9. MOUNTING THE INVERTER:
The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened
against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface.
Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install the
inverter as close as possible to the 12V/24V DC power source.
The inverter can be operated in any position, but if it si installed on a vertical wall we
recommend to mount it with the longest side parallel to the floor.
For safety concern, you can connect a DC-rated fuse or a DC-rated circuit breakers
on the positive cable line in your power system, following these recommendations
when you purchasing fuses or circuit breakers.
Select a fuse or circuit breaker with a proper rating (e.g.:1000W advice 150Adc,
1500W advice 200Adc for the 12V version, while just use fuses with a maximum
current equal to half in the case of 24V inverters with the same power)

9.1 INSTALLATION STEPS:

• Check to be sure the power switch of the inverter is turned off and that no
flammable fumes are present.
• Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals.
• Install a fuse holder or breaker close to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
• Connect a length of wire on one side of the fuse holder or circuit breaker.
Connect the other end of the wire to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter.
• Connect a length of wire between the inverter's negative (-) terminal and the
battery's negative (-) terminal.
• Connect a short length of wire to the other terminal of the fuse holder or circuit
breaker. Mark it "positive" or "+".
• Connect the free end of the fuse or breaker wire to the positive terminal of the
battery.
• Insert a suitable fuse in the fuse holder.
• Check to be sure that all connections between battery clips, terminals and fuses
are secure and tight.

9.2 AC LOADS CONNECTION STEPS:

• When you have confirmed that the AC appliances to be operated is turned off,
plug an appliance into the AC outlet on the front panel of the inverter.
• Turn ON the inverter.
