Installation Requirements 

The inverter must be installed in an area that meets all  

of the following requirements:
A.  Dry  

Do not place in an area where water can drip  

or splash on the inverter.

B.  Cool 

Ambient air temperature should be between 30°F  

and 105°F (0°C and 40°C). The cooler the better.

C.  Ventilate 

Allow at least one inch (three cm) of clearance around 

the inverter for proper airflow. Make sure that ventilation 

openings on the ends of the unit are not obstructed.

D. Safe 

Do not install the inverter in the same compartment  

as a battery or in any compartment that contains  

flammable liquids such as gasoline.

E.  Close to Battery 

Install unit as close to battery as possible (without 

being in the same compartment) to minimize the  

length of cable required to connect the inverter to  

the battery. It is better and cheaper to run longer  

AC wires than longer DC wires (cables).

CAUTION To avoid fire, do not cover or  

obstruct ventilation openings. Do not install inverter 

in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may 

result.
CAUTION The inverter must only be connected to 

batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts.  

It will not work with a 6 volt battery, and will be 

damaged if it is connected to a 16 volt battery.

WARNING This unit contains components  

which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent  

fire or explosion, do not install in compartments 

containing a battery or flammable materials,  

or in a location which requires ignition  

protected equipment.
WARNING This unit is suitable for installation  

in negative ground applications only. Do not 

attempt to install to a positive ground application.

Mounting 

To mount your inverter:
1.
  Place the inverter on a flat surface with the  

mounting bracket against the mounting surface.

2.  Mount to secure surface using mounting hardware  

that is corrosion resistant (not included).

The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically. 

If mounted vertically, neither end of the unit should be at 

the top (to avoid foreign material from falling or settling 

into the unit).
