Installation Requirements

The inverter must be installed in an area that meets
all of the following requirements:

A. Dry

Do not place in an area where water can drip
or splash on the inverter.

B. Cool

Ambient air temperature should be between 30°F
and 105°F (0°C and 40°C). The cooler the better.

C. Ventilate

Allow at least one inch (three cm) of clearance around
the inverter for proper airflow. Make sure that ventilation
openings on the ends of the unit are not obstructed.

D. Safe

Do not install the inverter in the same compartment
as a battery or in any compartment that contains
flammable liquids such as gasoline.

E. Close to Battery

Install unit as close to battery as possible (without
being in the same compartment) to minimize the
length of cable required to connect the inverter to
the battery. It is better and cheaper to run longer
AC wires than longer DC wires (cables).

CAUTION To avoid fire, do not cover or obstruct
ventilation openings. Do not install inverter in a zero-
clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

CAUTION The inverter must only be connected to
batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts.
It will not work with a 6 volt battery, and will be
damaged if it is connected to a 16 volt battery.

WARNING This unit contains components which
can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install in compartments containing
a battery or flammable materials, or in a location

which requires ignition protected equipment.

Mounting

To mount your inverter:

1. Place the inverter on a flat surface with the

mounting bracket against the mounting surface.

2. Mount to secure surface using mounting hardware

that is corrosion resistant (not included).

The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
