NOTE:
• Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in
voltage which may cause damage to the wires and
insulation.
• Failure to make proper connection between the inverter
and the power source will result in reverse polarity.
• Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter
and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered
under the Whistler warranty.
• Making the connection between the Positive (+) terminals
may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to the
capacitors in the inverter. This is a normal occurrence.
Due to the potential for sparking, however, it is extremely
important that both the inverter and the 12 volt battery
be well removed from any possible source of flammable
fumes or gases. Failure to heed this warning could
result in fire or explosion.
6.
For safe and proper operation of the inverter when not
using the supplied cables, connect the inverter to the
power source with the proper gauge wire available and
in the shortest length practical. Four feet of length use
a minimum of #8 gauge wire. Four to six feet, use #6
gauge wire. Six feet to ten feet, use #4 gauge wires.
7.
Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear
of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the
shortest practical length of 18 AWG wire. Selection of
the grounding point will depend on where you are
using the inverter.
