INPUT PANEL AND INSTRUCTION
FAN
For cooling the inverter during operation.
TERMINAL CONNECTOR
Use the red battery cable to connect (+) of the battery to the (+) terminal of the inverter. Then use
the black battery cable to connect the (-) of the battery to the (-) terminal of the inverter. Tighten the
screws of the DC input cables firmly.
When connected to a battery, please make sure to turn on the inverter before turning on the connected
appliance(s). When using the inverter with several appliances at the same time, turn the appliances
on separately after the inverter is already turned on. This will ensure that the inverter doesn't have to
deliver start up currents for the loads all at once.
CAUTION!
Please note that 230 V AC power is potentially lethal. Do not work on AC wiring while it is connected to
the inverter (even if it is switched off), unless the DC power source is physically disconnected from the
inverter. Do not work on AC wiring if it is connected to another AC power source such as a generator
or utility line.
CAUTION!
Do not reverse input! Do not use "alligator-clips" and always ensure the ON/OFF switch on the output
panel of the inverter is switched to the OFF position before connecting a battery or another DC power
source!
CHASSIS GROUND LUG
The inverter has a lug to connect the chassis with the inverter. The ground wire in the AC junction box
on the output panel of the inverter is connected to the chassis.
The chassis ground lug must be connected to a grounding point, which will vary depending on where
the inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the chassis ground lug to the chassis of the vehicle. In a
boat, connect to the boat's grounding system. In a fixed location, connect to earth ground by a ground
rod (a metal rod pounded into the earth), or other proper service entrance ground. Use a #12 AWG or
larger copper wire (preferably with green/yellow insulation) to connect the chassis ground lug to the
grounding point.
