Follow these steps to make a direct battery connection:
1. Place the inverter on a flat surface.
2. Make sure that the unit is off by verifying the digital display is off.
3. Take the cables equipped with battery clamps on one end (Figure 7)
and place the ring terminals over the two cabling terminals on the
back of the inverter. (The cabling terminals are shown in Figure 3
and Figure 4.)
WARNING: Shock hazard
Batteries contain corrosive materials and present an electrical shock
hazard. To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and
clothing when you install the inverter or work with the batteries. Take
special care to ensure that metal tools and personal metal objects like
rings and bracelets do not contact the battery terminals.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity
Power connections of the 12 V DC battery to the Digital Inverter must
be positive to positive and negative to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in
the inverter and may permanently damage the unit. Damage caused by a
reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
