Before testing your installation, ensure these conditions are met:

❐Chassis and AC grounds are properly installed.

❐AC input connections and AC output connections are wired correctly on the terminal block and not reversed.

❐Positive (+) battery cable is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal through the DC fuse and disconnect switch or DC circuit breaker.

❐Negative (–) battery cable is connected to the negative (–) battery terminal.

❐Battery voltage is within the proper range for this unit (11–15 volts DC).

❐DC disconnect switch or breaker is turned off.

❐AC input and output breakers are turned off.

❐All connections are tight.
