long cable length is required.
Chassis Grounding Cable Size:
Important: The unit is grounded through the Chassis Ground (ground stud) located near the DC
Input terminal and the chassis of the unit has to be grounded properly before use.
•
For Marine application, the DC grounding cable size may be one size smaller than the
minimum size conductor required for the DC current-carrying conductors and the conductor is
no smaller than #10AWG.
•
For Recreational Vehicle or Caravan application, the unit has to be grounded to the vehicle
chassis with a minimum #8 AWG copper conductor.
Installing the Power Inverter System
WARNING
:
Electrical Shock Hazard
The unit ‘On/Off’ switch does not disconnect the DC power from the battery. Use the DC
Disconnect Switch or disconnect the DC input cables to disconnect the DC power from the
battery before working on any circuits connected to the unit. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death or
serious injury.
Installation:
•
Choose an appropriate mounting
location.
•
For indoor use only, the unit can be
mounted in any direction except with
the DC Input panel facing downwards.
•
Use the mounting template on the
right to mark the positions of the
mounting screws.
•
Drill the 4 mounting holes and place
the Power Inverter in position and
fasten the unit to the mounting
surface.
Important
: Field wiring DC terminals tightening torque 12-13 Nm
Chassis Grounding Connection:
DANGER:
The unit chassis has to be grounded properly. Never operate the Power
Inverter without proper grounding. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
•
Connect the grounding cable’s ring terminal to the unit ground screw.
•
Connect the other side of the cable to the common grounding point.
DC Input Connection:
CAUTION
: Reversing the DC Input terminal will damage the unit and it cannot be
repaired. Damage caused by reverse polarity connection is not covered by the warranty.
•
Connect the negative DC input cable between the Inverter DC negative terminal and battery
negative terminal.
•
Make sure the DC Disconnect Switch is in the OFF position.
•
Connect a positive DC input cable between the inverter DC positive terminal and one terminal
of the Disconnect Switch.
•
Connect another DC input cable between the other terminals of the Disconnect Switch to one
side of the terminal of the fuse holder.
•
Connect another DC input cable between the other terminal of the fuse holder and the battery
positive terminal.
•
Install the selected fuse to the fuse holder.
Remote Switch (optional) Connection:
•
Insert the Remote Switch accessory (RM1201-00) to the RJ11 ‘Remote Switch Port’ located
