Power Drive 2000 manual Connect the Power Cables to the Inverter

Page 5

Connect the Power Cables to the Inverter:

Connect cable to the Power Input Terminals on input end of the inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is negative (-). Unscrew the terminal on the inverter and install the appropriate color (black to black and red to red) ring-terminal of the cables and tighten the screws to clamp the wires securely.

NOTE: It is a good idea to check and tighten these screws from time to time. They can become loose by vibrations or thermal cycling. Loose connectors result in excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted insulation.

Connect the Power Cables to the Battery:

1.All four cables must be connected.

2.Connect the cable from the Negative Terminal (Black) of inverter to the Negative Terminal of the battery.

3.Connect the cable from the Positive Terminal (Red) of the inverter to the Positive Terminal of the battery. You might observe a spark when you make this connection since current can flow to charge capacitors in the inverter.

CAUTION: Reversing the polarity of these cables (positive to negative) will result in damage to the RPPD2000 and will void the warranty.

4.The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. Press the Power Button to on. If several loads are to be operated by the inverter, turn them on separately, after the inverter has been turned on. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents required for all the loads at once.

CAUTION:

Connect the RPPD2000 to batteries with a normal output of 12-volts DC only. 6-volt batteries do not supply enough voltage, and a 24-volt battery supplies too much voltage and will damage the RPPD2000. Never work on the AC wiring without first physically disconnecting the DC connections.
