Design Features • Unit Protection: Automatic inverter short circuit/overload protection, automatic over temperature shutdown, and AC output circuit breaker. • Battery Protection: Automatic low battery shutdown at 10.5 VDC with an in-rush delay. • Status LED: This LED will show inverter operation mode and troubleshooting information. See the table in the troubleshooting section at the rear of the manual for further operation mode descriptions.
INSTALLATION Mount Inverter Installation Tools • Wire Termination Crimper • Cable Ties • Drill • #2 Phillips Screw Driver (with a magnetic end) • Slotted Screw Driver • Tape Measure • Wire Cutters • Needle Nose Pliers • Wire strippers Inverter Mounting Recommendations NOTE: The inverter mounting location should provide adequate ventilation and clearance to maintain room temperature during operation.
An inverter cable kit (a positive cable, negative cable, and proper fuse) is needed to connect the inverter to a battery bank. An inverter cable kit designed to SAE guidelines can be purchased directly from Sensata – call for options. An 8 AWG cable is also required to connect the inverter’s bonding lug to ground.
