Turning Your Inverter On or Off
•
Be sure to have your power inverter properly installed before attempting to
turn the unit On (see “Installation” page 6).
To Turn the Power Inverter On:
1. If a DC power supply is being used as the power source, switch it On.
2. On the left side panel, switch the On/Off Switch to On.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If several loads
are to be operated by the inverter, turn them On separately, after the inverter
has been turned On. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver
the starting currents required for all the loads at once.
To Turn the Power Inverter Off:
1. On the left side panel, switch the On/Off Switch to Off.

Remote On/Off Switch
•
The Remote On/Off Switch allows you to turn On or Off the CobraMarine ™ Power
Inverters from a convenient location — up to 20 feet (6 meters) away — while the
inverter is mounted out of reach and sight.
To Install Remote On/Off Switch:
1. Select a location that is convenient for operation (and
where the Remote On/Off Switch assembly and cable
does not interfere with the driver or a passenger).
Be sure there is adequate clearance behind the panel
before drilling or cutting
2. Cut out the mounting template included with this manual
on a separate card.
3. Position the template on the wall/surface where you want
to install the Remote On/Off Switch.
4. Mark the location of the two screw holes and the square
to be cut out for the switch board.
5. Create two pilot holes for the screws.
6. Cut out the square from the template to accommodate
the switch board.
If cutting a square on the wall is not desirable, use bushings
(not included) to raise the switch assembly so that switch
board clears the wall.
7. Fasten the switch plate using the two screws (included).
8. Connect the cable (RJ-11 connector) to the inverter’s
remote jack.
If more than 20 feet of cable is required, use a 1-to-1 female
connector and a 4-wire conductor, phone extension cord with
RJ-11 male connectors on each end to extend the cable.
50 feet of cable is maximum recommended.
