Installation

➢Marine: Connect the CHASSIS GND screw to the boat’s DC grounding bus or the engine’s negative bus using the recommended copper wire that is bare or has insulation rated at 90º C.

Chassis Ground Screw

Xantrex recommends that you attach the cable to the chassis ground screw with a ring terminal. This procedure will ensure that the wire does not slip off the chassis ground screw.

To connect the cable to the chassis ground screw:

1.Make sure the inverter’s On/Off switch is in the Off position.

2.Remove chassis ground screw and star washer using #2 Phillips screwdriver.

3.Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) of insulation from one end of each cable.

4.Attach the ring connector that will join the cable to the chassis ground screw. The connector you use must create a permanent, low-resistance connection. (See “Materials” on page 3–15.)

5.Fit the chassis ground screw through the star washer and the ring connector back into the screw opening.

6.Tighten the chassis ground screw.
