3-4. Installation Where to install. The power inverter should be installed in a location that Meets the following requirements 3-4-1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter. 3-4-2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40 , the cooler the better.
The longer or narrower the cables, the greater the voltage drop. Increasing your DC cable size will help improve the situation. Following cable recommendations for the best performance of inverte (Apply both 120V and 230V versions Model No Wire AWG Inline Fuse SK1500-112 200A SK1500-212 200A SK1500-124 100A SK1500-224...

WARNING! The installation of a fuse must be on positive cable. Failure to place a fuse on “+” cables running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter and will void warranty. Also, use only high quality copper wire and keep cable length short, a maximum of 3 - 6 feet.
3-6. AC Safety Grounding The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads ( for example, a distribution panel ground bus ). 3-6-1. Neutral Grounding (GFCI’S) 3-6-1-1. 120V models The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit of the Inverter is automatically connected to the safety ground during inverter operation.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) Installations in Recreational Vehicles (for North American approvals) will require GFCI protection of all branch circuit connected to the AC output of the hardwire terminal equipped Inverter. In addition, electrical codes require GFCI protection of certain receptacles in residential installations. While the pure sine wave output of the Inverter is equivalent to the waveform provided by utilities, compliance with UL standards requires us to test and recommend specific GFCI.
4. Troubleshooting guide WARNING! Do not open or disassemble the Inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Problems and Symptoms Possible Cause Solutions “No AC Power Output” STATUS illuminates the red LED a.
5. Maintenance Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. 6.
