Incorporating some of the latest technological developments, it will give years of trouble free operation for your truck, boat, R.V. or other. In order to get the most out of your inverter, the installation procedure must be followed carefully and it must also be properly used.

Recommended tools Hand held crimping tool for terminal lugs * Mandatory Hollow punch or hole saw for metal Drill bit set for metal Screw driver set Open end wrench set Side cutters Power drill CAUTION! Before installation, make sure that the inverter is turned “OFF.” Where to install Your inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: - Dry:...
Use only covered, flexible, copper wires capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 215° Fahrenheit. As included in our CM series kits, we recommend welding cables as the best size & type for connection between the batteries and your inverter. Keep the cable length as short as possible, no longer than 12 feet.
Figure 5 : Fuse schema We recommend a “CNL” type fuse, mounted on a “CNL” fuse holder like to ones included in our CM series kits. Plug one terminal of the small and the long cable’s sections on the fuse holder, as illustrated in figure 5, and install the fuse. Without tightening them too much, the terminals must be solidly fixed onto the fuse holder, and must not be able to move around.
Tighten the PVC strain relief nut on the cables until the rubber seal is properly compressed and the cables cannot move. Run the cables under your cab and cover them with plastic loom (included in our CM series kits) to prevent damage from road debris.
