3. Installation 

 

3.1 Connection to the battery 

In order to utilize the full capacity of the product, batteries with sufficient capacity and 
battery cables with sufficient cross section should be used. See table:

The inverters are fitted with an internal DC fuse (see table above for rating). If the DC 
cable length is increased to more than 1,5 m, an additional fuse or DC circuit breaker 
must be inserted close to the battery. 
 
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires will blow the internal fuse and can 
damage the inverter. The internal fuse it not replacable. 
 

3.2 Connection to the load 

Never connect the output of the inverter to another AC source, such as a household 
AC wall outlet or a generator. 
 

3.3 Remote on/off connector 

A remote on/off switch can be connected to the two pole connecter. Alternatively, the 
left hand contact of the connector can be switched to battery positive: useful in 
automotive applications, wire it to the ignition contact. 
 
Note that also the front switch needs to set to either On or ECO for the inverter to 
start. 

 
3.4 Configuration 

The inverter is ready for use with the factory settings (see specifications), and can be 
configured with a computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed), Apple and 
Android smartphones, tablets and other devices (VE.Direct to Buetooth Low Energy 
(BLE) dongle needed).
