Connecting A Load To The Power Inverter - Peak PKC0AW Owner's Manual

4. Connect the negative cable between the negative (-) terminal of the power source and the black
negative (-) screw connector on the Inverter. Position the washer between the cable connector
and the screw connector. Tighten the screw connector securely.
5. Connect a #8 AWG or larger insulated wire between the chassis grounding connector on
the Inverter and a clean electrical grounding point on the vehicle. This will minimize possible
electrical noise interference when using TVs or radios.
Do not connect the grounding wire to the negative (-) terminal of the power source.
Only connect this wire to a clean grounding point on the vehicle.
FIRE HAZARD
Verify that all connections are secured. A loose connection may cause damage to the Inverter
and/or create a spark.
6. Verify that the positive (+) cable is connected between the positive (+) terminal of the power
source and the red positive (+) screw connector on the Inverter. Also, verify that the negative (-)
cable is connected between the negative (-) terminal of the power source and the black
negative (-) screw connector on the Inverter.
If the cables are not connected correctly, the Power Inverter will be damaged.
7. Install the fuse in the fuse holder or turn on the circuit breaker.

Connecting a Load to the Power Inverter

Only connect appliances to the Power Inverter after the Inverter is properly connected to the power
source.
1. Press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The green LED power indicator will light
continuously, indicating that the unit is functioning.
2. Plug the appliance(s) or device(s) into the 120-volt AC receptacle(s).
3. Switch on the appliance(s) or device(s) separately. If an audible alarm sounds or the red LED
fault indicator lights up for a protracted period of time, then either the power source voltage is too
low or the current being drawn by the device(s) is too great.
