5. Place the black ring connector on the black (negative –)
DC terminal, and then screw the black nut on until it is
snug. Do not over tighten.
Note: A spark may occur when you make this
connection. This is normal.
6. Check that both clips are securely connected to the
battery terminals. A loose connection will cause
excessive voltage drop and may cause the cables to
overheat. This could result in equipment damage or fire.
7. Turn on the On/Standby switch. The green
PWR
light
comes on, and AC power is available at the outlet.
Hardwiring the Inverter to the Battery
Loads of any size (up to 300 watts continuous power)
For a
permanent electrical connection, or when you need to power
some loads that are greater than 150 watts and some that are
less than 150 watts, you can hardwire the inverter to the
battery. This eliminates the need to switch between the
battery clip wire assembly and the cigarette plug wire
assembly. A hardwired installation is illustrated in Figure 6.
Warning!
Shock and fire hazard.
Use a qualified installer to perform a hardwired
connection.
