Installing the HI400

Checks prior to initial power-up

Before powering up your inverter, ensure these conditions are met:

On/Off power switch is in the off position.

Positive (+) battery cable is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal.

Negative (–) battery cable is connected to the negative (–) battery terminal.

Battery voltage is within the proper range for this unit (10.0 – 15.0 Vdc).

DC Fuse is intact (not blown).

Starting up and testing your installation

WARNING

The front panel power switch does not disconnect DC or

AC input power to the unit.

To turn on the HI400:

1.Turn the On/Off power switch on the front panel to the on position. The green ON INVERTER LED indicator illuminates.

2.Plug a load into the GFCI receptacle on the front panel. Apply a load of 400 watts or less.

3.Test the transfer feature by plugging the AC input cord into the shorepower source receptacle.

The inverter will transfer with the power switch in either the on or off position.
