Installation

Accessory Wiring

The AC Wiring Compartment Board has ports for both the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) and the system display. (The system display port is labeled MATE/HUB.)

If a HUB is in use, it occupies the inverter’s

MATE/HUB port.

See the Operator’s Manual for more information on the RTS.

When a HUB occupies the inverter’s MATE/HUB port, the system display connects directly to the HUB.

Inverters plug into ports 1 and above. Charge controllers and other devices plug into additional ports after the last inverter is connected. See Stacking on page 27 for information on connecting inverters. See the HUB manual for other devices.

The INVERTER ON/OFF jumper bridges two pins. This jumper (JP1) parallels the two INVERTER ON/OFF terminals on the Control Wiring Terminal Block. If either set of connections is closed, the inverter is ON. (Because the jumper is factory-installed, the inverter usually remains ON unless given a command by the system display.)

Jumper On

Jumper Off

Removing the jumper will turn the inverter OFF. To remove the jumper, use long-nose pliers or a similar tool.

Once the plastic INVERTER ON/OFF jumper has been removed, the INVERTER ON/OFF terminals on the Control Wiring Terminal Block can be used to wire a manual on/off switch.
