INSTALLATION - DC
CONNECTING THE BATTERY
CHASSIS GROUNDING
The inverter must be grounded properly before operating. Failure to do so
will increase the risk of damage or injury.
The Inverter’s dedicated grounding point can be found on the mounting
flange of the unit, close to the negative terminal.
Ground the unit using a cable with a minimum of 4mm² copper conductor
by screwing the cable into the inverter’s grounding point. The other end of
the cable should be attached to an appropriate earthing point – this may be
the vehicle frame or the battery’s negative terminal if it has been grounded.
1. Before proceeding, ensure that you have the appropriate-sized cables and fuses outlined earlier in this
manual. Make sure that you’ve also read the power isolation requirements found on page 10.
2. Remove the inverter’s plastic terminal covers by loosening the screws at the top and bottom of the covers.
Thread these covers over the top of the leads you’ll be using to connect to the inverter.
3. Next, remove the nuts and washers from the inverter’s terminals.
4. The positive and negative cables should then be fastened to their respective input terminals. Connect the
positive lead first, by threading the cable eye and washers over the bolt, then fasten it with your nut so it’s
secure. Repeat this process with the negative lead.
5. Now, fasten the inverter terminal covers back onto the inverter.
6. These cables should then be connected to the battery/DC power source. Fasten them first to the positive
terminal, then the negative. Ensure that the positive lead has an appropriately sized fuse placed close to
the battery.
