Inverter Installation
Connect the DC Cables
1. Make sure the inverter’s ON/OFF switch is in the Off position.
2. Working on the inverter’s positive DC input terminal first, attach one
end of the positive DC input cable to the positive DC input terminal on
the inverter.
3. Attach a fuse holder (with an installed fuse) to the other end of the
positive battery cable.
Alternatively, if you are using a circuit breaker, install the circuit
breaker on the positive terminal of the battery.
4. Attach the fused end on the positive DC input cable to the positive
terminal of the battery.
Alternatively, if you are using a circuit breaker, attach the other end of
the positive DC input cable to the circuit breaker on the battery.
5. Working on the inverter’s negative DC input terminal, attach one end
of the negative DC input cable to the negative DC input terminal on
the inverter.
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding, make sure that your DC input cables are
properly terminated with ring connectors appropriate for the size of the
cable you are using. Have your cables terminated at the store of purchase.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over tighten the nut on the inverter terminal. Damage
to the inverter terminal may result. However, loose connections can cause
excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted
insulation. A torque of 6.3–6.6 foot pounds (8.5–9.0 Nm) is sufficient.
Use the above guidelines when tightening the nuts on both the inverter and
battery terminals.
DAMAGE FROM A REVERSE POLARITY CONNECTION
DC power connections to the inverter must be positive to positive and
negative to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (connecting positive to negative) will blow
an internal fuse inside the inverter and can cause permanent damage to
the inverter. This internal fuse is not user-replaceable.
Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by the
warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE HAZARD
Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before proceeding to
connect the negative DC input cable to the battery. It is always possible
that flammable fumes are present, so exercise extreme caution.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
