The ON/OFF INV jumper bridges two pins. This jumper (J3) parallels the
two Switch INV terminals on the terminal block. If either set of
connections is closed, the inverter is ON. (Although the jumper is
factory-installed to the ON position, the inverter is given an OFF
command before leaving the factory and will initially be OFF.)

Removing the jumper will turn the
inverter OFF if it is not already. To
remove the jumper, use long-nose
pliers or a similar tool.

When a HUB occupies the inverter’s Remote port, the MATE3
connects directly to the HUB’s “MATE” port.

Inverters plug into ports 1 and above. Charge controllers and
other devices plug into additional ports after the last inverter is
connected. See Stacking on page 35 for information on
connecting inverters. See the HUB manual for other devices.

Jumper On

Jumper Off

Once the plastic ON/OFF INV jumper
has been removed, the Switch INV
terminals on the terminal block can
be used to wire a manual on/off
switch.

The upper board

has p

orts for both the

Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) and the
MATE3 system display. The system display
port is labeled Remote. The RTS port is labeled
Battery Temp.

If a HUB is in use, it occupies the inverter’s
Remote port.

See the Operator’s Manual for more
information on the RTS.
