3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting
The power inverter should be installed in an environment that meets the following requirements:
1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter.
2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, the cooler the better.
3. Safe – Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where volatile
fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
4. Ventilated – Keep the inverter a distance (as least 25mm) away from surrounding objects.
Ensure the ventilation shafts on the rear and the bottom of the unit are not obstructed.
5. Dust – Do not install the Inverter in a dusty environments the dust can be inhaled into the unit
when the cooling fan is working.
6. Fused – A fuse must be fi tted between the battery and the Inverter.
7. Close to batteries – Avoid excessive cable lengths. Do not install the Inverter in the same
compartment as batteries.
8. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 3.2).
9. Do not mount the Inverter where it will be exposed to the gasses produced by the battery.
These gasses are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will damage the Inverter.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD! Before proceeding further, carefully check that the Inverter is NOT
connected to any batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical
sources. Do not connect the output terminals of the Inverter to an incoming AC source.
3.2 DC Wiring Connections (700W - 3000W)
Connect cables to the power input terminals on the rear panel of the inverter. The red terminal
represents positive POS(+) and the black terminal represents negative NEG(-). Insert the cables
into the terminals and tighten the screw to clamp the wires securely.
WARNING
Ensure all the DC connections are tight (torque to 11.7 – 13 Nm, 9 – 10 ft-lbs). Loose
connections may cause overheat and fi re.
WARNING
The installation of a fuse must be on a positive cable. Failure to place a fuse on “+”
cables running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter and
will void warranty.
