6.2 Connecting the DC cables:
Damage to the inverter not covered under warranty will occur if correct
polarity is not observed when installing the DC input cables.
• Remove the inverter field-wiring compartment faceplate to access the DC input lugs.
• Unscrew the DC input lug POS (+) and NEG (-) screws.
• Remove the fuse from the fuseholder for cable installation.
• Remove 5/8 inch of insulation from the un-terminated ends of the red and black
cables.
• Insert the stripped end of the red wire into the DC input lug labeled POS (+) and the
stripped end of the black wire into the DC input lug labeled NEG (-). Tighten the
screws to 10 Ft. Lbs.
• Tighten the cover DC cable strain relief screws to 1 Ft. Lb.
• Connect the end of the short red cable to a POS (+) battery post.
• Connect the terminated end of the black cable (neg. return cable) directly to a
battery NEG (-) post (DO NOT connect to the chassis).
• Install the in-line fuse in the fuseholder that is within 18” of the positive post of the
battery bank (a one-time spark will occur when this final DC connection is made). To
determine the fuse size, refer to section 6.1.1.
6.2.1 Remote “On/Off” switch (customer supplied):
• Connect the 18-gauge violet wire to the load side of a fused “On/Off” switch.
• Connect a fused (5 amp recommended) +12VDC battery voltage to the line side of
the switch.
6.2.2 LED Remote Control/Status Panel (“R” or “R3” option):
• Plug one end of the flat remote signal cable into the panel receptacle, plug the other
end of the cable to the inverter mating receptacle.
• “R3” option: Connect the red wire to a circuit which has +12VDC battery voltage
when the master disconnect switch is not in the disconnect position.
