Polarity of leads is critical to avoid damage to the unit or
system. Check batteries and battery cables for correct polarity and
voltage.
Observe all National and Local Electric Codes when
connecting AC Power Connections.
Mounting location is critical to performance and life span of the
inverter. Heat and Moisture are the two worst enemies of any
electronic device. Therefore when choosing a mounting location,
consider the following requirements listed in order of importance:
Inverter must be sheltered from the elements. Select a clean, dry
location.
Inverter requires adequate ventilation for cooling. With proper
cooling, the inverter will operate efficiently and meet its published
ratings. All models can be mounted in several positions. Best
position, face down. Second best, horizontal. Third, vertical with face
up. Least preferred, upside down.
Inverter should be mounted as close to the battery as possible.
Shorter wire has less resistance, which translates to increased
efficiencies.
An in line fuse is recommended, to protect the battery and wiring to
the inverter. This fuse should be located very close to the battery
positive (+) terminal. To select appropriate size fuse, consult the
"Rated and Peak Current" table in appendix "A".
