Installing the Inverter/Charger
This guide for use by qualified personnel only.
Safe
Close to
battery
compartment
Protected from
battery acid
and gases
Locate the inverter/charger away from battery in a
separate well ventilated compartment. Do not
install the inverter/charger in any compartment
containing flammable gases or liquids like gasoline.
The length and size of your DC cables will affect
performance. Use the DC cables recommended in
Table 3 on page 1
The unit should
not
be
installed in the battery compartment due to the
possible presence of explosive hydrogen gas from
the batteries.
Never place the inverter/charger directly above the
batteries—gases from battery will corrode and
damage the inverter/charger. If the inverter/charger
is installed in a compartment above the batteries,
make sure there is a solid, gas-impermeable wall
dividing the two compartments.
However, flooded or wet cell batteries produce
flammable gases that can potentially be ignited and
therefore a safety hazard. If the batteries are sealed
(no caps to add water), then the
,QYHUWHU&KDUJHU
can be mounted above the batteries if so desired (a
position outlined in this guide).
Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/
charger or its wiring when filling the batteries or
reading their specific gravity.
Orientation
To meet regulatory requirements, the
,QYHUWHU
&KDUJHU
must be mounted in one of the approved
mounting orientations. See Figure 6 on page 2
