1 Important Safety Information
Save This Manual! Read this manual before installation, it contains important safety, installation
and operating instructions. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
All wiring must follow the National Electric Code, Provincial or other codes in effect at the time
of installation, regardless of suggestions in this manual. All wires should be copper conductors.
1.1 General Safety Precautions
1.1.1 Before installing and using the SD Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger, read the manual
and cautionary markings on the Inverter/Charger enclosure. Be sure to read all instructions and
cautionary markings for any equipment attached to this unit. Installers must be certified technicians
or electricians.
1.1.2 This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. Do not expose the
inverter/charger to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct
the ventilation openings. Do not install the inverter/charger in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result. Allow at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Make
sure that the air can circulate freely around the unit. A minimum air flow of 145CFM is required.
1.1.3 To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
1.1.4 This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations
which require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered
machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.
See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service.
1.1.5 Do not dis-assemble the Inverter/Charger. It contains no user serviceable parts. Attempting to
service the Inverter/Charger yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal
capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
1.1.6 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the
Inverter/Charger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The output side of the inverter’s AC wiring should at no time be connected to public power or a
generator. This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will
shut down until corrections are made.
Installation should ensure that the inverter’s AC output is, at no time, connected to its AC input.
