Battery Cable Connection
Observe Battery Polarity! Place the ring terminal of DC cable over the bolt and directly against the
unit’s battery terminal. Tighten the M8 screw to 5-8 Nm. Do not place anything between the flat
part of the Backup System terminal and the battery cable ring terminal or overheating may
occur. DO NOT APPLY ANY TYPE OF ANTI-OXIDANT PASTE TO TERMINALS UNTIL AFTER
THE BATTERY CABLE WIRING IS TORQUED!!
Figure 3 illustrates the proper method to connect the battery cables to the unit terminals.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care for the high battery voltage in series.
Caution!! Do NOT place anything between battery cable ring terminals and terminals on
the inverter. The terminal screw is not designed to carry current.
Apply Anti-oxidant paste to terminals AFTER terminals have been screwed.
Verify that cable lugs are flush with the battery terminals. Tighten battery cables to terminals (10~15
Nm).
