6. CONNECTION TO THE VOLTAGE SOURCE
a) General Information
Important!
 Beforeconnectingtheinverterandtakingitintooperation,readtheentireoperatinginstructions;speci-
cally observe the chapter "Safety Notes".
When connecting the inverter, always ensure correct polarity; never swap the connections!
Observe that the cables cannot get into any rotating/moving parts of the vehicle.
Secure or attach the inverter and all cables, e.g. when using them in a vehicle, so that proper operation of
the vehicle is ensured and the inverter cannot come loose.
 • Converterswithpoleterminals
  Fortheseconverters,acablewithasufcientlinecross-section(seechapter"Technicaldata")andsuit-
able ring cable lugs must be used for connection. Clamping in the open cable ends or even soldering is
not permitted.
  Alwaystightenthenutsattheconverter(forattachingthecablelugs)eveniftheconverterisonlyoper-
ated for test purposes. Do not use any force for tightening!
A too-high voltage drop on the line may cause premature undervoltage deactivation of the inverter. The
following applies: The larger the line cross-section and the shorter the cable, the lower the voltage drop
on the line.
  Theinvertershouldneverbedirectlyconnectedtoadirectvoltagesource(e.g.acarbattery),butonly
via an accordingly sized fuse. This fuse should be placed as close as possible to the direct voltage
source.
  Proceedverycarefullywhenconnectingtheconnectioncablesbetweeninverterandrechargeable
battery. A short circuit between the poles of a rechargeable battery may not only cause light arc and
weldingoftheconnectioncables,butalsoexplosion!Thisnotonlyposesadangerofre,butalso
severedangerofinjury(e.g.fromtheacidinaleadbattery).
 • Converterswithcigarettelighterplug
The cable is tightly installed at the converter. Do not shorten the cable. Never use any extension lines.
