1.
Ventilation window
Do not obstruct; allow at least 1 inch for airflow.
2.
Battery terminals
Connect to 12V / 24V / 48V battery or other 12V / 24V / 48V power source. (+) is positive, (-) is
negative.
WARNING!
Reverse polarity connection will blow internal fuse and may damage
inverter permanently.
G. Pre-Installation Information
Before installing your inverter, please make sure that you have appropriately- sized batteries. A
battery that is too small will not allow the inverter to perform to its full specification.
H. Electrical Requirements
DC input voltage of the inverter must be the same as the battery bank voltage.
DC cabling must be connected to the correct polarity terminals of the battery bank
(Red = Positive, Black = Negative).
DO NOT extend the DC cable length to the inverter unless you are prepared to increase the
diameter of the cable. If this is necessary consult your supplier / installer for advice.
DO NOT connect AC power to the output of the inverter: THIS WILL DAMAGE THE INVERTER.
Between the inverter and any generator / mains supply, install a double-pole “break-before-make”
changeover switch, switching both line and neutral.
I. Installation Requirements
1.
Where to install—The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
•
Dry– Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter, free of salt or moisture-laden air.
•
Temperature – Ambient air temperature should be between 0
℃
and 40
℃
.
•
Safety–Do not install in a battery compartment or other areas where flammable fumes may
exist, such as fuel storage or engine compartments.
•
Ventilation–Allow at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for airflow. Ensure the
ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not obstructed. The installation site
should not be susceptible to temperatures in excess of 50
°
C.
•
Dust-free–Do not install the inverter in an environment where either dust, wood particles or
other filings/shavings are present. These can pull into the unit blocking the cooling fan.
•
Close to battery/batteries–Avoid excessive cable lengths (Mount the inverter between one
and two meters from the batteries) but do not install the inverter over or in the same
compartment as batteries. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes. Do not mount the
inverter where it will be exposed to the gases produced by the battery. These gases are very
corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
•
Wall-mount—Inspection and operation are more convenient if the unit is mounted at head
height and the DC cables hang naturally out of the way.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard!
Before proceeding Further, ensure that the Inverter is NOT connected
to any Batteries, and that all wiring is Disconnected from any electrical
Sources. Do not connect the output Terminals of the Inverter to an
incoming AC sources.
