2.0 Installation
Review this section and all safety instructions before proceeding with the
installation of your inverter.
WARNING:
Installations should be performed by qualified
personnel, such as a licensed or certi
fi
ed electrician. The installer
determines which safety codes apply and ensures all applicable
installation requirements are followed. Applicable installation codes
vary depending on the speci
fi
c location and application.
WARNING:
Before installing, review the “Important Product Safety
Information” on page ii and adhere to all cautionary markings located
on the inverter and on the batteries.
2.1 Pre-Installation
Before proceeding, read the entire Installation section to determine how
best to install your CSW Series inverter. The more thorough you plan in the
beginning, the better your inverter needs will be met. Depending on your
application, there are simpli
fi
ed system diagrams shown in Figure 2-1 and
Figure 2-2. These should be reviewed to assist you in planning and designing
your installation. These drawings are not intended to override or to restrict
any national or local electrical codes, and should not be the determining
factor as to whether the installation is compliant, that is the responsibility of
the electrician and the onsite inspector.
2.1.1 Installation
Guidelines
•
Before connecting any wires, determine the cable routes throughout the
vehicle or boat, both to and from the inverter.
•
Always check for existing electrical, plumbing, or other areas of potential
damage BEFORE drilling or cutting into walls.
•
Make sure all wires have a smooth bend radius and do not become kinked.
•
If installing this inverter in a boat, RV or truck, ensure the conductors
passing through walls, bulkheads, or other structural members are
protected. This minimizes insulation damage (such as cha
fi
ng), which
can be caused by vibration or constant rubbing.
2.1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the inverter from its shipping container and inspect all
contents. Verify the following items are included:
•
CSW Series inverter
•
CSW Series Owner’s Manual
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum-
Dimensions dealer or Magnum-Dimensions directly.
*** Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of your ownership; it
is needed if the unit should require in-warranty service. ***

Required
Installing the inverter is simple and requires the following:
• Adjustable wrench (10-13 mm) • Level
