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.

Turn 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 (-). Insert the ends of the cables onto the terminals and tighten the screws to clamp the cables safely.

Connect Power Source

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.
