3.  INSTALLATION 

WARNING:

 Nature Power recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or 

electrician to ensure adherence to the applicable electrical safety wiring regulations and 
installation codes. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and could also 
result in personal injury or loss of life.

 

CAUTION:

 

Before beginning your Nature Power Inverter Installation, please consider the following: 

  The Nature Power Inverter base unit should be used or stored in an indoor area away from 

direct sunlight, heat, moisture or conductive contaminants. 

  When placing the unit, allow a minimum of three inches of space around the unit for optimal 

ventilation.

Typical Wiring block diagram of the Power Inverter: 

Important:

  Choose  your  AWG  by  the  distance  you  will  mount  your  inverter  from  the  battery. We 

recommend  stranded  wire.  Stranded  wire  does  not  fatigue  or  loose  connections  over  time.  It  is 
best to attach wires using crimped connectors. 

 

6   Meters  >   10 AWG 

 

9   Meters  >   8 AWG 

 

Note:

 Longer distances are not recommended or loss of current may occur.
