1. Ventilation Openings
Do not obstruct the ventilation openings; allow at least 25mm for airflow around all openings.
2. Battery terminals
Only connect the Inverter to a 12VDC battery, battery bank or other 12VDC power source. (POS+) is Positive, (NEG-)
is Negative.
3. Remote Control (Located on the side of the inverter)
Connect remote control unit (supplied) as necessary.
G. Pre-Installation Information
Before installing your Inverter, please make sure that you have appropriately-sized batteries with sufficient ampere-hour
capacity. A battery that is too small will not allow the Inverter to perform to its full specification.
H. Electrical Requirements
The DC input voltage of the Inverter must be the same as the battery bank voltage.
The DC cabling must be connected to the correct polarity terminals of the battery bank. Red (POS+) Positive,
Black (NEG-) Negative).
DO NOT extend the DC cable length to the Inverter unless you are prepared to increase the diameter of the cable.
If this is necessary consult your supplier/ installer for advice.
DO NOT connect AC power to the AC output of the Inverter: THIS WILL DAMAGE THE INVERTER.
Between the Inverter and any generator / mains supply, it is essential you install a double-pole
“break-before-make” changeover switch that switches both line and neutral AC power.
DO NOT place the AC power cable and the 12VDC cable in the same cable duct.
To prevent electrical shock, DO NOT operate the Inverter without connecting it to ground.
Always disconnect the inverter when not in use.
WARNING! Shock Hazard!
Before proceeding, ensure the Inverter is NOT connected to any Batteries or DC
Power Source.
Do not connect the AC output Terminals of the Inverter to an incoming AC
Power Sources such as the mains.
WARNING!
Do not reverse the polarity of the input connections.
Reverse polarity connection will blow internal fuses and may damage Inverter
permanently.
