To make the DC connections
Refer to Figure 15.
1. Cut the cables to the correct length with enough insulation stripped off so
you can properly install the type of terminals you will be using.
The terminals on the DC end are designed to fit up to 500MCM crimp-on
ring terminals (either AMP or ILSCO) or box connectors.
2. Attach the connectors to both cables.
If you are using crimp connectors, use the tool recommended by the
terminal manufacturer. Make sure no stray wire strands protrude from the
terminals.
3. Route the DC supply cables from the battery bank to the inverter•charger.
4. Install a fuse and disconnect or breaker between the inverter•charger and
the battery. They must be installed in the positive side of the DC circuit,
as close as possible to the battery. This protects your battery and wiring in
case of accidental shorting. (See Table 2 on page 21 for required fuse
size.)
5. Attach one connector on the positive cable to the positive DC terminal on
the DC end, and then attach the other connector to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal on the fuse or breaker.
Observe the polarities carefully while completing the installation. Use a
wrench to tighten to a torque of 216–240 inch-pounds (24–27Nm). Test
that the cable is secure.
6. Connect one connector on the negative cable to the negative terminal on
the DC end. Before proceeding, check that cable polarity is correct, and
then connect the other end of the cable to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal on
the battery.
This is the last cable connection you make. A spark is normal when it is
made. Use a wrench to tighten to a torque of 216–240 inch-pounds (24–
27Nm). Test that the cable is secure.
7. Attach the DC terminal covers. (See Figure 15, on page 33.)
NOTE
For residential installations, the installation code may require a DC wiring
enclosure for DC connections and cables. If you are using this accessory,
secure it to the inverter•charger before routing cables. Be sure to use crimp-on
ring terminals on the PROsine end of the DC cables (as specified on
page xviii
), and follow the installation procedure provided with the wiring
enclosure. Contact Xantrex or your distributor for this part.
