SAFE
mounted in a tight fitting compartment, the compartment must be ventilated with cut-
outs to prevent the inverter from overheating.
CLOSE TO BATTERY The inverter is not ignition-protected equipment, so it cannot be
installed in areas containing gasoline tanks or fittings which require ignition - protected
equipment. We recommend that it is safest not to install any kind of electrical equipment
including the inverter in these areas.
PROTECTED FROM BATTERY GASES The inverter should be installed as close as possible to
the batteries, but not in the same compartment to prevent corrosion. Avoid excessive
cable lengths and use the recommended wire sizes. We recommend that installing with
battery cables sized to achieve less that 3% voltage drop on battery cables under full load.
This will maximize the performance of the inverter.
To operate safely and effectively, use low - resistance wiring between the battery and the
inverter because the inverter receives high-current input from a low-voltage battery.
Run a chassis ground cable from the grounding point to chassis ground screw on the
inverter s DC panel.
There is spare DC cable inside of packing, you can use it for normal connection, if you need
longer or special system installation, when purchasing cables for DC input and ground:
Use the enough size DC input cable if you use longer cable.
Use a matching cable size for ground cable. Terminate one end with an appropriately
sized ring connector.
Use standard copper wires, avoiding aluminum wires due to their higher-resistance
rating. Have your DC input cables crimped and terminated with appropriately sized ring
connectors at the store of purchase.
Ventilation openings on the inverter must not be obstructed. If the inverter is
7. CABLES FOR DC INPUT AND GROUND
8. FUSES OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
For safety concern, you can connect a DC-rated fuse or a DC rated circuit breakers on the
positive cable line in your power system, following these recommendations when you
purchasing fuses or circuit breakers.
Select a fuse or circuit breaker with a maximum rating of 150Adc.
Determine the short-circuit current rating of the battery and choose a battery fuses that
withstand the short circuit current that may be generated by the battery.
9. INSTALL THE INVERTER
Review and follow the safety guidelines in important safety instruction on page before
proceeding with installation.
9.1 OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION STEPS
Mount the inverter
Connect the chassis ground
Connect the DC cables
9.2 MOUNT THE INVERTER
1. Make sure the inverter s ON/OFF switch is in the off position.
2. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. The inverter must be oriented
in one of the following ways:
Horizontally on a vertical surface.(the ventilation opening on the DC end must not point
up or down.)
On or under a horizontal surface
3. Hold the inverter against the mounting surface, mark the positions of the mounting
screws, and then remove the inverter.
4. Pilot drill the four mounting holes.
5. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant fasteners proper
sized.
Important: Do not mount the inverter under the engine hood of a vehicle if you install the
inverter on vehicle.
9.3 CONNECT THE CHASSIS GROUND
1. Make sure the inverter s ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. Locate the screw terminal labeled chassis ground on the DC panel and remove the
chassis ground screw and star washer.
3. Attach the ground cable s ring connector to the screw terminal on the inverter and
secure with the star washer and chassis ground screw.
4. Attach the other end of the ground cable to the vehicle chassis via a grounding point on
the vehicle if you install the inverter in vehicle. Or attach the other end of the ground cable
to the earth if you install inverter for household use.
Never operate the inverter without properly connecting the chassis ground.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
