Installing the Inverter/Charger
This guide for use by qualified personnel only.
Guidelines for Routing the DC Cables
Follow these guidelines to ensure maximum performance.
Do not attempt to use the chassis in place of the battery
negative connection for grounding. The inverter requires a
reliable return path directly to the battery.
To reduce the chance of radio frequency interference, keep the
positive and negative cables close together—ideally, held
together by straps, loom, or insulated clamps at regular
intervals.
To ensure maximum performance from the inverter/charger, do
not route your DC cables through a DC distribution panel,
battery isolator, or other device that will cause additional
voltage drops. The exception is the DC fuse and Disconnect or
the DC circuit breaker which is required at the battery to protect
the DC wiring.
To help avoid damage caused by reverse polarity battery
connection, it is a good idea to mark each end of each cable to
identify it as a positive (red) or negative (black) cable before
routing the wiring.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the
insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate
injury.
