The manual's model list prints "FX2524 T (24 VDC/2500 VA)" under Sealed Units (with a space before the suffix) and the Appendix Ratings table is headed FX2524T; the model is recorded without the space.
Printed as "2%" in the Total Harmonic Distortion - Typical row; no maximum is printed. Read from the table headed FX2524T in the manual's Appendix Ratings.

The manual prints two different ratings for this model
OutBack's 2008 FX installation manual lists the FX2524T as 24 VDC/2500 VA on page 2, but its Appendix Ratings table headed FX2524T prints 3000VA. 2500 VA is recorded, matching the model list and the manual's model-number rule.
The model list on PDF page 4 prints "FX2524 T (24 VDC/2500 VA)", and page 49 prints that the model number gives the maximum continuous output power with its last two digits changed to zeros. The Appendix Ratings table headed FX2524T (PDF page 39, printed page 37) prints "Continuous Power Rating at 25C Ambient 3000VA" instead; that differing value is kept here and flagged. The manual prints this rating only in VA.

OutBack Power's own 60-page FX Series Inverter/Charger installation manual, part number 900-0083-01-00, "Date and Revision • June 2008 REV B". Page 2 (PDF page 4) lists the 16 FX, VFX, GTFX and GVFX models with their DC voltage and VA rating; the Appendix Ratings (PDF pages 39 to 46) print one table per model, each under a model heading; some headings differ from the model list (GTFX3048T, GVFX3648T) and the FX2524T table prints 3000VA against the list's 2500 VA. Manufacturer claims, not independent tests.

Printed as "a two year (2) limited warranty" for OutBack's "FX/VFX Series Inverter/Charger products" "if installed in fixed location applications" (warranty text revision 2008-04-01). The registration page offers an optional paid three (3) year extension to five (5) years. Printed once for the whole FX/VFX family.
The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.
Missing details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.
Missing for this product: Certificate evidence needed; Battery conversion efficiency needed; Idle consumption needed.
Each input is scored against the best documented value for an inverter: warranty term and battery conversion efficiency against every published inverter, idle consumption (lower is better) against the inverters in the same output band, or against every published inverter when the output is not documented. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Researched products receive a score. Certificates earn points for the evidence itself. Size and weight do not affect scores.
