Installing the Inverter/Charger

Safe

Locate the inverter/charger away from battery in a

 

separate well ventilated compartment. Do not

 

install the inverter/charger in any compartment

 

containing flammable gases or liquids like gasoline.

Close to

The length and size of your DC cables will affect

battery

performance. Use the DC cables recommended in

compartment

Table 3 on page 11. The unit should not be installed

 

in the battery compartment due to the possible

 

presence of explosive hydrogen gas from the

 

batteries.

Protected from

Never place the inverter/charger directly above the

battery acid

batteries—gases from battery will corrode and

and gases

damage the inverter/charger. If the inverter/charger

 

is installed in a compartment above the batteries,

 

make sure there is a solid, gas-impermeable wall

 

dividing the two compartments.

 

Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/

 

charger or its wiring when filling the batteries or

 

reading their specific gravity.

Orientation

To meet regulatory requirements, the Freedom SW

 

2000 must be mounted in one of the approved

 

mounting orientation. See Figure 1 on page 18.
