TO AVOID FIRE HAZARDS CAUSED BY DAMAGED DC WIRES, ALWAYS
PLACE A BATTERY SYSTEM FUSE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO YOUR
BATTERY TERMINALS.
Recommended battery fuse size is : 150A..200A
CAUTION
THE RED WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL
AND THE BLACK WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL OF THE
BATTERY.
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can damage the inverter!
Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered by the warranty. Make sure
CAUTION
the powerswitch is in the OFF '0' position before connecting the battery.
IF THE INVERTER IS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY WITH INCORRECT
POLARITY, THE DC FUSE WILL BLOW.
To replace the internal DC fuse, see chapter 5.2 for further information. If the
fuse blows again, even with the correct polarity applied, the inverter is damaged
and must be returned for service.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT OTHER DC POWERED EQUIPMENT TO THE SAME
BATTERY THAT POWERS YOUR INVERTER.
It's possible that the performance of some equipment, that isn't properly
WARNING
protected against ripple current, may be affected when connected to the same
battery that powers the inverter.
This dosn't apply for batterychargers and lighting.
2.5.1 General precautions about working with batteries
1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate explosive
gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.
2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
Wash your hands when done.
3. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
4. Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a
battery might cause a shorted battery and an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld
a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns.
