The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and any other
state or local codes in effect at the time of installation. Article 551 of the NEC requires the overcurrent
protective device shall be installed in an accessible location on the vehicle within 18 in. (457 mm) of the
point where the power supply connects to the vehicle circuits.

DC Wiring Installation
Procedure
Make sure all power to the vehicle wiring harness is disconnected. Verify that the inverter is turned OFF.
This can be accomplished by checking that the ON-OFF/RESET Inverter Switch is in the OFF-RESET
position, (The button should NOT be pushed in.) and no lights are lit on the status lights.
Select a location for the unit. An ideal installation location has the following characteristics:
•
Close to the battery (usually within six feet).
•
Protected from the weather.
•
Well ventilated.
Verify battery positive cable is disconnected from battery. Install cables in the following manner: Connect
the negative battery cable harness to the negative DC input blue connector. Twist the connector until it
locks. Do not connect the positive battery cable to the positive DC input red connector at this time.
Route the negative and positive battery cables from the inverter to the battery but do not connect to the
battery at this time. Protect cables with grommets or other appropriate means where they may contact hard,
sharp edges throughout the installation path.
Install fuse in the positive DC input cable between the battery and inverter. Installed a Fuse (see table
above) within 18 inches of the battery or DC wiring bus system. This is required to comply with safety
agency installation requirements. Be sure to mount the fuse in an 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.
Connect ground Bonding Lug. (Component Item 23). Use 8 AWG or larger copper conductor to connect
chassis bonding lug to the vehicle chassis. Additional grounding is required using the ground cable listed in
the table above. This cable will snap-lock together with the inverters black connector (Component Item 26).
Connect the black, negative battery cable to the battery negative (-) terminal. Connect the red, positive
battery cable to the in/line fuse near the battery positive (+) terminal. The other side of that fuse should then
be connected to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
Verify the black battery cable is tightly connected to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Verify the red cable harness is tightly connected to one side of the fuse.
Verify the “Other side” of the fuse is tightly connected to the positive (+) battery terminal.
