In a stationary, land based installation, the earth terminal should be
connected to a metal earthing stake driven into the ground. If the battery
system powering the inverter does not have a connection to ground, one of
the battery terminals (commonly the negative terminal), should also be
connected to the earthing stake.
In a vehicle where the inverter is wired directly to the battery, the earth
terminal is simply connected to the vehicle chassis. If the inverter is to be used
in a vehicle on a temporary basis, and will be powered via the cigarette
lighter socket in the vehicle, the earth terminal should be connected via a
short link to either the negative or positive DC input terminal of the inverter,
depending on whether the vehicle has a negative or positive chassis
connection. Most modern vehicles have a negative chassis connection.
However when using the inverter to power equipment used outside the
vehicle, an earthing stake should be used, as described above.
In a boat, the grounding terminal should be connected to the existing
grounding system, which may be the hull of the craft, or a network of ground
wires.
Cable installation must be the correct type for the environment.
• Position the inverter as far away as possible from the television, the
antenna, and the antenna cable. Use an extension cable if
necessary.
GROUNDING CONNECTION
WARNING: Before using this inverter you must provide a ground
connection.
On the rear panel of the inverter is a terminal fitted with a screw. This terminal
is connected to the case of the inverter and also to the earth terminal of the
AC output socket. The use of this terminal will depend on your particular
installation. In any installation, heavy duty insulated wire should be used for
this connection.
