Battery-Powered Systems Installation Guidelines

Installing the Inverter Controls

The inverter controls should be mounted in an easily accessible place, probably the same area in which you will mount the HVAC controls (Fig. 5). Consider first the area at the head of the bed (driver’s side of the truck). Usually the truck’s HVAC controls are mounted here and provide a wire chase for your use.

If you are installing in a day cab, and the inverter controls consist of a switch that measures 3/4" x 1 1/2", then you can remove the switch from the panel and install it into an empty dash switch location.

If the cables need to be extended, use conductors of the same size. Connections that are outside should be at least butt-connected and covered in outside-rated shrink tube. Waterproof plugs are also a good method.
