3.9 Battery connections
Cable connection at the batteries - Positive side
The Positive cable is fitted with a red heat shrink. Connect this cable to battery 1 by making sure the terminal is
in full contact with battery link’s terminals. If there is an accessory located on this pole, you must place it on top
of the inverter terminal, NOT underneath.
Cable connection at the batteries - Negative side
The Negative cable is fitted with a black heat shrink. Connect this cable to the most distant possible battery (i.e.:
battery 4) by making sure the terminal is in full contact with battery link’s terminals. If there is an accessory
located on this pole, you must place it on top of the inverter terminal, NOT underneath.
Attach all the cable on the battery links using the cable ties. Do not cut any excess cable. Just make sure it is
properly attached.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE THE INVERTER IS OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING!
You may observe a spark when making the cable connections since current will flow
for the first time to charge capacitors inside the inverter. This is normal. Always
wear safety glasses and do not make cable connections in the presence of flammable
fumes or material; it may result in explosion and/or fire.
CAUTION!
Reversing the polarity when connecting the DC cables will permanently damage
your inverter. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
4 Operations
To operate the power inverter, turn it ON by using the ON/OFF switch on LCD remote control and/or the front
panel. The inverter is now ready to deliver 120 Volt power to your loads. If you intend to operate several loads
from the inverter, turn them ON one by one. This will prevent the inverter from having to provide the starting
load for all devices simultaneously.
4.1 Operating limits
Power output: Your inverter is designed to deliver its full output capacity on a continuous basis, and has
a 200% (double) power surge capacity for ±0.3 seconds. The power surge capacity
CANNOT be considered as usable Wattage. It is strictly meant to quickly start the heavy
loads.
Input voltage:
The inverter will operate with an input voltage ranging between 10.5 and 15 Volt for the
HTS (11 to 15 Volt for the HTST).
Optimum performance is achieved with an input voltage between 12.0 and 14.0 Volt.
