Installation
16 900-0111-01-00 Rev B
Tools Required
¾ Wire cutters/strippers
¾ Torque wrenches
¾ Assorted insulated screwdrivers
¾ DVM or Voltmeter
Mounting
¾ It is easier for two people to install the GFX inverter due to its weight.
¾ The unit
has four mounting holes, one in each corner. Use fasteners in all four corners for a
secure installation.
¾ Due to the variance in other mounting methods, OutBack only endorses the use of FLEXware or previous
versions of its mounting plate. Use M6 x 20 mm machine screws, one per corner, to attach the inverter to
the mounting plate. Follow the instructions with each mounting system.
IMPORTANT:
Use correct fasteners to secure the GFX inverter to the mounting surface, regardless
of the type of surface. OutBack cannot be responsible for damage to the product if it
is attached with inadequate fasteners.
¾ Mount and secure each component before attaching any wiring.
¾ When the inverter is used with other metal housings, make sure that all housings are grounded
appropriately. (See the grounding instructions on page 18.) Grounding other housings may involve
metal-to-metal contact, or separate ground wires.
¾ If using an OutBack FLEXware Mounting Plate, avoid large air gaps behind the plate. These can result in
louder mechanical noise during heavy inverting or charging. Mount the plate on a flat, solid
mounting surface.
