3.Connect cables to the Power Input Terminalson right side panel of the inverter. The red terminals are positive
(+) and the black terminals are negative
4.Connect cables to the power source:
a.Connect each cable from the Negative(Black) Terminalsof inverter to the NegativeTerminal of the power source. Make a secure connection.
b.Connect each cable from the Positive(Red) Terminalsof the inverter to the PositiveTerminal of the power source (the battery’s main fuse or the battery selector switch, if you are using one). Make a secure connection.

Youmightobservea sparkwhen you make this connection, since currentcan flow to charge capacitorsin the inverter.
All power connections to your Cobra inverter must be Positiveto Positive and Negativeto Negative.
CAUTION Electrical installations must meet local and national wiring codes, and should be performed by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION Do not connect the inverter and another AC source (such as a generator or utility power) to the AC wiring at the same time. The inverter will be damaged if its output is connected to AC voltage from another source. Damage can even occur if the inverter is switched off.
CAUTION Do not connect the inverter to an AC branch circuit that has
CAUTION Loose connectors result in excessive voltage drop and may cause over heated wires and melted insulation.
CAUTION Reverse polarity connections (positive to negative) will blow internal fuses in the inverter and may permanentlydamagethe unit. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION We recommend a main fuse in the battery’s positive cable to protect against DC wiring short circuits (external to the inverter). The fuse should be as close to the battery as possible. We recommend a Buss Fuse
