3. 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. Make 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). Make a secure connection.
You might observe a spark when you make this connection,
since current can flow to charge capacitors in the inverter.
All power connections to your CobraMarine
Power Inverter must be
Positive To Positive and Negative To Negative.

Connecting Cables
Power wire and wiring are very important to the performance of the inverter.
Because the inverter has a low voltage, high current input, low resistance wiring
is essential between the battery and inverter. This is so it can deliver the maximum
amount of energy to the load. Only use the cables provided with your power inverter.
To Connect the Cables Between the Inverter and the Battery:
1. Turn the On/Off Switch on the inverter to the Off position. If the
power source is a DC power supply, switch it Off as well.
2. Connect cable to the
Power Input Terminals on right side panel of
the inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal
is negative (-). Insert the ends of the cables onto the terminals and
tighten the screws to clamp the cables safely.
