Installing the TS400
To connect the DC cables:
Connect the DC cables as shown in Figure
1.Switch the On/Standby switch to the Standby (
) position.
2.Route the DC cables from the battery bank to the inverter. See “Step 6: Routing the DC Cables” on page
3.Install a DC fuse and Disconnect or a DC circuit breaker in the positive side of the circuit within 18 inches of the battery.
This protects your battery and wiring in case of accidental shorting. (See “DC Fuse and Disconnect or DC Circuit Breaker” on page
4.Connect one connector on the POSITIVE (+) cable to the POSITIVE DC terminal on the inverter. Tighten the nut to a torque of
5.Connect the other connector to the positive (+) terminal DC fuse and Disconnect or to the DC circuit breaker. Use a wrench to tighten the connection according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Test that the cable is secure.
6.Attach a short DC cable from the unconnected end of the DC fuse and Disconnect or DC circuit breaker. Tighten appropriately.
7.Observing polarity carefully, connect the other end of the fused cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery. Tighten this connection to the battery manufacturer’s recommended torque.
8.Connect one connector on the NEGATIVE
9.Check that the polarity of the DC connections is correct: positive (+) on the inverter is connected to the positive (+) on the battery, and negative
10.Connect the other connector of the NEGATIVE
11.Use a wrench to tighten the nut to a torque of
