Installing the Inverter/Charger
Guidelines for Routing the DC Cables
Follow these guidelines to ensure maximum performance.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
• Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the
insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
• Do not attempt to use the chassis in place of the battery negative
connection for grounding. The inverter requires a reliable return path
directly to the battery.
• To reduce the chance of radio frequency interference, keep the
positive and negative cables close together—ideally, held together by
straps, loom, or insulated clamps at regular intervals.
• To ensure maximum performance from the inverter/charger, do not
route your DC cables through a DC distribution panel, battery isolator,
or other device that will cause additional voltage drops. The exception
is the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit breaker which is
required at the battery to protect the DC wiring.
• To help avoid damage caused by reverse polarity battery connection,
it is a good idea to mark each end of each cable to identify it as a
positive (red) or negative (black) cable before routing the wiring.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury
