CHASSIS GROUND OR FAULT GROUND CABLE- The chassis ground lug is used to connect the chassis of the inverter to
the DC grounding point as required by regulations. Installing the grounding cable is a protective measure used to provide a
path for fault currents. The inverter has 12 volt positive and negative connected to the electronics inside the inverter. If the
positive cable somehow came in contact with the chassis of the inverter, the ground cable would conduct the fault currents
long enough to cause the over current protection (fuse or breaker) to interrupt the circuit between the inverter and the
battery. (Should be Zero volts)
R-TERMINAL OR REMOTE SENSE STUD- The R-Terminal or Remote Sense stud is used to be able to tell the inverter if
the engine is running or off. (Should be 7 to 14 volts when the engine is running and zero volts when the engine is off.)
