ProLine 3,000W Power Inverter by Wagan Tech
™
Procedure
1. Connect the Negative (−) cable ring terminal to the Negative (−) Battery Terminal.
2. Install the ANL fuse in the Fuse holder Positive (+) cable.
3. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter is in the OFF
position. Disconnect any remote switch from the connector on the front panel.
4. Locate the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter. Connect an insulated 6
gauge copper wire to the terminal. The other end of the ground wire is connected to
a "proper" grounding point. Use the shortest practical length of wire. Connect this
wire to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat. In a city,
the ground wire can connect to a metal cold water pipe that goes underground. In
remote locations, the ground wire can be connected to an "earth ground". This can be
an attachment to a 6 foot long copper clad metal rod driven into the ground. In the
unlikely event of a short circuit, operating the inverter without proper grounding can
result in electrical shock. Do not directly connect this ground wire to the Negative DC
Terminal. You can connect the ground wire to the negative battery terminal.
NOTE: The cable ends need to be stripped of insulation for approximately ¾ of an inch
at both ends. The battery ends or fuse end needs to have ring terminals crimped onto
the bare cable ends.
5. Use a socket wrench to loosen and remove the Positive (+) and Negative (−) cable
connector retaining nuts. Place the Negative (−) cable ring terminal onto the Negative
(−) DC terminal. Place the retaining nut on the terminal stud. Use the socket wrench to
make a good, secure connection.
6. Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
7. Attach the Positive (+) DC cable to the Positive (+) terminal on the battery. Avoid
shorting the socket wrench and carefully tighten the retaining nut.
CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable and the inverter's
positive terminal may cause a spark. This is a normal and is a result of capacitors in
the inverter starting to charge. Because of the possibility of sparking, it is extremely
important that both the inverter and the battery bank be positioned away from any
source of flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed this warning can result in fire
or explosion. Do not make the positive terminal connection immediately after the
batteries have been charging. Allow time for the battery gasses to vent to outside air.
8. Attach the positive cable ring terminal to the Positive (+) DC connector stud on the
inverter. Replace the retaining nut and carefully tighten. Make sure the connection is
tight and secure.
9. Turn on the inverter. Advance the Digital Display to the Voltage display (right green
LED lit) by pressing the FUNCTION button. The display on the front panel should show
the following amounts:
# 2007-2 (12V DC) — 10.5V-13.2V DC Input
#2007-4 (24V DC) — 21.0V-26.4V DC Input
#2007-8 (48V DC) — 42.0V-52.8V DC Input
