4 Connecting the 300 Inverter
This section explains how to connect the 300 Inverter.
Choosing a Location
For the best performance, choose a location that is:
•Dry Do not expose the inverter to water drip or spray.
•Cool Operate the inverter in ambient temperatures between 0° C and 40° C (32° F and 100° F). Keep it away from heating vents and direct sunlight.
•Well ventilated For proper cooling, allow at least 5 cm (2 in.) of clearance around the inverter.
•Clean and free of dust and dirt Choose a location that is free of any debris that could get into the inverter.
•Protected from battery gases Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to battery gases. These are very corrosive and will damage the inverter.
Fastening the Inverter to a Mounting Surface
For temporary or portable use, place the inverter on a flat surface like a table or the floor of your vehicle.
For a permanent installation, use four screws to attach the inverter’s mounting flanges to an appropriate surface.
Note: Local and national electrical codes that apply to your installation may require that you permanently mount the inverter if you make permanent electrical connections and may disallow permanent mounting if you make a temporary electrical connection.
