OPERATION
Making the Connection.
This inverter is designed to connect to your 12 volt battery by the supplied #8 gauge cables.
1.Make certain that the inverter’s rocker 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.
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 to the Positive (+) terminal on the power source.
OPERATION
Note:
•Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage which may cause damage to the wires and insulation.
•Failure to make proper connection between the inverter and the power source will result in reverse polarity. Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the Whistler warranty.
•Making the connection between the Positive (+) ter- minals may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to the capacitors in the inverter. This is a normal occurrence. Due to the potential for sparking, how- ever, it is extremely important that both the inverter and the 12 volt battery be well removed from any pos- sible source of flammable fumes or gases.
Failure to heed this warning could result in fire or explosion.
•If the supplied cables are too short to allow for place- ment of the inverter in a desired location, the inverter may be connected to the power source using a #4
wire, up to 12’ - #2 wire for longer lengths. The steps outlined for making the connection and the related safety precautions remain unchanged.
6.Turn the inverter rocker switch to the ON (I) position. The LED Indicator Light should glow GREEN confirm- ing that there is power running to the inverter.
