UNDERSTANDING CONTROLS AND FEATURES
MOUNTING THE INVERTER
Your
inverter should not be mounted under the hood of a vehicle.
If installing in a vehicle, choose a dry, cool, ventilated area as close to the battery as practical. Before drilling
any mounting holes, make sure that there are no wires, fuel lines or tanks directly behind the surface to be
drilled. To mount the inverter:
1.
Inverter must be off.
2.
The inverter should be mounted horizontally.
3.
Position the inverter against the mounting surface and mark locations of the mounting screw openings.
4.
Remove the inverter and drill four mounting holes.
5.
Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant fasteners sized #10 or larger.
CONNECTING THE INVERTER
This inverter has two DC cable connections, one positive and one negative. The order of steps in the
following procedure minimizes the danger of sparking near the battery bank.
1.
Prepare all cable set ends with ring terminals at the battery ends.
2.
Install one fuse holder with fuse in the pos (+) cable close to the battery bank end.
3.
Make sure the inverter is off
4.
Ensure all appliance cords or extension cords are disconnected from the inverter.
5.
Connect an appropriate, stranded, insulated wire to the enclosure ground terminal and connect the free
end of the wire to the vehicle’s chassis or any other ground point.
6.
Connect the unfused cable to the neg (-) terminal of the battery bank.
7.
Connect the neg (-) cable to the inverter’s neg (-) terminal.
8.
Insulate the end of the cable to be connected to the pos (+) inverter terminal.
9.
Connect the fused cable to the battery bank pos (+) terminal.
10.
Connect the pos (+) cable end to the pos (+) inverter terminal.
