/or adjusting current transformers for metering, ensure the circuits being measured are not energized and the system is completely powered down. Failure to de-energize the system may compromise operator and equipment safety.
