Installation and user instructions
1. Where to install
The inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:
Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash into the inverter.
Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between -20 and 40 .℃ ℃
Safe – Do not install into a battery compartment or other areas where flammable fumes
may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
Ventilated – Allow at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Ensure
the ventilation openings on the rear and front of the unit are not obstructed.
Dust – Do not install the Inverter in dusty environments. This dust can be pulled into the
unit when the cooling fan is operating.

2. Installation
2-1. Before installing the inverter, make sure the main switch is in “OFF” position.

2
.
Crimp the DC cable with the ring terminals which are included in the package of the
inverter, then fasten these to the inverter DC connector with a screwdriver.
For battery connection, please mind the recommendation of your battery
manufacturer first. We strongly recommend connecting a fuse to the battery. For SI350-
12XXX, we recommend a 50A fuse, for SI350-24XXX, we recommend a 25A fuse.
WARNING: Wrong polarity connection may damage the inverters without the external fuse
protection.
