INSTALLATION

Ground Fault Circult Interrupters

To conform to NEC regulations, certain branch circuits must be equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Consult the code or a qualified marine electrician for details. Any such branch circuits must be protected by a branch circuit rated breaker consistent with the GFCI rating. Underwriters Laboratories has tested the following GFCI, and its use is recommended. Receptacle Type:

Pass & Seymour

Catalog Number 1591

Rated: 15 Amps at 120 Volts AC

Remote Control Wiring

If installing a remote panel, route the remote cable and connect to the Remote jack on the front of the unit. Refer to the Remote Control Panel or Link Owner’s Manual for more information.

TSC Temperature Sensor

If installing the TSC (Temperature Sensitive Charging) sensor, connect the ring terminal end to a battery post, complete the routing of the RJ11 cable (20 feet supplied) and connect the plug end to the TSC jack on the front of the unit

DC Wiring

DC wiring is generally very simple—the positive (+, may be red for identification) and negative (-, may be black or yellow for identification) cables from the inverter/charger terminal posts are connected to the house or auxiliary battery. Connection to the engine starter battery is not recommended.

High current will pass through the DC wiring. All wires must be properly sized and all connections clean and tight. It is recommended that the battery cable length does not exceed 10 feet.

Battery cables should be connected to the inverter/charger before any connections are made to the battery. Follow the battery cable hardware stackup diagram.

•Bolt the negative (-) battery cable with a 3/8'' ring terminal to the negative (black -) terminal assembly on the side of the inverter. Tighten the battery terminal bolts to a torque value between 160 inch-pounds and 180 inch- pounds (100 inch-pounds for bronze). Secure the cover on the negative terminal (found in the accessory package) before connecting the

positive cable.
