To gain access to the DC wiring lugs of the inverter/charger, remove the wiring access cover
from the front of the unit (plate is screened with the “Guided Wave” trademark/logo), which
is held in place by two phillips-head screws.
A pair of large screw compression lugs for DC wiring are located in the compartment on the
far right. Use 1/4" flat blade screwdriver for loosening and tightening these terminals.
CAU-
TION:
Do not attempt to loosen or tighten these terminals when the DC wiring is connected
to a battery. There is a possibility of shorting through the screwdriver between the case and
the (+) terminal, which will cause a violent spark and possible injury.
DC wires are fed through the two access ports on the right-hand side of the unit labeled “(+)
POSITIVE” and “(-) NEGATIVE”. After the wires have been attached to the terminals, tighten
the cable strain relief securely with a phillips screwdriver to protect against any possible
loosening of the DC wires.
Install a properly sized and located DC fuse (as per ABYC recommendations cited above) in
the positive leg of the battery wiring, then attach the wires to the battery, carefully observing
correct polarity.
Note: It is normal to encounter a spark when connecting the final battery
wiring due to the initial charging of an internal input capacitor.
CAUTION:
A reverse polarity connection will result in damage to the inverter/charger which
is not covered under the warranty.
G) Charging Multiple Battery Banks
If desired, the charger may be wired to charge multiple battery banks. This can be accom-
plished using NEWMAR’s BI-100 Battery Integrator. The device acts as a “smart” switch,
connecting independent battery banks only when a charging voltage is present, then discon-
necting them for selective discharge. This allows you to also charge an engine start bank, for
instance, whenever external AC is present, but draw current only from the house or dedi-
cated inverter bank whenever the inverter is operating.
Note:
Standard diode-type isolators are not recommended for splitting the output of the
internal charger among multiple battery banks, as the voltage drop through the diodes will
result in chronic undercharging of the additional banks.
A separate BI-100 is required for each additional battery bank to be charged. Contact the
factory for more information on this product.
