Ensure ventilation when using batteries.
batteries may generate flammable gas
during charging or discharging.
MoUntInG
The inverter has four slots in its mounting
bracket that allow the unit to be fastened
against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other
flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface
should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use
longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install
the inverter as close as possible to the
12 VDC power source.
If inverter is to be installed in a moving
vehicle, we strongly recommends that the

oPeRAtInG enVIRonMent
The inverter should only be used in loca-
tions that meet the following criteria:
DRY -
Do not allow water or other liquids to
come into contact with the power inverter. In
marine applications, do not install the inverter
below or near the waterline and keep the
inverter away from moisture.
CooL -
Ambient air temperature should be
between 32°f (0°C) non-condensing, and 105°f
(40°C). Do not place the inverter on or near a
heating vent or any piece of equipment which is
generating heat above room temperature. Keep
the inverter away from direct sunlight.

CAUtIon
The power inverter must be connected
only to batteries with a nominal output
voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not
operate from a 6 volt battery, and WILL
SUSTAIN PErMANENT DAMAGE If
CoNNECTED To A 24 VoLT bATTErY.
CAUtIon
Loose connectors may cause overheated
wires and melted insulation. Check to
make sure you have not reversed the
polarity. reverse polarity connection will
result in a blown fuse and MAY CAUSE
PErMANENT DAMAGE to the inverter.
VentILAteD -
Keep the area surrounding
the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation
around the unit. Do not place items on or over
the inverter during operation. The unit will
shut down if the internal temperature exceeds
operating temperatures.
SAFe -
Do not use the inverter near flammable
materials or in any locations that may accumu-
late flammable fumes of gases.
DC InPUt ConneCtIonS
12 VDC input voltage from the battery is
fed to the DC input terminals (7, 8). for
feeding 12 VDC battery input, two sets of
