Due to their size and weight, the PowerVerter Plus systems in this manual should be mounted directly
to a rigid horizontal surface, mounting plate or bracket before battery connection. User must supply
all fasteners and brackets. Turn your PowerVerter and connected equipment OFF before mounting.
Mounting for the PV 500FC or PV 1000FC (See Diagram 1, p. 17)
• Install four 5mm (#8) fasteners (A) into a rigid horizontal surface using the measurements
in the diagram. Leave the heads of the fasteners raised slightly above the surface in order
to engage the keyhole slots molded into the bottom of the PowerVerter's feet.
• Place keyhole slots in the PowerVerter's four feet over the four fasteners and slide the
PowerVerter forward or backward to secure it. Install an "L"-shaped brackets (B) as shown
to permanently hold the PowerVerter in position.
Mounting for the PV 2000FC or 2400FC (See Diagram 2, p. 17)
• Install two 8 mm (1/4 in.) fasteners (A) into a rigid horizontal surface using the measurements
in the diagram. (Leave the heads of fasteners raised slightly above the horizontal surface
in order to engage the slots in the PowerVerter's two front feet.)
• Slide PowerVerter forward to fully engage the fasteners in the PowerVerter's front feet. Install
two 8 mm (1/4 in.) fasteners (B) into the horizontal surface, through the slots in the Power-
Verter's two rear feet. Tighten the screws to permanently hold your PowerVerter in position.
Splash Guard (PV 500FC and PV 1000FC Models Only)

When adding a splash guard to a PowerVerter for use in a damp environment, spacers must be
used to maintain a proper ventilation for the inverter. User must supply splash guard, screws and
spacers. Turn your PowerVerter and connected equipment OFF before mounting.
Adding a Splash Guard for the PV 500FC or PV 1000FC (See Diagram 3, p. 17)
• Thread four 4mm (#8) sheet metal screws (A) through four holes in a rigid horizontal splash
guard (B) measuring 175 mm x 225 mm, through four 25mm long hollow spacers (C) and
into the four blind holes in the top panel of your PowerVerter.
