SAFETY & WARNINGS
Read this manual carefully and understand all Warnings and Cautions before connections are
made to the Inverter. If unsure about any aspects of the installation call ICT Technical Support
at (604) 856-6303, 8:00AM to 4:30PM Pacific Standard Time.

WARNING:
Check the battery polarity and voltage before connecting the unit. Incorrect
polarity will damage the unit.
4
WARNING:
Make sure that all the DC connections are tight. Loose connections could result
in Overheating and can be a potential hazard.
4
WARNING:
The AC neutral lead is internally bonded to chassis. The chassis must be
bonded to earth ground through the external ground connector located at the back of the unit.
4
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate the Inverter from any power source other than a
battery.
The 12 Volt Inverter (ICT300-12SNV) must be connected to a
12 Volt
battery.
The 24 Volt Inverter (ICT300-24SNV) must be connected to a
24 Volt
battery.
The 48 Volt Inverter (ICT300-48SNV) must be connected to a
48 Volt
battery.
Connecting the Inverter to any other battery may damage to unit.
4
WARNING:
Calculate the total power consumption (W) of the output load. Make sure the
total power consuption does not exceed the rated load capacity of the Inverter.
4
CAUTION:
No user serviceable parts inside. Only ICT personnel are authorized to service
the unit.
4
CAUTION:
It is the installerʼs responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable
installation codes and regulations.
4
CAUTION:
Before any connections are made to the unit or system, be sure to disconnect
the battery terminals. Always disconnect the grounded battery terminal first. When
reconnecting, connect ungrounded terminal first, and grounded terminal last.
4
CAUTION:
Avoid mounting the unit near sources of moisture, flammable gases or fumes.
4
CAUTION:
Do not block the fan opening on the front of the Inverter.
4
CAUTION:
Follow the provided wire size recommendations provided in this manual. DC
connection cables should be as short as possible and large enough to handle the required
current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation.
Cables that are not an adequate gauge, or are too long, will result in excessive voltage drop,
decrease inverter performance, and possibly damage the unit.
4
CAUTION:
To ensure that the Inverterʼs safety features are not compromised, use the
Inverter as specified in the manual and do not substitute parts or make any unauthorized
modifications.
4
Install an in-line fuse (not supplied) in the positive lead from the battery to the Inverter (see
page 4).
