Maintenance

3.To reconnect the cables:

a)Connect one end of the positive battery cable to the IP1012 AL.

b)Connect one end of the negative battery cable to the IP1012 AL.

WARNING: Possible popping sound and sparks

Follow steps c) and d) in sequence. If you switch the steps, you may hear a “popping” sound and see sparks when you make that connection to the negative terminal. If flammable fumes are present, explosion or fire may result.

c)Connect the other end of the positive battery cable to the positive terminal of the battery.

d)Connect the other end of the negative battery cable to the nega- tive terminal of the battery.

4.Tighten to a torque of 12 to 15 ft-lbs (+/-10%).

Note: If you have a DC Disconnect installed, you should close it before proceeding to the next step.

5.Check that the inverter is operating by enabling it from the remote switch as explained in “Using the Remote Switch” on page 2–9.

Replacing the Fuse

WARNING: Correct Fuse Type

To reduce the risk of fire and electrical hazards, replace the fuse only with a fuse of the same type and rating.

Using the wrong fuse type can damage the unit and void your warranty.

The inverter/charger external DC fuse, shown in Figure 1-1, protects the unit from causing wiring and battery damage due to over-current and from reverse polarity when connecting the unit to the battery. If the fuse blows for any reason, replace it with only the fuse types listed below.

•Littelfuse Mega® Fast Blow, 250 A, 32 V; part number 298250

•Bussmann® 250 A 48 V; part number AMG-250

Note: Additional fusing may be required seven (7) inches from the battery post, if the inverter is located away from the batteries with long cable runs.
