Installation
Overview
Install the power inverter using these three basic steps:
1) Mounting: Mount the inverter securely
2) Wiring: Wire the inverter to a 12 VOLT source
3) Testing: Test for proper operation
Step #1: Mounting the Inverter
The power inverter should be secured to a solid flat surface
capable of handling the weight of the unit. It is very important
that the unit be secured using the proper size mounting hardware
(not included) to keep the unit from moving around or becoming
loose in emergency situations.
•
The power inverter should be placed with space around the
unit for proper ventilation. Do not block the air entrance to
the fan or block the exhaust holes located on the side or
bottom of the unit.
•
The unit must be mounted in a dry, cool area. Do not allow
water to drip or splash onto the inverter. The ambient air
temperature should be between 32 deg F and 75 deg F.
•
The unit must not be mounted in an area with batteries or in
any area storing flammable liquids such as gasoline.
•
To minimize cable lengths, the unit should be mounted as
close as possible to the battery, but not in the same
compartment. If you have a choice, it is better to run longer
AC wires than DC cables.
