F. CONNECTION
1. Grounding (not all inverters have a ground terminal)
The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked " Grounding "or "≡".
This is used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to ground. The ground
terminal has already been connected to the ground wire of the AC output
receptacle through the inverter.
The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which will vary
depending on where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the
ground terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect it to the boat's
ground system. In a fixed location, connect the ground terminal to earth.
2. Battery terminals
Before you connect the battery cables, make sure the power switch is in the off
position. Connect Red (+) battery cable to Red (+) inverter terminal. Connect
Black (-) battery cable to Black (-) inverter terminal. Connect Red (+) battery cable
to Red (+) battery terminal. Connect Black (-) battery cable to Black (-) battery
terminal. Alligator clamp cables may be used but only to connect to the battery. Do
not use clamps on inverter terminals. Alligator clamps are not a permanent
solution. You may see a spark during connection. Do not reverse the polarity.
This may damage the inverter and void warranty.
3. If connecting to a breaker panel do NOT neutral ground bond the panel.
USING THE POWER INVERTER
1. Check the output voltage and capacity of the battery. The battery (s) should
match the voltage of the inverter and have enough capacity for the load. See
Section E for more information.
2. Connect your inverter to your battery bank and do not to reverse the polarities of
the connection. See Section F.
3. Press the power switch button on your inverter for .5 seconds and a green LED
will light up indicating that the inverter is on.
4. Before plugging anything into your inverter, make sure the appliance you are
trying to power is shut OFF, then plug it into the AC outlet of your inverter and
power on your appliance. If using an inductive load see Soft Start section.
5. Once finished using the inverter, turn off your electrical appliance and the
inverter. The indicator lights should be off.
6. The cooling fans inside the inverter do not work until the case temperature
reaches approximately 104°F.
7. If you do not plan to use the inverter for a long period of time, disconnect it from
your battery bank. Leaving the inverter on and connected for long periods of
time may harm the equipment and over discharge the battery.
