Follow all the local regulations to install the inverter.
Please install the equipment in a location of dry, clean, cool temp with good ventilation.
Working temperature: ‐10℃‐40℃(-14℉to 104℉) maximum working temperature 40℃
Storage temperature: ‐40‐70℃ (-40℉to 158℉)
Relative Humidity: 0% to 95%, non-condensing
Cooling: Forced air
WARNING
The unit is to be installed so that it is not expected to be contacted by persons.
3.2 DC Wiring
AIMS recommends keeping the battery bank as close as possible to the inverter. The following table is a
suggested wiring option for applications using <10 feet of DC cable.
Please find the following minimum wire size. For applications using DC cable >10 feet, use a larger cable
size.
Inverter Power
DC Input voltage
Wire Gage
4KW
24Vdc
1 / 0 AWG
6KW
24Vdc
4 / 0 AWG
Performance of any product can be improved by thicker cable and shorter runs, so if in doubt, round up and
keep the length as short as possible.
For more wiring configurations for your specific system, please contact AIMS Power for more information.
*Installer to use protection not less than the short circuit current
WARNING
The torque rating range for DC terminal is 19.8NM-24.6NM, and the suggested torque rating is
22.5NM. Over torqueing may cause the bolt to break.
Additional flow protection must be added on the external battery box
In the event of reverse polarity, the unit could be totally destroyed and warranty voided!
When replacing batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
