Installing the HI400

In an RV or vehicle installation, this will usually be the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus.

Connecting the AC input cord

WARNING: Shock hazard

Connect the AC input cord only to a properly grounded standard 120 Vac, 15 A receptacle. If the correct type of receptacle is not available, have an electrician install one.

To connect the AC input cord:

Plug the AC input cord (located at the back of the inverter) into a properly grounded 120 Vac, 15 A receptacle connected to an external shorepower source such as a utility grid or a generator.

Note: Connecting the AC input cord to the AC output receptacle on the HI400 GFCI version will not power loads and will cause the unit to malfunction. There should not be any damage.

When the shorepower AC source is supplied, the HI400 will transfer the loads to the shorepower source and turn off the inverter.

When the shorepower AC source is disconnected or fails, the HI400 will automatically turn on the inverter and transfer the loads to inverter power.
