Installation Requirements
•
The inverter must be installed in an area that meets all of the following requirements:
A. Dry
Do not place in an area where water can drip or splash on the inverter.
B. Cool
Ambient air temperature should be between 30°F and 105°F (0°C and 40°C).
The cooler the better.
C. Ventilate
Allow at least 1 inch (3 cm) of clearance around the inverter for proper airflow.
Make sure that ventilation openings on the ends of the unit are not obstructed.
CAUTION To avoid fire, do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do
not install inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
CAUTION The inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal
output voltage of 12 volts. It will not work with a 6 volt battery, and will be
damaged if it is connected to a 16 volt battery.
WARNING This unit contains components which can produce arcs or sparks.
To prevent fire or explosion, do not install in compartments containing a
battery or flammable materials, or in a location which requires ignition
protected equipment.
