CAUTION: Electrical installa- tions must meet local and national wiring codes, and should be performed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION: Do not connect the inverter and another AC source

If the cable has too much voltage drop, the inverter may shut down when drawing higher currents because voltage at the inverter may drop below 10 volts. If you must use longer cables choose thicker cables, such as #2 AWG, and trim the ends of the cable to fit the terminals.

Strip back the insulation about 1/2 inch (1.25cm)

Warning: Do not operate the inverter without connecting it to ground. Electrical shock hazard may result.

(such as a generator or utility power) to the AC wiring at the same time. The inverter will be damaged if its output is con- nected to AC voltage from another source. Damage can even occur if the inverter is switched Off.

CAUTION: Do not connect the inverter to an AC branch circuit that has high-power con- sumption loads. It will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and other electrical appliances that con- sume more than 1000 watts.

on the end of the cable that connects to the inverter, exposing the bare cooper conductor. The other end of the cable that connects to bat- tery must be terminated with a battery terminal that clamps to the post on the battery.

There is a screw on the rear panel labeled Chassis Ground. This is to connect the chassis of the inverter to ground. The ground terminal in the AC outlet on the right side panel of the inverter is connected to the chassis.

The Chassis Ground screw must be connected to a grounding point, which will vary depending on where the unit is installed. Use a #8 AWG copper wire (preferably with green/yellow insulation) to connect the chassis ground screw to the ground- ing point.

•In a vehicle, connect the Chassis Ground to the chassis of the vehicle.

•In a boat, connect to the boat grounding system.

•In a fixed location, connect the Chassis Ground screw to earth ground by connecting to a ground rod (a metal rod pounded into the earth) or other proper service entrance ground.
