INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL
Manual No. SCIMITAR3000-1

2.5.2 230V models only.
The neutral conductor of the AC output of the Inverter is connected to the safety ground during inverter
operation.
WARNING!
Do not operate this power inverter without connecting it to
Ground.
Electrical shock hazard may result.
CAUTION
:
This equipment is designed to permit the connection of the
earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to the earthing
conductor at the equipment.
If this connection is made, all of the following conditions must be met:
This equipment shall be connected to directly to the D.C. supply system earthing electrode conductor or to
a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode
conductor is connected.
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent cabinets) as any other
equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same D.C. supply circuit and the
earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC system shall not be earthed
elsewhere.
The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the equipment.
Switching or disconnecting devices shall not be in the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and
the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.
2.6 Making DC Connections
Follow this procedure to connect the battery cables or those from another DC source to the DC input terminals on the
Inverter. Your cables should be as short as possible (ideally, less than 10 feet / 3 meters) and large enough to handle the
required Current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation.
Cables that are not an adequate gauge (too narrow) or are too long will cause decreased inverter performance such as
poor surge capability and frequent low input voltage warnings and shutdowns.
These low input voltage warnings are due to DC voltage drop across the cables from the inverter to the batteries / other
DC source.
The longer and narrower these cables, the greater the voltage drop.
WARNING!
The installation of a fuse must be on the positive cable.
Failure to place a fuse on [+] cables running between the
inverter and battery or other DC source may cause damage
to the inverter and will void the warranty.
Connections must not be made when the DC source is live.
Increasing your DC cable size will help to improve the situation.
