Marine electricians with experience installing inverters may follow the installation instructions in this
section. This section assumes knowledge of current ABYC standards, applicable Federal
regulations, and safe working practices. For all others, the following
Installation
chapter describes
ABYC standards, Federal regulations, and safe working practices.
Unpacking – Before beginning, unpack the inverter/charger, record
the serial number on the inside cover of this book and on the
warranty card. Retain packing materials for future use. Ensure
that all components listed on the Packaging Materials
sheet are included. If any components are missing,
please call Customer Service at (360) 435-8826.
Mounting and Location – Mount the unit securely in a
horizontal position in a clean, dry, ventilated enclosure.
Do not mount the unit in the same enclosure as vented
or maintenance-free vented batteries. Do not mount the
unit in the engine room of gasoline-fueled vessels. Install
appropriate strain-reliefs and conduit. Bolt the unit securely to
deck, shelf, or bulkhead. Allow adequate clearance to allow access
to the front panel. On U.S vessels, installations must conform to the requirements of 33 CFR
183.410.
