SECTION 5 |
WARnInG!
before commencing installation, please read the
safety instructions explained in the Section 1 titled
"Safety Instructions."
1. it is recommended that the installation should be undertaken
by a qualified, licensed / certified electrician.
2. Various recommendations made in this manual on installation
will be superseded by the national / local electrical Codes
related to the location of the unit and the specific application.
a few examples of national Codes are given below:
- national electrical Code (neC) - usa
- Canadian electrical Code (CeC) - Canada
- recreation Vehicle industry association (rVia) standards
for installation of 12 VdC and 120 VaC systems
3. the wiring methods should comply with the national electrical
Code, ansi/nFPa 70.
WARnInG!
1. this equipment employs components that tend to produce
arcs or sparks: To prevent fire or explosion, do not install in
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials.
2. risk of electric shock: Use only the ground-fault circuit-
interrupter [receptacle(s) or circuit breaker(s)] specified in the
installation and operating instructions manual supplied with
this inverter. Other types may fail to operate properly when
connected to this inverter equipment.
3. Do not install on or over combustible surfaces.
4. Do not touch non-insulated portions of battery terminals.
5. Reverse battery hook up will damage the inverter.
6. For continued protection against risk of fire or electric shock replace
only with same type and ratings of fuse.
Maximum external battery fuse ratings (refer to Table 5.1, page 27):
- 32vDC / 195A for model G4-2524A
- 32vDC / 290A for model G4-3524A
- 32vDC / 320A for model G4-2012A
7. grounding: The grounding symbol below is used for identifying
only the field wiring equipment-grounding terminal. However, this
symbol is usable with the circle omitted for identifying various points
within the unit that are bonded to ground.

1. to reduce risk of electric shock and fire:
- Both AC and DC voltage sources are terminated inside this
equipment. Each circuit must be individually disconnected
before servicing.
- Do not connect to a circuit operating at more than 150 volts
to Ground.

Installation

- Do not connect to an AC load center (circuit breaker panel)
having multi wire branch circuits connected.
- Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not expose to
rain or spray.
- Do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do not mount in
zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
2. Provided with integral protection against overloads.
3. Hot surfaces: To prevent burns, do not touch. The unit should be
installed so it is not likely to come into contact with people.
4. Use 90˚C / 194˚F copper conductors only for supply connectors.
5. For indoors use only.
6. Tightening torques to be applied to the wiring terminals are given in
the Table below:

7. Maximum sizes of wires to be used for field connectors are specified
in the Table given below (to meet conductor size and bending space
requirements under Sections 16.1.3, 17.2 and 63.27 of UL-1701):
