INSTALLATION TIP
To minimize electrical interference, keep the DC power cables as short as possible
and twist them with 1 to 3 twists per foot. This minimizes radiated interference
from the cables.

CAUTION:
Always use adequate wire size and fusing for any installation
Wiring Steps
•
Disconnect the positive battery terminal before doing any wiring to the inverter.
•
Using proper sized copper wire and proper terminations, wire the inverter to the electrical
system and fuse block. See your local RV dealer or automotive shop for wire, connectors, fuse
block and other wiring parts. Tighten all connections firmly, but do not over tighten.
Remember to recheck all connections every few months of operation.
SPV-8, SPV-10 and SPV-15
- Strip ½” of insulation off of the wire and insert into the
terminal on the inverter. Do not tin the wire. Tighten the set screw securely using a proper
size screwdriver.
SPV-25
- Use ring type lugs for a 5/16” post to attach to the wires. Crimp the lugs to the
wire and slide the lugs under the nut and tighten securely.
