When connecting the unit, please be sure to follow the guidelines,
cautions and warnings mentioned in this manual. The inverter
should only be connected to a battery with an output of 12V with
the DC clamp cables. No devices should be plugged into the
inverter until the inverter is properly connected and the inverter's
power indicator is active.
Please Follow The Following To Connect Your Inverter:
1) Check to be sure the inverter's ON/OFF Power Switch is in the
OFF position and that no flammable fumes are present.
2) Attach the ring type connector marked with red to the red (+)
DC terminal and the ring connector marked with black to the
black (-) DC terminal on the inverter.
• cautIon:
Reversing the polarity will damage the inverter and void
the warranty.
3) Tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug.
Do not over-tighten.
4) Attach the black (-) clip to the black (-) battery terminal.
5) Attach the red (+) clip to the red (+) battery terminal. Make
sure both clips are securely connected to the battery
terminals, as a loose connection will cause the voltage to
drop and may cause the cables to overheat, resulting in
equipment damage or fire.
6) For models with Ground Terminals, attach ground wire to
vehicle chassis (for in-vehicle installations), minimum 16AWG
wire. For out-of-vehicle applications, attach to battery
negative terminal. CAUTION: NEVER attach ground wire
directly to inverter Negative Terminal! This will not provide
proper ground.
