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.
On/Off Switch to Off
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

3. Connect cable to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

NOTE If the inverter is to be used at levels above 150 watts for extended periods of time, a direct connection to the battery is recommended. Do not use the cigarette cord for loads higher than 150 watts. Please contact your local dealer or customer assistance for the proper cord for direct to battery connections.
CAUTION Reverse polarity connections (positive to negative) will blow internal fuses in the inverter and may permanently damage the unit. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION Remove any jewelry (watch, ring, etc.). Be careful not to short circuit the battery with any metallic object (wrench, etc.).
WARNING You may observe a spark when making the connection because current can flow to charge the capacitors in the inverter. Do not make this connection in the presence of flammable fumes. Explosion or fire may result. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection.
