SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Read this manual before installation, it contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions. Save this manual and keep it in a safe place. NOTE: This product is Listed to applicable UL Standards and requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., File E100666. Sensata Technologies is an ISO 9001:2008 Registered Company.
Battery Safety Information: WARNING: Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. There is a risk of acid exposure. WARNING: Batteries generate explosive gases during operation. WARNING: There is risk of high current discharge from shorting a battery that can cause fire and explosion. Use insulated tools during installation. WARNING: Remove all rings, watches, jewelry or other conductive items before working near the batteries.
NOMENCLATURE MOUNTING THE INVERTER Installation Tools The following tools are required for inverter installation: Crimper, Cable Ties, Cutter, Drill, #2 Phillips Screw Driver, Tape Measure, Wire Cutters, and Wire Strippers.

DC WIRE GAUGE, FUSING & BATTERIES Inverter Cable An “Inverter Cable” kit (positive cable, negative cable, and proper fuse) is required to connect the inverter to a battery pack. An 8-guage cable is also required to connect the inverter’s bonding lug to ground. The inverter cable length and the size of the inverter will determine the cable gauge and the size fuse to use. The maximum inverter cable recommended is 20-ft; it must be fused within 18-in from the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
HARDWIRE OUTPUT The hardwire A.C output is not ground fault interrupt, (GFCI) protected unless the inverter has option “A”. GFCI outlets should be installed at all appropriate locations per NEC 551. The GFCI outlet should be Leviton Type 7899 or N7899, 20Amp., 125VAC.

INVERTER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Status Panel 12/1800N, 12/2400N, 12/3000N, & 12/3600N Status Panel 12/800N & 12/1200N Plug a 100-watt light bulb into the inverter’s AC outlet. Switch on the remote On/Off switch (if available). Switch the inverter’s AC outlet On/Off for 5 seconds: then, switch it back ON. If the work light lights, the inverter works. Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution(s) No inverter indicators are on and work light not ON. 1. No DC power to inverter. 2.
Troubleshooting Steps Step 1. INVERTER POWER indicator LED is not ON. A. Locate the small violet wire in the front of the inverter. Disconnect the violet wire from the external remote switch circuit. Connect the violet wire to the large positive DC input lug on the front of the inverter. 1. If the inverter powers ON, the fault exists in the remote On/Off circuit. Possible problems include: • A failed remote circuit fuse. • A defective switch.
