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 in the Pos cable close to the battery
bank end.
3. Make sure the inverter is OFF.
4. Ensure all appliance cords or extension cords are disconnected from
the inverter.
5. Connect an appropriate 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 the inverter.
2. Turn OFF the inverter.
3. When you have confirmed that the appliance to be operated is
turned off, plug an appliance cord into one of the four 110v AC
Outlets 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.
Note:
The audible alarm may make a momentary "chirp" when the inverter is
turned OFF. This same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being
connected to or disconnected from the 12 volt battery bank.
