AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their
total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model. When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do
not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up (“peak” wattage) than
required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop
intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.

Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles

With a user-supplied cable and country-specific plug, connect the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Input Receptacle to your utility wall out-
let. Connect your equipment directly to the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Output Receptacle(s). Select models also include a Universal
AC Output Adapter which allows you to connect equipment with a wide variety of plug styles.

Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes
and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility 
supply before attempting hardwiring.

Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals

Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal box. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and
to your equipment. Attach 1.28 cm diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to
each other with the ground bond connection supplied.

• Connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires to the 

ground (green) terminals     .

AC Input

• Connect the incoming hot wire to the input hot 

(brown) terminals     .

• Connect the incoming neutral wire to the input neutral (blue) 

terminal     .

AC Output

• Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot 

(black) terminal     .

• Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white) 

terminal     .

Replace cover plate and tighten screws.* If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot
and neutral), the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any
case, the incoming conduit must be bonded to earth or vehicle ground, and the incoming con-
duit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.
