Installation Requirements
•
The inverter must be installed in an area that meets all
of the following requirements:
A. Dry
Do not place in an area where water can drip
or splash on the inverter.
B. Cool
Ambient air temperature should be between 30°F
and 105°F (0°C and 40°C). The cooler the better.
C. Ventilate
Allow at least one inch (three cm) of clearance around
the inverter for proper airflow. Make sure that ventilation
openings on the ends of the unit are not obstructed.
D. Safe
Do not install the inverter in the same compartment
as a battery or in any compartment that contains
flammable liquids such as gasoline.
E. Close to Battery
Install unit as close to battery as possible (without
being in the same compartment) to minimize the
length of cable required to connect the inverter to
the battery. It is better and cheaper to run longer
AC wires than longer DC wires (cables).
CAUTION To avoid fire, do not cover or
obstruct ventilation openings. Do not install
inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result.
CAUTION The inverter must only be connected to
batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts.
It will not work with a 6 volt battery, and will be
damaged if it is connected to a 16 volt battery.
WARNING This unit contains components
which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent
fire or explosion, do not install in compartments
containing a battery or flammable materials,
or in a location which requires ignition
protected equipment.
WARNING This unit is suitable for installation
in negative ground applications only. Do not
attempt to install to a positive ground application.
Mounting
•
To mount your inverter:
1. Place the inverter on a flat surface with the
mounting bracket against the mounting surface.
2. Mount to secure surface using mounting hardware
that is corrosion resistant (not included).
The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
If mounted vertically, neither end of the unit should be at
the top (to avoid foreign material from falling or settling
into the unit).
