ment. The maximum recommended distance
between the mounting location and the battery is
10 feet.
3.03.2 The location should provide adequate
ventilation and clearance to maintain room tem-
perature during operation. At least 1/2 inch of
clearance is required on all sides.
3.03.3 Secure the unit with 3/8 inch screws
or bolts in the mounting slots on the flanges of the
chassis.
3.04 Battery Wiring - FIG. 1
3.04.1
CAUTION: Assure that hydrogen
gas does not accumulate near the battery by
keeping the area well ventilated. A spark may result
when connecting the final battery wiring due to an
initial charging of the internal input capacitor.
3.04.2 Use stranded copper wire between
the battery and inverter as indicated. A line fuse
must be installed between the battery and the
inverter. U.L. requires that the fuse be within 18
inches of the battery.

3.04.3 NOTE: Using smaller input cable or
longer length will greatly degrade the inverter peak
performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VEHICLE INSTAL-
LATION: Do not use the vehicle chassis as the
negative return in place of a return cable. Use the
same size cable as the positive connection and run
directly to the battery.
3.04.4 The battery input terminals are located
in the DC input NATO connector plug. A mounting
spark may result when connecting the battery wire,
due to an initial charging of the internal input
capacitors.

3.04.5 CAUTION: Connecting the inverter
incorrectly to the battery will cause damage that
is not covered under warranty.
3.05 120 VAC Output
(Optional Distribution Box)
3.05.1 CAUTION: Do not connect another
source of AC power directly to the output of the
inverter. This will result in damage to the inverter
that is not covered under warranty!
3.05.2 AC power is suplied throughout the
distribution box as follows:
3.05.3 The 120VAC 60 Hz output is pro-
vided with two outlets (Leviton 53CM-62 yellow)
located at in the distribution box. Open the square
cover to acces the outlets.
4. START UP / OPERATION
4.01 To operate the inverter, turn the switch
to "ON". Assure that the output breakers are
reset.
5. FORDING - (Option "E")
5.01 If the option "E" is included, turn the
inverter OFF
5.02
Before submerging the inverter,
remove DC and AC power connections.
5.03 After removing DC and AC power con-
nections turn the power switch to the ON position
for a period of 5 seconds to bleed residual power
from internal capacitors.
5.04 Turn power switch to the OFF position
before submerging.
5.05 Allow inverter 15 minutes to drain after
submerging before connecting DC and AC power
connections.
5.06
Power switch MUST be in the off
position before re-connecting DC and AC power
connections
