3.4 DC Wiring Installation Procedure
Steps
1. Turn the inverter OFF and disconnect power to the wiring harness. Make sure power to the
inverter is disconnected. Verify that the inverter is turned OFF (the ON-OFF/RESET Inverter
switch is in the OFF-RESET position).
2. Select a location for the unit. An ideal installation location has the following characteristics:
a. Close to the battery (usually within six feet).
b. Protected from the weather.
c. Well ventilated.
3. Remove the cover plate on the DC cable compartment ( # ) exposing the positive and negative
terminal studs.
4. Prepare DC cable end with appropriate terminals (crimped or compression lugs), verify battery
positive cable is disconnected from battery, and insert DC cable through strain relief openings
leading to DC cable compartment. Tighten DC cable stud nuts to 119-158 in. lbs. of torque.
Tighten the two strain relief cable clamps.
5. After installation of DC cables, inspect the DC cable compartment to ensure that no foreign
particles (copper wire fragments) are present.
6. Replace the cover plate over the DC cable compartment.
7. Tighten DC cable stud nuts to 119-158 lbs of torque.
8. Route the negative and positive DC input cables from the inverter to the battery but do not
connect to battery at this time. Protect cables with grommets or other appropriate means where
they may contact hard, sharp edges throughout the installation path.
9. Install the in-line fuse. Install an in line fuse in the red, positive DC input cable between the
battery and inverter, within 18 in. of the battery or DC wiring bus system. Be sure to mount fuse
in easily accessible location for replacement. It is also “good practice” to note on the inverter to
check the fuse condition before involving any troubleshooting procedure.
10. Connect Bonding Lug. ( see # ). Use AWG No.8 or larger copper conductor to connect chassis
bonding lug to the vehicle chassis and/or earth ground.
11. Do not connect the inverter to the battery at this time. Final battery connections will be made
after all installation issues have been inspected.
3.5 AC Wiring Installation Procedure
1.
Remove the front cover of the inverter exposing the AC wiring compartment. Identify
location of AC wiring terminal block (see item 2.19).
2.
Insert the AC line (input) and load (output) wires through the appropriate strain reliefs into
the AC wiring compartment, and tighten the strain relief with a screwdriver.
3.
Connect the AC output wire to the appropriate Hot, Neutral, and Ground terminals inside
the AC wiring compartment using suitable wire terminators such as crimped spade or ring
terminals.
4.
Connect AC Inputs (IQC Models only). Install the two line input wires and connect them
to the appropriate Hot, Neutral, and Ground terminals for AC1 and AC2. Tighten the
strain reliefs with a screwdriver and replace the AC wiring compartment cover.
NOTE: AC Input 1 (AC1) and AC Input 2 (AC2) should be connected to two separate 30 amp
branch-rated AC circuit breakers in the main AC input distribution panel (from shore/utility power
or generator) if a 60 amp supply will be used. If a single 30 amp supply only will be used, it is only
necessary to connect AC Input 1 (no connect to AC Input 2) to a single branch-rated circuit
breaker in the main AC distribution panel. See Section 5.2, AC Power Transfer Switch for more
details.
