Power Consumption
•
For each piece of equipment you will be operating from the inverter,you must determine the battery’sreserve capacity (how long the battery can deliver a specific amount of current — in automotivebatteries,usually 25 ampere)
or

Example –
To determinethe battery ampere-hour capacityyou require:
1. Determine how many watts each piece of equipment consumes. This can normally be found on the product label. If only the current draw is given, multiply the current draw by 115 to get the watt consumption.
2. Estimate the time (in hours) that each piece of equipment will be running between battery charging cycles.
3. Calculate the total watt-hours of energy consumption

(power x operating time) using the average power consumption and the total estimated running time (in hours). Power x OperatingTime =

GroundWiring
•
There is a screw on the rear panel for ChassisGround. This is to connect the chassis of the inverter to ground.
The ChassisGround Screw must be connected to a grounding point, which will vary depending on where the unit is installed. Use a #8 AWG copper wire (preferablywith green/yellowinsulation)to connect the chassis ground screw to the grounding point.
RemoteInSwitcha vehicle: Connectthe ChassisGroundto the chassisof the vehicle.
In a boat: Connect to the Boat GroundingSystem.
In a fixedlocation:Connectthe ChassisGroundScrew to earth groundby connectingto a ground rod (a metal rod pounded into the earth) or other proper service entrance ground.
