Installation

Tools Required

Wire cutters/strippers

Torque wrenches

Assorted insulated screwdrivers

DVM or Voltmeter

Mounting

It is easier for two people to install the GFX inverter due to its weight.

The unit must be secured with appropriate fasteners to a sturdy mounting surface capable of supporting its weight. OutBack cannot be responsible for damage if inadequate fasteners are used.

The unit has four mounting holes, one in each corner. Use fasteners in all four corners for a secure installation.

Due to the variance in other mounting methods, OutBack only endorses the use of FLEXware or previous versions of its mounting plate using M6 x 20 mm machine screws, one per corner. Follow the instructions with each mounting system.

If mounting the inverter on other surfaces such as plywood, wall studs, or masonry, use appropriate fasteners to support its weight. OutBack cannot be responsible for damage to the product if it is attached with inadequate fasteners.

Mount and secure each component before attaching any wiring.

When the inverter is used with other metal chassis, make sure that all chassis are grounded appropriately. (See the grounding instructions on page 18.) Grounding other chassis may involve metal-to-metal contact, or separate ground wires.

IMPORTANT:

If using an OutBack FLEXware Mounting Plate, avoid large air gaps behind the plate. These can result in louder mechanical noise during heavy inverting or charging.
