4.0 Installation
4.1 Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
Do not connect this inverter and another AC source (generator
or utility power) to the AC wiring or AC loads at the same time.
Doing so will destroy the inverter and void the warranty,
regardless of the inverter’s on or off status. If you are using
more than one AC source for the AC wiring or AC loads, it is
highly recommended that you install an automatic transfer
switch (GP-TS), available from Go-Power.
Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 32 and 104 °F (0 and 40 °C)
(the cooler the better).
Ventilated – Allow at least two inches of clearance around the inverter for airflow.
Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not
obstructed.
Safe – Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries, or in any
compartment capable of igniting flammable liquids such as gasoline.
Inverter should be located within 10 feet (3 m) of the batteries.
4.2 Hook-up and testing
A reverse polarity connection will blow a fuse in the inverter and
may permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by
reverse polarity connection is not covered by warranty.
For hook-up, please follow these guidelines:
1.
Unpack and inspect your Go Power! Inverter, then check to see that the
power switch is in the OFF position. Set up your power output according to
Table 2 & 3 in
Section 5.6, Power Save.
2.
Insert DC inverter cables (not included) to the power input terminals on the
rear panel of the power inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and black
terminal is negative (-). Connect the cables into the terminals and tighten
the terminal screw to clamp the wires securely.
3.
Connect the cable from the negative terminal of the inverter to the
negative terminal of the battery. Make a secure connection.
