Basic Operation; Connecting The Inverter - Wagan Tech Slimline 500 Manual De Usuario

BASIC OPERATION

• Turn ON the power switch that is located at the front of the inverter, and
the green LED indicator will light up as an indicator that the unit is working.
• Plug your appliance(s) into the AC socket(s) at the front of the inverter.
INSTALLATION
Safe installation requires that a Battery Protection fuse is installed within one foot of
the positive (+) battery Terminal [red]. Use ANL marine fuses or equal because they
do not spark when they blow. Use an appropriate fuse holder for the fuse. ANL
fuse holders can be mounted so they do not move in a vehicle or vessel.

CONNECTING THE INVERTER

Loose DC (battery) connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can
cause damage to connectors, conductors, and insulation and can cause
sparking. Reverse polarity connection can permanently damage the inverter.
Damage caused by reverse polarity will void the warranty.
WARNING:
Venting batteries produce explosive, corrosive gases. There is danger of
explosion. DO NOT connect or disconnect BATTERY cables directly after battery
discharge or recharge. Make sure that the battery bank area is well vented
before attaching or removing cables.
NOTES: All recommended cable gauges and fuse sizes are located at the rear
of this manual in the Cable Gauge Table. The table describes Cable Gauges for
lengths greater than supplied cables.
"Round Trip" refers to actual cable distance in feet from the POS (+) battery
terminal to the inverter and back to the NEG (−) battery terminal.
Crimp-on ring terminals are required on all cable ends. The cable ends need to
be stripped of insulation for 1/2 inch before crimping on ring terminals. Select
a crimp terminal size to fit the cable gauge and inverter and battery terminal
connectors. After crimping, make sure that the cable connectors are secure on
the cables so there are no loose connections.
CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable end and
the inverter's positive terminal may cause a spark. This is normal and is a result
