INSTALLATION NOTES
WARNING: Keeping ventilation when using batteries. Batteries may generate flammable gas
during charging or discharging.
The inverter (450W to 3000W models) has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to
be fastened against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface
should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install the
inverter as close as possible to the 12 VDC power source.
The inverter can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it
horizontally (#) so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal blocks located on the front panel
are visible and accessible. If inverter is to be installed in a moving vehicle, we strongly
recommends that the inverter be shock-mounted either on the floor (in a clear, safe area) or on a
secure flat surface.
(#):
CAUTION: The power inverter must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage
of 12volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery, and will sustain permanent damage
if
connected to a 24 volt battery.
CAUTION: Loose connectors may cause overheated wires and melted insulation. Check to
make sure you have not reversed the polarity. Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown
fuse and may cause permanent damage
to the inverter.
