2. Using 8.4mm
2
(8 AWG) wire or heavier, extend the
power cord if you need to, to a maximum total length of
2 meters (6.5 feet) including the existing 500 Inverter
power cord length. Solder all connections and make
sure they are properly insulated by using electrical tape
or heat shrinkable tubing.
3. Install an 80 amp automotive fuse and a switch rated at
80 amps in the positive (red) wire, close to the end that
will attach to the battery. See Figure 6. The switch lets
you disconnect the DC power if you need to replace the
in-line fuse. Solder and insulate the connections as
detailed in Step 2 above.
4. Turn off the in-line switch.
5. Solder or crimp heavy-duty terminals to the battery end
of the positive and negative wires. Use terminals that
mate properly with the battery terminals or existing
battery cable clamps.
Warning!
Damage to the 500 Inverter.
Reversing the positive and negative battery
cables will damage the inverter and will void
your warranty.
Before connecting the inverter to the battery,
double check the connections: the red wire must
be connected to the red terminal on the inverter
and the positive (+) terminal on the battery; the
black wire must be connected to the black
terminal on the inverter and the negative (–)
terminal on the battery.
