Deep Cycle Battery Comments:
Do not use vehicle-starting batteries; deep discharge cycles typical with
inverter applications can shorten the life of this type of batteries.
• Install at least one auxiliary deep cycle battery to feed the inverter directly.
Depending on the application running time more batteries could be added if
necessary. The vehicle alternator will recharge the batteries.
• It is recommended to mount the battery bank close to the inverter. The maximum
recommended distance between the inverter and the battery bank is 20 feet.
• The battery compartment must be vapor-tight to the interior of the vehicle and
vented directly to the exterior.
• Install several vent-plugs within one inch of the top of the battery compartment to
allow for ventilation. Install a ventilation assembly as needed.
• Allow space around the battery and especially above the battery for inspection, and
maintenance purposes.
• The battery should not be able to move more than 1 inch in any direction.
6.3 AC Wiring:
6.3.1 General:
Remove the inverter field-wiring compartment cover plate to access
the 120VAC*, 60Hz output terminal block and follow the color code connections:
• Hot (H) – Black Wire
• Neutral (N) – White Wire
• Ground (G) – Green Wire
6.3.2 AC Output:
The 120 VAC*, 60 Hz current output produced by the inverter is
not ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) protected and requires the installation of remote
GFCI outlets. Not applicable with inverters having the “F3” option
• The GFCI outlets model recommended is Install GFCI outlets model Hubbell # GFR
5352XX (20A) or GFR 5252XX (15A).
• The 120VAC*, 60Hz output is presented behind the wiring compartment panel for
direct hardwire leads.
Do not connect another source of AC power directly to the output of the
inverter. This will result in damage to the inverter that is not covered under
warranty.
6.3.3 AC Input:
Inverters having the charger “B3” option and/or the transfer switch
“T” option must plug the AC input cord into an external 120VAC* 60Hz power source.
* 100 VAC, 60 Hz input/output for inverters having the “F3” option
