4.0 Installation
4.1 Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
a) Dry - Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
b) Cool - Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C (the cooler
the better).
c) Ventilated - Allow at least two inches of clearance around the inverter for air
flow. Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not
obstructed.
d) Safe - Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries or in
any compartment capable of igniting flammable liquids such as gasoline.
e) Inverter should be located within 10 feet of the batteries.
4.2 Hook-up and testing
To hook-up please follow these guidelines:
1. Unpack and inspect your Go Power! Inverter, check to see that the power
switch is in the OFF position. Set up your power output according to Section 10,
Configuring your Sine Wave.
2. Insert DC inverter cables to the power input terminals on the rear panel of the
power inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is negative (-).
Connect the cables into the terminals and tighten the terminal screw to clamp the
wires securely.
3. Connect the cable from the negative terminal of the inverter to the negative
terminal of the battery. Make a secure connection.
Caution!
Loose connections result in excessive voltage drop and may
cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
4. Before proceeding further, carefully check that the cable you have just
connected connects from the negative terminal of inverter to the negative output
terminal of the power source.
5. Install inverter fuse in positive lead. Fuse should be located within 12” of
battery. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
