INSTALLATION
Do not connect incoming AC from any
source to the AC output of the inverter/
charger. This is known as back-feeding
and will damage the unit and void the
warranty.
connect in the same fashion as the AC input
wires.
If you are not connecting the hardwire
output wires (Fleet Power 2000 only), make
certain they can not cause a short circuit to
the wiring compartment. Tug firmly on each
connection to make sure they are secure.
Check these connections first if the unit is
not operating properly.
Carefully tuck the wires into the AC
wiring compartment. Replace cover plate.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
In order to conform to the NEC, certain
branch circuits must be equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Please consult the code or a qualified
electrician for details. Any such branch
circuit must be protected by a circuit
breaker consistent with the GFCI rating.
Underwriters Laboratories has tested the
following GFCI, and its use is recom-
mended. Receptacle Type:
Pass & Seymour
Catalog Number 1591-RW
Rated: 15 Amps at 120 Volts AC
Fleet Power 1000 and 2000 inverter/
chargers provide an integral GFCI outlet
which is protected by a circuit breaker. This
GFCI outlet does not protect the hardwire
AC output. The hardwire AC output is
protected by a non-GFCI circuit breaker on
the Fleet Power 2000 only. The first outlet
from the hardwire output should be GFCI
protected to comply with applicable codes
and standards.
The GFCI Receptacle is designed to
protect from line-to-ground shock hazards
which could occur from defective power

occur when power is applied to both inputs.
The charger can draw up to 27 Amps on
one leg of power and the transfer switch can
pass up to 30 Amps from the other leg of
power.
Single Input: Both the battery charger
and the transfer switch may be fed from the
same AC input. In this case, connect both
pigtails together, black to black, white to
white and green to green.
This allows up to 60 Amps of AC power
to be brought in on a single cable. Up to 30
Amps is available to the loads, with the
balance available to power the battery
charger. A single cable should be protected
by a 60 Amp breaker or smaller, and 6
gauge wire should be used.
AC Output: On the Fleet Power 1000,
AC output is available at the GFCI outlet
mounted on the unit. On the Fleet Power
2000, AC output is available at both the
GFCI outlet and at the AC output compart-
ment. The AC output for the Fleet Power
2500 is available at the AC output compart-
ment only. When installing the Fleet Power
2000 and 2500, feed the 3 conductor AC
output wire through the strain relief and
