Operating the inverter without a proper ground connection may cause an electrical safety haz-
ard. An 8 AWG or larger ground wire is required to connect the inverter ground to the chassis.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Please determine the remote control panel cable route throughout the vehicle, both to and
from the inverter before connecting any wires.
• Always check for existing electrical, plumbing, or other areas of potential damage before
drilling or cutting into walls to mount the control panel.
• Make sure all wires have a smooth bend radius and do not become kinked. The allowable
bend radius depends on the type of cable and wire gauge.
• Please ensure that all conductors passing through walls, bulkheads, or other structural
members are protected. This minimizes insulation damage such as chang, which can be
caused by vibration or constant rubbing when installing in a vehicle.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:
• Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
• Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C, but the cooler the better.
• Safety – Do not install inverter with lead-acid batteries in the compartment, or other areas
near ammable fumes such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
• Ventilated – Allow at least one cubic foot of clearance around the Inverter for air ow. Ensure
the vents on the ends and top of the unit are not obstructed.
• Dust-free – Do not install the Inverter in environments where dust, wood particles, or other
lings or shavings are present. The dust can be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is in
operation.
• Close to batteries – Avoid excessive cable lengths but do not install the inverter in the same
compartment as lead-acid batteries.
• Do not mount the inverter where it is exposed to the gases produced by a lead-acid battery.
These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
• Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes in accordance with this manual and the relevant
electrical codes.
