INSTALLATION

Bolt the positive (+) battery cable with 3/8'' ring terminal to the positive (red +) 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. Secure the cover on the positive terminal (found in the accessory package) before continuing the installation.

The negative (-) cable should be connected directly to the negative post of the house or auxiliary battery bank or the ground side of a current shunt. Tighten securely.

The positive (+) battery cable must be fused and connected to the positive post of the house or auxiliary battery bank, or through a selector switch to one or more battery banks.

A spark may be generated when the final battery connection is made. This is normal; do not be alarmed. However, do not make the final connection in the presence of flammable fumes.

If multiple batteries are used, the interconnecting jumper cables should be the same AWG as those connected to the inverter/charger.

If utilizing the echo-charge feature to charge starting or auxiliary battery banks, use 12 AWG to make the connection between the echo-charge output and the positive (+) terminal post of the auxiliary battery. Each output should be fused within 72 inches of the battery with a 20 ampere fuse.
