NOTE
If the inverter is to be used at levels above 150 watts for
extended periods of time, a direct connection to the battery is
recommended. Do not use the cigarette cord for loads higher
than 150 watts. Please contact your local dealer or customer
assistance for the proper cord for direct to battery connections.

Connecting Cables
•
Power wire and wiring are very important to the performance of the inverter.
Because the inverter has a low voltage, high current input, low resistance wiring
is essential between the battery and inverter. This is so it can deliver the maximum
amount of energy to the load.
Only use the cables provided with your power inverter.
To Connect the Cables Between the Inverter and the Battery:
1. Turn the
On/Off Switch
on the inverter to the Off position. If the power
source is a DC power supply, switch it Off as well.
2. Connect cable to the
Power Input Terminals
on right side panel of the
inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is
negative (-). Insert the ends of the cables onto the terminals and
tighten the screws to clamp the cables safely.
