Connecting the Inverter
This inverter has two DC cable connections, one positive and one negative. The
order of steps in the following procedure minimizes the danger of sparking near
the battery bank.
1. Prepare all cable set ends with ring terminals at the battery ends.
2. Install one fuse holder with fuse on the Pos cable close to the battery
bank end.
3. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter
is in the OFF (O) position.
4. Ensure all appliance cords or extension cords are disconnected from
the inverter.
5. Connect a #8 gauge stranded insulated wire to the enclosure ground
terminal and connect the free end of the wire to the vehicle’s chassis or
any other ground point.
6. Connect the unfused cable to the Negative (-) terminal of the battery bank.
7. Connect the Negative cable to the Inverter’s Negative (-) terminal.
8. Insulate the end of cable to be connected to the Pos (+) Inverter terminal.
9. Connect the fused cable to the battery bank Pos (+) terminal.
10. Connect the Pos cable end to the Pos (+) inverter terminal.
NOTE: Sparking is normal for the first connection.
Make sure you have good secure connections – Do not over-tighten.
Operation
1. Turn On (I) the inverter. Make certain the Overload LED is not lit.
2. Turn OFF (0) the inverter. The Overload LED may briefly "blink" and the
audible alarm may also sound a short "chirp." This is normal.
3. When you have confirmed that the appliance to be operated is turned off,
plug an appliance cord into the 220v AC Outlet on the front panel of the
inverter.
4. Turn ON the inverter.
5. Turn the appliance on.
6. Plug in additional appliances and turn them on.
