Cable-cross-section
The cable-cross-section of all used cables should be at minimum: 0.2mm
Example: 10A current will require minimum cable-cross-section of: 10A x 0.2mm
The cable-cross-section is for 100% copper wire and does not include thickness of the cable sheath.

Setting-up the inverter
To set up the inverter, use the appropriate cables to
• connect the positive pole (usually marked with + or coloured in red) of the battery and the positive
pole (M; coloured in red) of the inverter and
• connect the negative pole (usually marked with - or coloured in black) of the battery and the negative
pole (P; coloured in black) of the inverter and
Ensure to clamp all cables securely.
The Inverter is now ready to use : Set the position of the main switch to I or II to power on the device.
Please notice the device functions described in chapter "TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION"
NOTE: You can operate the inverter with your vehicle´s engine running or switched off. However, it
is recommended to switch off the inverter while starting the engine.
Only at models PSI1000TX & PSI1500TX:
If you use PV solar panels to charge a connected battery
• connect the positive connection (usually marked with + or coloured in red) of your PV panel to
the RED CHARGING INPUT clamp of the inverter and
• connect the negative connection (usually marked with + or coloured in red) of your PV panel to
the BLACK CHARGING INPUT clamp of the inverter
• If polarity is accidentally reversed, the inverter will indicate an error.
Bear the technical limitations of charging-input in mind:
• Input voltage: 16-45V DC
• Input current/ power: max. 30A PWM (max. 500W)
• Output charging voltage: 8V DC – 14.4V DC
Minimum recommended cable-cross-section for connecting a PV panel to the inverter is:

30A x 0.2mm /A = 6.0mm
NOTE: Only charge rechargeable lead-acid batteries. Please read the safety instructions carefully
before working with batteries.
