Installing the HI400

Permanently connecting (hardwiring) the AC output

WARNING: Fire, shock, and energy hazards

Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and national electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output leads of the inverter to any incoming AC source.

To hardwire the AC output connections:

1.Remove the AC hardwire compartment cover. Three wires are located inside the wiring compartment as follows:

•Black – the AC output line conductor

•White – the AC output neutral conductor

•Red – the ignition lockout conductor (page 18)

WARNING: Shock hazard

Do not connect the ignition lockout wire (red) to AC circuits. See instructions for connecting on page 18.

2.Run No. 14 AWG 2-conductor-plus-ground cable through the cable clamp and into the AC wiring compartment.

3.Strip about 2 inches off the jacket of the AC cable.

4.Strip approximately ½ inch off the insulation of the black and white wires from the AC cable (if using the twist-on wire connectors provided). If you are providing your own connectors, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding strip length and use of the connectors.
