WARNING
Do not combine the 12V model with 24V battery or the unit will

be destroyed immediately.
Operate with the inverter without a proper ground connection

may cause an electrical safety hazard.
Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered by the

warranty. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position

before putting the battery in.

3-3. AC Safety Grounding

During AC wiring installation, AC input and output ground wires are

connected to the inverter. The AC input ground wire must be connected to

the incoming ground from AC utility source.

The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads

( for example, a distribution panel ground bus ).

3-3-1. Neutral Grounding (GFCI’S):

110V models:The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit of the

Inverter is automatically connected to the safety ground during inverter

operation. This conforms to National Electrical Code requirements that

separately derived from AC sources (such as inverters and generators)

which have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way as

the neutral conductors from the utility tied to ground at the AC breaker

panel. For models configured with a transfer relay, while AC utility

power is present and the Inverter is in bypass mode, this connection

(the neutral of the Inverter’s AC output to input safety ground) is not

present so that the utility neutral is only connected to ground at your

breaker panel, as required. Samlex has tested the following GFCI-

properly when connected to the output of the Inverter.

WARNING
Never connect the inverter’s output to the AC distribution grid,

such as the household AC wall outlet.
It will damage the Inverter.
