INSTALLATION
a) Selecting the battery power source
You must use a power source with a minimum voltage of 10,5V
and a maximum voltage of 14,5V DC, in order to connect it to the
inverter.
The power source can be a combination of car's battery and
alternator (when the car's motor is running).
Caution:
Do not install the power inverter in a positive ground DC system.
The power inverter must be connected to batteries or power
sources with a normal / average voltage of 12V. The power
inverter won't operates with 6V or 24V power sources.
b) Placing the power inverter
The place where you want to install the inverter is very important,
in order to maximize their use and extend the life of the inverter.
For better results, the inverter must be placed in a sturdy, fl at
surface. You can place the equipment in a vertical or horizontal
position.
Keep in mind these points when you select a permanent
place for the inverter:
1.- Ventilation: make sure to have at least 1 inch of clearance
around the inverter, for a better air fl ow. Do not place objects
over the inverter while is in use. The air should circulate freely.
The built-in fan provides air, but must have enough free space
around it to operate correctly.
2.- Keep the equipment dry and far from liquids. Place it far away
spill areas.
3.- Best operating temperature is from 7° to 30°C. Do not place
the inverter in a place near to heat tubes or any other heat
sources, that can overheat the inverter.
4.- Do not place the inverter near to fl ammable substances.
Fumes and gas may cause an explosion or fi re that can result in
several damages and possible death.
c) Connection cables from inverter to battery
The power inverter includes 2 4AWG cables (45cm length) with
eye-type and alligator ends to connect it the inverter to a battery.
You can identify the negative end with a black color and the
positive end with a red color.
