3.1.3 AC Output GFCI Duplex Receptacle
The AC output neutral conductor is connected to AC ground and inverter chassis ground inside
the inverter. This conforms to National Electrical Code requirements that separately derived AC
sources (such as inverter and generators) have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the
same way that the neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground at the AC breaker panel.
Do not connect AC neutral to AC ground downstream of the GFCI.
This would cause the GFCI to trip.
Never connect the inverter output to another AC power source such as a generator or utility
power. The inverter would be destroyed.

3.1.4.1 DC Input Terminals
DC Input terminals are for the included 6AWG ring terminals. The ring terminal entry is limited
to a maximum of 4AWG wire.
Connect DC Input Terminals to a 12v battery (24v battery for 24v units). (+) is positive,(-) is
negative. Reverse polarity connection will blow the internal fuses and may cause permanent
damage to the inverter.
3.1.4.2 Chassis Ground Bonding Lug
Connect Chassis Ground Bonding Lug to vehicle chassis using 12AWG or larger copper wire.
3.1.4.3 Fan
Do not obstruct the rear fan exhaust or front ventilation intake openings. Allow at least 3 inches of
clearance for airflow.
3.1.4.4 Remote Control Terminal
A green two-terminal connector located on the front panel allows remote ON/OFF control of the inverter
by a customer-supplied ON/OFF switch.
Standard Operation (Not using remote control): The inverter is shipped with a jumper connecting
terminals Vout and Vin. With the jumper in place (remote control not being used) the inverter is fully
functional using the ON/OFF Control Switch located on the front of the inverter.
