Electrical Connection Instructions
1. Ensure all power sources are disconnected from the inverter
2. Remove the wiring cover
3. Remove AC Input knockouts and AC Output knockouts
4. Install 3/8" strain relief in AC Input and AC Output ports
5. Connect AC Out terminal block (Ground, Neutral, and Line)
6. Connect AC In terminal block (Ground, Neutral, and Line)
7. Tighten strain relief (if applicable)
8. Connect DC terminals (positive and negative) to battery with properly sized wires, 5/32" hex (PD1610); 1/4" hex (PD1618/20)
9. When connecting DC wires a small spark may occur. This is normal charging of the inverter's internal capacitors
10. Provide external strain relief for DC wires
11. Connect equipment ground stud to a grounding point (typically the vehicle's chassis) using a 5/32" hex key
12. Re-install the wiring cover
