AC input wiring for the inverter/charger must be routed through a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker on an AC distribution panel with proper safety/earth chassis ground in accordance
with all applicable local codes and ordinances.
I) AC Output Options
AC output is available from both the front panel AC duplex outlets and via the AC hard-
wired output, which is typically routed through an AC distribution panel.
1) AC Outlets: A duplex outlet is provided for USA standard three-prong plugs. The maxi-
mum current draw through both outlets (and AC hard-wire output, explained below) com-
bined at any one time is 15 amps (1800 watts). The outlets are over-current protected by a
resettable 15 amp output breaker on the front panel beside the outlets.
The outlets are protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) which automatically
disconnects the outlets when any significant amount of AC is detected on the ground circuit
which could present a shock hazard. Note: The AC hard-wire output is not GFCI protected.
2) AC Output Hard-Wiring
CAUTION: Integrating the inverter output with existing AC branch circuits must only be at-
tempted by a qualified marine electrician. Options may include isolating breakers on an exist-
ing panel or installing a separate, dedicated inverter AC sub-panel.
Three 14 AWG AC output wires are located in the "AC Wiring Compartment" on the bottom
front of the inverter. To access them remove the compartment cover using a phillips screw-
driver. Before attaching the output wires:
1) Pop out one of the circular knock-outs in the compartment cover. (It may be
necessary to punch it out by firmly tapping it with a hammer and chisel/screwdriver.)
2) Install one of the provided cable clamps in the hole.
3) Pass the external AC wires through the clamp.
4) The internal wires have been factory-fitted with 16-14 AWG butt splices. Use a
crimping tool to connect the wires.
5) Replace the compartment cover and tighten the cable clamp to secure the wiring.
Note: Installation of the remote panel also requires access to this compartment, so if that
option is being installed, do that first before replacing the cover.
CAUTION: Do not connect any other source of AC power directly to the output of the inverter.
This will result in damage not covered under the warranty.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: Per ABYC section A-25 a label must be installed at the
main electrical panel to warn anyone who may work on that panel that an inverter has been
