Mounting your inverter

Installing the HI400

Ventilated	See the warning on page 15. Allow at least 5
	inches of clearance on each size of the
	inverter for air flow. Do not allow the
	ventilation openings on the unit to become
	obstructed. Make sure the compartment in
	which the inverter is installed allows airflow
	through the compartment.
Safe	See the warning on page 15. Do not install
	the inverter in the same compartment as
	batteries or in any compartment capable of
	storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
Close to battery	Avoid excessive cable lengths (these reduce
compartment	input and output power due to wire
and the AC	resistance). It is preferable to have lengthier
source and load	AC cables than DC cables, as the AC current
	is far lower than the DC. Use the
	recommended cable sizes.

	where it will be exposed to gases produced
	by the batteries. These gases are corrosive
	and prolonged exposure will damage the

The HI400 inverter must be mounted flat (for example, on or under a horizontal surface) in order to comply with safety agency requirements.

To mount your HI400 inverter:

1.Turn the On/Off switch on the inverter to the off position.

2.Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface, using four #10 pan head steel wood screw (5/8” long minimum) or #10 bolts inserted through the mounting holes in the flanges (running along the sides of the inverter).
