3.3.3 PREPARING THE DC CABLES
Go Power! supplies 2 ring lugs with the GP-SW1500TS which can be used for the Inverter end
of the DC Cables. Source the correct ring terminals for the batteries you are using.
• Cut the negative and positive cables to the required length.
• Strip off enough insulation so you can install the ring lugs provided.
• Use the correct crimp connector to install the ring lugs.
• Attach the connectors to both ends of both cables. Make sure no stray wire
strands protrude from the connectors.
3.3.4 DC CABLE CONNECTIONS
When installing the battery cable ring lug onto the GP-SW1500TS DC terminal and the battery
post - do not put anything between the ring lug and the metal surface. Incorrectly installed
hardware causes a high resistance connection which could lead to poor Inverter/Charger
performance and may melt the cable and terminal connections. Tighten the terminal connections
securely (torque to 9 – 10 ft-lbs, 11.7 – 13 Nm) and periodically check the connections to make
sure they remain tight and secure.
To help prevent seizing and corrosion around the terminals the use of an anti-seize lubricant
is highly recommended. Apply the antioxidant grease or spray after all the connections are
made and tightened.
