Sima SK-200 User Manual

General: The Inverter Installation Safety Kit is designed for installation of DC to AC power inverters up to 2500 watts. The wires and
connectors included with this kit will improve the performance and extend the useful life of the DC to AC power system which
includes the vehicle's batteries and charging system, the cable connectors, the power inverter and the load (TV's. VCR's, microwaves
etc.). Using the proper fuse inside the fuseholder will protect the vehicle and contents from damage caused by shorted wiring.
Caution: If you are not familiar with 12V high currency wiring, please contact a
professional installer for assistance
Required tools: Crimping tool or soldering iron for soldering
Adjustable wrench with insulated handle
Phillips and slotted screwdrivers
Black electrical tape
Hacksaw

Explanation:

a. The short red wire is to go from the positive terminal of the battery to one side of the fuseholder.
b. The fuse inside the fuseholder protects your vehicle from damage caused by accidental shorting of the long red wire to
ground. (Use 150 amp fuse for 1000 and 1500 watt inverters. Use 200 amp fuse for inverters up to 2500 watts.)
c. The long red wire is to go from the other side of the fuseholder to the positive terminal of the power inverter.
d. The black wire is to go from the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the power inverter.
e. The green wire is to go from the chassis ground of the vehicle to the ground terminal of the power inverter.

Connectors:

•
All of the connectors are made from high quality copper and covered with anti-corrosion coating.
•
Two of the connectors have larger holes (3/8") for connection to the battery.
•
Two of the connectors are wedge shaped. These are to be used if your power inverter has the screw-down terminals.
Instead of tightening directly to the wires, using these connectors will prevent loosening over time.
Grommets: The grommets are very important. Make sure to use the grommets to protect the red and black wires when going through
holes drilled in metal.

Preparation:

Find a location for fuseholder near the battery.
Find a location for the power inverter inside the vehicle.
Drill holes for routing the red (+) wire and black (-) wires from the battery into the vehicle. Make sure to use black
rubber grommets to protect the wires from rough metal edges which could strip or cut the wires and cause a short
circuit. The green wire is the ground and no grommet is needed.
Use a hacksaw to cut wires to required lengths. Remember: Too long is much better than too short.
Strip back insulation 5/8" on ends of wires.
Common sense: Never work on electrical wiring in the rain or while drinking or under medication.
Never work on electrical wiring while connected to the battery.
The last connection is always the connection to the positive terminal of the battery.
Warranty: The components of the safety kit – excluding the fuses - are warranted for one year to date from the date of purchase.
