Mounting the Inverter
Do not mount the inverter under the hood of your vehicle. See “Choosing
an Appropriate Location and Mounting Orientation” on page 2–4.
To mount the inverter:
1. Make sure the On/Off switch is in the Off position.
2. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation as
recommended in “Choosing an Appropriate Location and Mounting
Orientation” on page 2–4.
3. Using the measurements found in “Mounting Dimensions” on
page 2–5, mark the positions of the mounting screw holes in the
mounting surface where the inverter is to be permanently placed.
4. Pilot drill the four mounting screw holes.
5. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant
fasteners sized #10 or larger.
Connecting the Chassis Ground
The inverter has a lug connector labelled
CHASSIS GND
on the rear panel
as shown in Figure 2-5. This lug is used to connect the chassis of the
inverter to your vehicle chassis or system’s DC grounding point as
required by regulations for some installations.
Do not use the DC ground lug for your AC grounding.
