CABLE INFORMATION
Regardless of the wire gauge selected to make the connec- tions to the battery, we recommend use of an "O Ring Adapter." Use of #0 gauge wire to make the connections to the inverter may require a "0 to 4 Gauge Adapter." Both adapters are available through electronic supply stores including Radio Shack. Radio Shack part number is listed below:
O Ring Adapter: | RSU11538139 |
2000 Series
When the inverter and the battery are set up within four feet of each other, use a minimum of #2 gauge wire to make the connections. Within four to six feet, use two #0 gauge wire. At distances of more than six feet, use two #0 gauge wires connected in parallel to the battery. This connection will require eight O Ring Adapters as referenced above. Alternatively, use #00 (2/0) gauge wire with the appropriate adapters. These #00 gauge wire adapters are available through most electronic supply stores.
OPERATION
Making the Connection.
1.Make certain that the Power switch is in the OFF (O) position.
2.Connect the cables to the power input terminals at the rear of the inverter and tighten the screws to make a secure connection. Do not use tools to tighten these screws.
(To make these connections on the 2000 series, remove the supplied nut at each terminal on the inverter, install the wire connectors flush with the metal backing plates and refasten the nuts securely. Do not over tighten these nuts).
3.Connect the cable from the (BLACK) Negative
4.Confirm that the cable you have just installed is prop- erly connected. Specifically, make certain that the cable is connected to the Negative
5.Connect the cable from the (RED) Positive (+) terminal on the inverter (red on all series) to the Positive (+) ter- minal on the power source.
