Installing the HI400

2.Route the lockout signal wire through the cable clamp and into the hardwire compartment.

3.Strip approximately ½ inch off the insulation of the red ignition lockout wire and the lockout signal wire (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.

4.Connect the lockout signal wire to the red ignition lockout wire provided in the hardwire compartment. Check to make sure the wires are making a good connection, and secure the twist-on wire connector with electrical tape.

5.Re-install the hardwire compartment cover plate.

6.Tighten the cable clamp so that the AC output cable and ignition lockout wiring are secured. Check to make sure the clamp is securing the overall jacket of the AC output cable (not the individual conductors), and that no wiring is being pinched in the corners of the clamp.

Connecting the DC cables

CAUTION

Before making the final DC connection, check cable polarity at both the battery and the inverter. Positive (+) must be connected to positive (+); negative (–) must be connected to negative (–).

Reversing the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cables will damage the inverter and void your warranty. This type of damage is easily detected.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Use only appropriately sized copper wire. Make sure all DC connections are tight. Loose connections will overheat.
