simple chart for this as length of cable

I would work on every 3 meter / 10 ft then x 2

By far the best advice is to keep DC runs as
short as possible

7) In the event of this unit being installed into a ring main or
extension power circuit The output voltage of this unit must never be
on your AC system at the same time as the 230V external mains line.
If the output voltage is to be used on a ring mains system, a suitable two-
pole crossover switch must be used. failure to do this will result in the
destruction of this unit even if switched off that the time and not covered
under warranty.
8) Only use products that are within the ability of the inverter to operate
them. Also, take into account overload requirements on things like fridge
motor and electric grinders etc. This could require a 500-1000% power
increase above the product rating, I.e. a 80W fridge may require 800W to
fire it up (a fridge is probably the hardest product to operate).

Remove all AC power products from the

Insert the remote control unit into the remote socket on the front of the
inverter. The switch on the remote control is now the one in charge ( keep

Installation for option 2 RCD version
This is a more dangerous product to install due to the 230V flying lead and
should be installed by a professional electrical engineer.
Make sure the
product is switched off and the RCD is also switched off. Ensure the
naked AC fly lead is connected first before the DC. If the DC is
connected this lead will become live if not switched off, this is high
voltage AC and could kill.
