- The distance between inverter and battery should be as short as possible, but place the inverter
in a separate room.
- Place the inverter on a stable underground and prevent (heavy) vibrations and shocks.
4.2 Connection with the battery
Important
- Before connecting to the battery, make sure that the inverter is turned off.
- When the battery is connected a spark may be generated due to the internal capacitor being
loaded.
Preferably use the supplied battery cable set. If you want this inverter to have a permanent
connection to the battery, we recommend replacing the clamps with terminal rings. For the other
models, the connections to the battery already consist of terminal rings. With the models
FS2500&NK2500 and FS3000&NK3000 two red and two black cables are included. In this case,
always connect both cables on the + and - side!
If you wish to use an own cable set, keep the cables as short as possible and ensure the connections
make good contact. Below formula indicates the required cable thickness
(Watt/voltage) x length in meters x 0,2 = cable in mmq
Example (1500W/12V) x 2 meters x 0,2 = 50mmq
Working method:
1. Connect the cables to the inverter first:
the red cable to the red + input connection. The black cable to the black – input connection.
Tighten the connections firmly.
2. Connect the other side of the cable to the battery:
The red cable to the + pole of the battery. The black cable to the – pole of the battery.
Important
Make sure that you connect the correct cable to the correct pole! The inverter can become
broken in this case. The repair costs are not covered by the guarantee.
