Loose connections result in excessive voltage drop and may
cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
4.
Before proceeding further, carefully check that the cable you have just
connected connects from the negative terminal of inverter to the negative
terminal of the power source (battery).
You may observe a spark when you make this connection since
current may flow to charge capacitors in the power inverter. Do
not make this connection in the presence of flammable fumes,
as explosion or fire may result.
5.
Install inverter fuse (not included) on the positive lead. Fuse should be
located within 12” of battery. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
6.
Connect the cable from the positive terminal of inverter to the positive
terminal of the battery. Make a secure connection.
7.
Set the power switch to the ON position. Check the indicators on the front
panel of the inverter. The Input Level LED should be green or yellow,
depending on the voltage of the power source. If it is not, check your
battery bank and the connections to the inverter.
8.
Set the power inverter switch to the OFF position. The indicator lights may
blink and the internal alarm may sound momentarily. This is normal. Plug
the test load into the AC receptacle on the front panel of the inverter.
Leave the test load switch OFF.
9.
Set the power inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test load on;
the inverter should supply power to the load. If you plan to measure the
output voltage of the inverter, a true rms meter must be used for accurate
readings.
4.3 Cables
Install the inverter fuse into the positive lead. Fuse should be
located within 12” of battery. Ensure all connections are tight
and secure.
