Connecting To A Power Source - Furrion net-zero FIVBDP10A Manuel D'instructions

Installation

Connecting to a Power Source

CAUTION
● The power inverter must be connected
only to batteries with a nominal output
voltage of 12volts. The unit will not
operate from a 6 volt battery, and
will sustain permanent damage if
connected to a 24 volt battery.
● The input current of this inverter is
about 100A with full load, make sure
the battery could discharge over 100A
continuously.
● The battery should have a Cold
Cranking Amp more than 500A.
CAUTION
Loose connectors may cause overheated
wires and melted insulation. Check to
make sure you have not reversed the
polarity. Reverse polarity connection will
result in a blown fuse and may cause
permanent damage to the inverter.
Damage due to reverse polarity is not
covered by warranty.
WARNING
The installation of a fuse must be on the
positive cable. Failure to place a fuse on
"+"cables running between the Inverter
and battery may cause damage to the
inverter and will void warranty.

The following recommendations should
always be followed while making connection
between the battery and the Inverter.
● The cables should be made of high quality
copper wiring, also keep the cable length
as short as possible.
● Cables should be of adequate gauge for
the length. The inverter performance will
decrease if the cables are not of adequate
gauge (too small or too long).
● Battery cable fusing - A fuse is required
by the National Electrical Code (NEC) to
protect the battery and cables, A UL listed
DC rated slow blow fuse must be installed
in positive battery cable, within 18 inches
of the battery.
● Make sure the terminal screws are tight
enough, max. 45inch-lbs torque for the
screws.
