Power wire and wiring are very important to the
performance of the inverter. Because the inverter has a
low voltage, high current input, low resistance wiring is
essential between the battery and inverter. This is so it
can deliver the maximum amount of energy to the load.
Only use the cables provided with your power inverter.
To connect the cables between the inverter
and the battery:
1. Turn the On/Off Switch on the inverter to the off
position. If the power source is a DC power supply,
switch it off as well.
2. Connect cable to the Power Input Terminals on
right side panel of the inverter. The red terminal is
positive (+) and the black terminal is negative (-).
Insert the ends of the cables onto the terminals and
tighten the screws to clamp the cables safely.
