Recommended tools

 

-

 

Hand held crimping tool for terminal lugs 

* Mandatory 

-

 

Hollow punch or hole saw for metal 

-

 

Drill bit set for metal 

-

CAUTION! Before 

installation, make sure that the inverter is turned “OFF.” 

 

3.2

 

Where to install 

Your inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: 
 
-

 

Dry:  

Keep the inverter away from any water or moisture. 

 
-

 

Cool:  

Ambient air temperature should be between 32 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 30

o

 Celsius). 

 
-

 

Ventilated:  

Ensure that the unit is located in a well-ventilated compartment. At least 6 inches of clearance are 
required around the inverter for air flow. Verify that all ventilation openings on the unit (front and rear 
panels) are not obstructed. 

 

CAUTION! 

To avoid fire hazards and/or overheating, do not cover or obstruct any ventilation openings. Do not 
install the inverter in a zero clearance compartment. 

 

-

 

Safe: 

Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries, or in any compartment capable of 
storing flammable liquids (such as gasoline). Power inverters may produce sparks that can result in fire 
if exposed to flammable vapors. 

 
WARNING! 

 

This equipment contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To reduce the risk 

 

of fire or explosion, do not install in a compartment containing batteries or flammable 

 

materials, or in a location that requires ignition protected  equipment. 

 
-

 

Close to batteries: 

Install the inverter as close as possible to the batteries (but not in the same compartment) in order to 
minimize the cable length required to connect the inverter to the batteries. It is better and cheaper to run 
longer AC wire (between the inverter and your appliances) than DC cables (between the inverter and 
the batteries). 

 

3.3

 

Mounting the inverter 

When you have decided where to place it, mount the inverter on a flat surface using the mounting flanges. Mounting hardware 
should be corrosion resistant, and 1/4” or larger. The inverter may be mounted on a vertical surface (the fans’ opening must not 
point up or down) or on a horizontal surface. Upside down installation is not recommended, as it may put too much stress on the 
housing of your power inverter. 
 
If your inverter is equipped with a remote control, plug its cable into the remote switch jack on the front or rear panel of the 
inverter. 
 
Close to the inverter, drill two holes in the truck’s floor and install the two strain reliefs about 3 inches apart (Figure 3).
