INSTALLATION

Where to install

The power inverter should be installed in a location that

meets the following requirements:

a. Dry- Do not allow water to drip or splash onto the

inverter

b. Cool- Ambient air temperature should be between

0C and 40C, the cooler the better

c. Ventilation- Allow at least 2 inches of clearance

around the inverter for airflow. Ensure the ventilation

openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not

obstructed.

d. Safety- Do not install the inverter in the same

compartment as batteries or in any compartment

capable of storing flammable liquids such as

gasoline.

Cables

DC to AC inverters requires high amperage/low

voltage DC power to low amperage/high voltage

AC power. To operate properly connect inverter DC

input terminals direct to battery with heavies wire

available see chart below:

Grounding

The power inverter has a lug on the rear panel marked

“chassis ground”. This is to connect the chassis of the

power inverter to the ground. The ground terminals in

the AC outlets on the front panel of the inverters are also

connected to the ground lug.

The chassis ground lug must be connected to the

grounding point, which will vary depending on where the

power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the

chassis ground to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat,

connect to the boat’s grounding systems. In a fixed

location, connect the chassis ground lug to earth.

The neutral (common) conductor the power inverter AC

output circuit is connected to the chassis ground.

Therefore, when the chassis is connected to the ground,

the neutral conductor will also be grounded. This

conforms to the national electrical code requirements the

separately derived AC sources (such as inverters and

generators) have their neutral tied to ground in the same

way that the neutral conductor from the utility line to

ground at AC breaker panel.

Caution

The negative DC input of the power inverter is

connected to the chassis. Do not install the power

inverter in a positive ground DC system. As positive

ground DC system has the positive terminal of the

battery connected to the chassis of the vehicle or to the

ground point.
