The back panel of the CSW412 inverter is equipped with the following
features (see Figure 1-5):
8. Cooling
Fan
– an intake cooling fan that automatically turns on when the
inverter’s internal temperature rises above 122 °F (50 °C). The fan turns
off when the inverter’s internal temperature falls below 122 °F (50 °C).
9. DC Negative Terminal (black)
– the inverter’s connection to the
negative terminal on the 12 VDC battery bank.
10. Mounting Flanges (front and rear)
– used to mount and secure the
inverter to a shelf/wall.
11. Model Number
– the model number of the inverter (i.e., CSW412), and
regulatory compliance information.
12. DC Positive Terminal (red)
– the inverter’s connection to the positive
terminal on the 12 VDC battery bank.
1.3 Regulatory
Compliance
The CSW Series inverters are intended to be used for land vehicles (RVs
or trucks) or marine craft. They are listed to UL Standard 458, 5th Edition
(Power Converters/Inverters and Power Converter/Inverter Systems for
Land Vehicles and Marine Crafts) for use in the US; and are also certi
fi
ed to
CSA Standard C22.2 No. 107.1-01 (General Use Power Supplies) for use in
Canada.
These inverters have been tested and certi
fi
ed to product safety standards by
Intertek Testing Services (known as ETL), which is a Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL). NRTLs are quali
fi
ed organizations that meet
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to
perform independent safety testing and product certi
fi
