Power Drive 300 - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALLATION:
Selecting a suitable location
The RPPD300 must be installed in an area that meets the following requirements in order
to operate safely and provide optimum performance:
1. DRY: DO NOT expose the unit to moisture.
2. COOL: Ambient air temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F. Cooler
areas are best.
3. VENTILATION: Allow at least 4 inches of clearance above and around all
sides and top of the unit for proper cooling.
4. SAFE: DO NOT install the RPPD300 in a compartment with batteries or
flammable liquids or vapors such as gasoline or propane.
5. CLEAN: DO NOT install the RPPD300 in an area that is prone to dirt, dust
or debris. This is especially important if used in a work environment.
Your new RPPD300 inverter has been supplied with two sets of
power cables.
1. Battery clip cables: this will allow you to use the inverter at the rated 300
watts.
2. Power port plug: this cable is for smaller loads, up to 150 watts maximum.
(Check your owner’s manual for your vehicles power port amperage rating)
Connect the Power Cables to the Inverter:
1. Press the Power Button on the inverter to the off position.
2. Connect cable to the Power Input Terminals on input end of the inverter.
The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is negative (-).
Unscrew the terminal on the inverter and install the appropriate color (black
to black & red to red) ring-terminal of the cables and tighten the screws to
clamp the wires securely.
NOTE: It is a good idea to check and tighten these screws from time to time.
They can become loose by vibrations or thermal cycling. Loose connectors
result in excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted
insulation.
