Connect Ground: Using a #8 AWG wire or larger directly connect the Main Ground Lug to the vehicle’s chassis or earth ground. See the

Feature Identification section to locate the Main Ground Lug on your specific Inverter/Charger model. All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances.

Connect Fuse: NEC (National Electrical Code) article 551 requires that you connect all of your Inverter/Charger’s positive DC Terminals directly to a UL-listed fuse(s) and fuse block(s) within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your Inverter/Charger’s nameplate. See diagrams on page 9 for proper fuse placement.

WARNING! • Failure to properly ground your Inverter/Charger to a vehicle’s chassis or earth ground may result in a lethal electrical shock hazard.

Never attempt to operate your Inverter/Charger by connecting it directly to output from an alternator rather than a battery or battery bank.

Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.

Vehicular

Your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or batteries—12 Volts in most vehicular applications.

It is possible to connect your Inverter/Charger to the main battery within your vehicle’s electrical system. In most vehicles, the Inverter/Charger will be connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive system to prevent possible draining of the main battery.
