Mounting location is critical to performance and life span of the
inverter. Heat and moisture are the two worst enemies of any
electronic device. Therefore, when choosing a mounting location,
consider the following requirements listed in order of importance:
Inverter must be sheltered from the elements. Select a clean, dry
location.
Inverter requires adequate ventilation for cooling. With proper
cooling, the inverter will operate efficiently and meet its published
ratings.
All models can be mounted in several positions.
Best
position, with fan down. Second best, horizontal. Third, vertical
with fan up. Least preferred, upside down.
Inverter should be mounted as close to the battery as possible.
Shorter
wire has less resistance, which translates to increased
efficiencies.
An in line fuse is recommended, to protect the battery and wiring to
the inverter. This fuse should be located very close to the battery
positive (+) terminal. To select appropriate size fuse, consult the
"Rated and Peak Current" table in appendix "A".
Disconnect the
charger and inverter are off.
Make DC input connections to the inverter as illustrated in
“
Appendix C”.
(Optional) Using 12-18 AWG wire, make Remote On/Off
connection from the rear panel terminal labeled “REMOTE” to one
pole of a small toggle switch. Then from the other pole of toggle
switch, make a connection to battery negative (-).Make sure the
toggle switch is in the off position.
Reconnect grounded terminal of the battery.
