Connecting the Inverter
Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage
to connectors, conductors, and insulation and can cause sparking. Reverse
polarity connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and can permanently
damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will void the
warranty.
Installation Procedure
1. Mount the inverter in a secure location. If the inverter is to be mounted
on a wall, mount it horizontally. Make sure that the front and rear of the
inverter has free air flow.
2. Make sure the cables are the proper gauge and have the fuse holder as
close to the battery bank’s Positive (+) terminal as possible.
3. Install the fuse in the Positive (+) cable.
4. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter
is in the OFF (0) position.
5. The cable ends need to be stripped of insulation for 1/2 inch before
attaching to terminals. Insert cable end into terminal and tighten with the
screw. Make sure that the cable connections are secure and there are no
loose connections.
6. Connect the Negative (−) cable end to the inverter terminal and battery
Negative Terminal. Make sure you have good, secure connections.
7. Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable end
and the inverter’s positive terminal may cause a spark. This is a normal
and is a result of capacitors in the inverter starting to charge. Because of
the possibility of sparking, it is extremely important that both the inverter
and the battery bank be positioned away from any source of flammable
fumes or gases. Failure to heed this warning can result in fire or explo-
sion. Do not make the positive terminal connection immediately after the
batteries have been charging. Allow time for the battery gasses to vent
to outside air.
