4 Connecting the 500 Inverter
This section explains how to connect the 500 Inverter.
Choosing a Location
For the best performance, choose a location that is:
• Dry Do not expose the inverter to water drip or spray.
• Cool Operate the inverter in ambient temperatures
between 0° C and 40° C (32° F and 100° F). Keep it
away from heating vents and direct sunlight.
• Well ventilated For proper cooling, allow at least 5 cm
(2 in.) of clearance around the inverter.
• Clean and free of dust and dirt Choose a location
that is free of any debris that could get into the inverter.
• Protected from battery gases Do not mount the
inverter where it will be exposed to battery gases. These
are very corrosive and will damage the inverter.
Fastening the Inverter to a Mounting Surface
For temporary or portable use, place the inverter on a flat
surface like a table or the floor of your vehicle.
For a permanent installation, use four screws to attach the
inverter’s mounting flanges to an appropriate surface.
Note: Local and national electrical codes that apply to your
installation may require that you permanently mount the
inverter if you make permanent electrical connections and
may disallow permanent mounting if you make a temporary
electrical connection.
