DC Wiring
DC wiring is generally very simple, the
positive (+, may be red for identification) and
negative (-, may be black or yellow for
identification) cables from the inverter/charger
terminal posts are connected to the house or
auxiliary battery. Connection to the engine
starter battery is not recommended.
High current will pass through the DC
wiring. All wires must be properly sized and
all connections clean and tight. It is
recommended that the battery cable length
does not exceed 10 feet.
Battery cables should be connected to the
inverter/charger before any connections are
made to the battery. Follow the battery
hardware stackup diagram.
• Remove the negative (-) battery cable
cover from the unit and attach the battery
cable. Tighten the battery terminal bolts to a
torque value between 160 inch-pounds and
180 inch--pounds. Replace the cover for the
negative terminal before removing the cover for
the positive terminal.
