Installation Manual

Safe - Keep any ﬂ ammable/combustible material (e.g., paper, cloth,

plastic, etc.) that may be ignited by heat, sparks, or ﬂ ames at a

minimum distance of 2 feet (60 cm) away from the inverter. Do not

install this inverter in any area that contains extremely ﬂ ammable

liquids like gasoline or propane, or in locations that require ignition-

protected devices.

Close to the battery bank - As with any inverter, it should be

located as close to the batteries as possible. Long DC wires tend to

lose efﬁ ciency and reduce the overall performance of an inverter.

However, the unit should not be installed in the same compartment as

the batteries or mounted where it will be exposed to gases produced

by the batteries. These gases are corrosive and will damage the

inverter. Also, if these gases are not ventilated and allowed to collect,

they could ignite and cause an explosion.

Accessible -

Do not block access to the inverter’s remote control and

accessory ports. Also, allow enough room to access the AC and DC wiring

connections, as they will need to be checked and tightened periodically.

See Figure 8 for the MM-AE Series’ inverter dimensions.

Mounting Orientation - To meet regulatory requirements, the

MM-AE Series inverter/charger can only be mounted

on a horizontal

surface (shelf or table) or a vertical surface (wall or bulkhead) either

right-side up or upside-down, as shown in Figure 7. The inverter must

be mounted on a non-combustible surface, and this surface and the

mounting hardware must be capable of supporting at least twice the

weight of the inverter. After determining your mounting position, use

the base of the inverter’s chassis as a template to mark your mounting

screw locations. Remove the inverter and drill pilot holes into the

mounting surface.

After the inverter has been properly mounted, proceed to the DC

Wiring section.
