Do not over-torque or overtighten the terminals. This could potentially damage the unit.

Refer to the technical specifications for maximum wire sizes on the controller and for the
maximum amperage going through wires.

z
Ensure the inverter is in the OFF position before connecting to anything.
z
Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as the battery bank because it could
serve as a potential fire hazard.
z
Never mount the inverter vertically on a vertical surface since it would present a hazard
for the fan opening, undermining cooling the inverter.
Plan an Installation Site
Follow the guidelines below:
z
Cool, dry, well-ventilated area
The inverter must be installed in a site where the fans are not blocked or where they are not
hit directly by the sun. The site should be free of any kind of moisture with a clearance of at
least 10 inches around the inverter for adequate ventilation.
z
Protection against fire hazard
The inverter should be away from any flammable material, liquids, or any other combustible
material.
z
Close proximity to battery bank
Put the inverter close to batteries banks to prevent excessive voltage drop. Choose a proper
sized wire going from the battery bank to the inverter.
z
Limiting electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Ensure the inverter is firmly grounded to a building or vehicle. Alternatively, it can be earth
grounded. Keep the inverter away from EMI receptors such as TVs, radios, and other audio/
visual electronics to prevent damage/interference.
z
Secure mounting
The inverter should be stand-alon or mounted by using the outlying terminals with M3 and
M6 screws on the inverter.
