Page 7: Installing Additional Battery Boxes
Mount Dometic battery boxes with four bolts, either supplied with the box, or Grade 8 fasteners of at least 5/8" diameter. The final strength of the bolting solution on the frame rests with the installer. -
Page 8: Installing The Battery Fuel Gauge
Make sure to ground the chassis of the inverter to the chassis of the truck. Note that 12-gauge wire is acceptable for this requirement. Install the Dometic 200 amp circuit breaker or a properly-sized fuse in the positive cable between the last battery and the inverter. -
Page 9: Installing The Inverter Controls
Battery-Powered Systems Installation Guidelines INSTAllING ThE INvERTER CONTROlS The inverter controls should be mounted in an easily accessible place, probably the same area in which you will mount the HVAC controls (Fig. 5).

Battery-Powered Systems Installation Guidelines INSTAllING ThE AlTERNATOR Follow the instruction manual included with the alternator/regulator. Here are a few additional tips. The new alternator should directly replace the existing one (Fig. 6) (i.e., pad mount or J180 mount). If not, you need to request the correct model. -

INSTAllING ThE REGulATOR Follow the instruction manual included with the alternator/regulator. Here are a few additional tips. Mount the regulator inside the truck (Fig. 7), in an accessible area, so that the LED display can be seen. The wiring harness has two main separate harnesses. One goes to the battery box and one to the alternator. - Page 12 Battery-Powered Systems Installation Guidelines ChARGE lIGhT CIRCuIT FOR AlTERNATORS WITh INTEGRAl (Built-In) REGulATORS Negative Ground Circuit 12 volts, 1 amp, D.C., Single Pole, normally closed contacts, insulated coil ENGLISH...
