• Always check for existing electrical, plumbing, or other areas of
potential damage BEFORE drilling or cutting into walls.
• If installing this device in a boat, RV, or truck, ensure the
conductors passing through walls, bulkheads, or other structural
members are protected to minimize insulation damage such as
cha
fi
ng—which can be caused by vibration or constant rubbing.
•
Do not mount the AGS controller in a closed battery compartment,
or in an area
where water
or any other liquid can enter the AGS
and cause shorting or corrosion.
• The AGS should be wired to not interfere with your AC’s controls
or the manual start/stop switches on your generator.
