The inverters are fitted with an internal DC fuse (see table above for rating). If the DC cable length
is increased to more than 1,5m, an additional fuse or DC circuit breaker must be inserted close to
the battery.
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires will blow the internal fuse and can damage the
inverter. The internal fuse it not replacable.
3.3 Connection to the load
Never connect the output of the inverter to another AC source, such as a household AC wall outlet
or a generator.
3.4 Remote on/off connector
A remote on/off switch can be connected to the two pole connecter. Alternatively, the left hand
contact of the connector can be switched to battery positive: useful in automotive applications,
wire it to the ignition contact.
Note that also the front switch needs to set to either On or ECO for the inverter to start.
3.5 Configuration
The inverter is ready for use with the factory settings (see specifications), and can be configured
with a computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed), Apple and Android smartphones,
tablets and other devices (VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle needed).
