CAUTION
Prior to Connecting the Inverter to Batteries:
Turn the rocker switch to the OFF
Disconnect all load sources from inverter.
Disconnect any REMOTE starting systems
Disconnect any device connected to the USB port

Procedure for Connecting to Batteries
Fusing Requirements
NOTE:
It is important that ANL 300 ampere or equivalent main battery fuses be
added to the positive (+) battery cable as close as possible to the battery bank’s
positive terminal. The fuse amperage rating must be sized to allow simultaneous
operation of all the AC appliances to be powered, allowing for the momentary
high startup current requirements of inductive loads. Use the recommended fuse
block (fuse holder) and fuse, or an electrical equivalent. ANL type fuses and fuse
holders are readily available from marine supply dealers. The fuses are very
important to protect equipment, batteries and personnel. The fuses protect
against battery explosion if the cables that connect to the inverter accidentally
short.
1)
Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter is in the OFF
position.
2)
Make sure the inverter is not connected to any load source.
3)
Make sure any option remote starting systems are disconnected.
4)
Make sure any USB devices are disconnected.
5)
Locate the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter. Connect an insulated 6 gauge
copper wire to the terminal. The other end of the ground wire is connected to a “proper”
grounding point. Use the shortest practical length of wire. In a city, the ground wire can
connect to a metal cold water pipe that goes underground. In remote locations, the ground
wire can be connected to an “earth ground”. This can be an attachment to a 6 foot long
copper clad metal rod driven into the ground. In the unlikely event of a short circuit,
operating the inverter without proper grounding can result in electrical shock. Do not directly
connect this ground wire to the Negative DC Terminal. You can connect the ground wire to
the negative battery terminal. You may also connect this wire to the chassis of your vehicle
or to the grounding system in your boat.
NOTE:
The cable ends need to be stripped of insulation for approximately ¾ of an inch at
both ends. The battery ends or fuse ends need to have ring terminals crimped onto the bare
cable ends.
6)
Connect the Negative (−) cable ring terminal to the Negative (−) Battery Terminal.
