IMPORTANT:
When fully tightened, the Cable Lug should not be able to rotate around the
Inverter connection post. Check and tighten the end caps periodically as they can become
loose from vibrations or thermal cycling.
6) Connect cables to the power source:
a) Connect the cable from the Negative (Black) Terminal of inverter to the Negative
Terminal of the power source; ensure a secure connection.
b) Connect the cable from the Positive (Red) Terminal of the inverter to the Positive
Terminal of the power source (the battery’s main fuse or the battery selector switch, if
you are using one); ensure a secure connection.

Permanent AC Connection*
*Not available on all models
WARNING:
If you are making a permanent AC connection to the inverter, make sure that the AC
wiring is performed before any DC wiring is done. (DC hook-up may energize internal
components and create an electrical shock hazard).
1. Remove the wiring compartment cover to expose the terminal blocks
2. Strip about 2” from the jacket of AC output cable
a. AC output cable may be solid or stranded but must have three conductors up
to 10AWG each
3. Strip approximately 3/8” off the insulation to expose the conductor
4. Run AC cable through the strain relief clamp and into wiring area
5. Insert the Ground, Line, and Neutral wires into the corresponding terminals
