General Installation Recommendations

The power inverter should be installed in an environment that meets the following requirements:
(a) Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter.
(b) Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, the cooler the better.
(c) Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where flammable fumes may
exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments. These gases are very corrosive, and
prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
(d) Keep the inverter a distance (as least 1 inch) away from surrounding things. Ensure the
ventilation shafts on the front and rear of the unit are not obstructed.
(e) Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment. The dust can be inhaled into the unit when
the cooling fan is working.
(f) Avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 3-5).
Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to the gases produced by the battery.
WARNING!
Shock hazard; before proceeding further, carefully check that the inverter
is NOT connected to any batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected
from any electrical sources. Do not connect the output terminals of the
inverter to an incoming AC source.
