Step 7: Connecting the DC Cables

Step 7: Connecting the DC Cables

CAUTION

Before making the final DC connection, check cable polarity at both the battery and the PROsine. Positive must be connected to positive; negative must be connected to negative. Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will damage the PROsine and void your warranty. This type of damage is easily detected.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Use only copper wire rated 75°C minimum. Make sure all DC connections are tight to a torque of 216–240 inch-pounds (24–27Nm). Loose connections will overheat.

Follow the procedure given below to connect the battery leads to the terminals on the DC end. The cables should be as short as possible and large enough to handle the required current, in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation. <Xref>Table 3-2 on page 7 specifies the minimum DC cable size and maximum fuse size for the PROsine.

Do not route your DC cables through an electrical distribution panel, battery isolator, or other device that will cause additional voltage drops.

Figure 3-7 shows the DC end for your reference.
