Do not cover/obstruct ventilation systems. Use wire in good condition and of appropriate ratings. Attachments not recommended by Cooper Bussmann may be damaging to inverter. Do not use inverter after being dropped, hit, or damaged. Do not disassemble the inverter. Risk of shock, fire, and void of warranty may result.

STEP 1: Determine an installation type Installation of the inverter will involve many common components, some which are shown below. Figure 1-2 shows some of those components and their relevance with each other in a standard heavy truck or recreational vehicle installation.
Page 11
AC Shore Power – [“shore power” refers to AC input power from a utility grid, generator, or other AC source.] To charge batteries and pass power on to an AC load, a source of nominal 115Vac, 60Hz is needed. This source is predominantly the utility grid (wall power, power company) or an AC generator.
Page 12
AC Cabling – AC cabling includes but is not limited to all wires/cables between the AC source and the inverter, and all the cabling between the inverter and AC outputs (panels, circuit breakers, and loads). Wiring type and size varies with installation and load. Installation codes will recommend solid or stranded wires, overall size of conductors, and type/temperature ratings of insulation around the wire.
Page 13
STEP 2: Choose a Location for Inverter Mounting WARNING: Fire and Explosion hazard – It is possible for the inverter to produce arcs and/or sparks, do not install or use inverter near flammable materials (i.e. gas-powered machines, fuel tanks, or any components connecting to a fuel supply).
Page 14
Figure 1-3 Approved Mounting Orientation Connecting the Equipment Ground: WARNING: Fire hazard – Improper grounding may result in a fire hazard. It is crucial to never operate the inverter without ensuring the equipment is properly connected to ground. ...
Wire Routing guidelines Suggested cable size for DC input connections is 00 AWG. See Table 1-1 for the fuse rating required at the battery end of the positive DC input cable. Build the cables before rough fitting them to the vehicle. Note any points that will require special attention to avoid chafing or exposure to heat sources.
necessary, examine applicable codes for specific AC and DC wiring proximities. Figure 1-4 is an illustration of the AC wiring compartment. Figure 1-4 AC Wiring Compartment AC Wiring and GFCIs – AC input must be hardwired to the inverter. AC loads can either be plugged into the GFCI mounted to the front panel of the inverter, or hardwired directly to the panel.
Page 17
The inverter is not meant to operate loads that consume more than 1000 Watts or 1800 Watts (depending on the inverter model being used). The GFCI AC receptacle has been approved by Cooper Bussmann and cannot be removed from the inverter. The AC receptacle must be utilized, unless the AC output is hardwired. ...
Page 18
To make a hardwire connection with the AC OUTPUT of the inverter follow this procedure: 1. Ensure AC and DC power are OFF 2. Install required circuit breaker to the AC load wiring system. 3. Remove the knockout from the sidewall. Do not run the AC input and output wirings through the same knockout.
Page 19
AC wiring WITHOUT an Inverter Subpanel – This wiring configuration has the AC input to the inverter coming from an AC source directly. The AC must then be protected by a branch AC breaker or fuse, see Table 1-1 for fuse recommendations. The AC output is routed to the main AC panel which is protected by AC circuit breakers.
Page 20
To make connections to DC terminals: 1. Ensure the inverter is OFF and no connections are being made to DC or AC circuits. 2. Remove nuts and washers from the DC terminals of the inverter. 3. Depending on the size of the connectors chosen, strip about ¾ inches of insulation from the cables.
Page 21
The image below displays how the terminals should look after installation. Figure 1-6 DC Cable Connections Grounding: The grounding lug located on the sidewall of the inverter at the DC terminal end is used to connect the inverter chassis to the battery system’s negative connection or grounding bus, as required by electrical regulations.
Page 22
7. Route the cable to the inverter and insert the connection into the jack located near the battery select dip switch. IMPORTANT: The communications cable should not be in parallel or in the same conduit as the AC and/or DC wires. If required, only cross the wires at 90° angles of each other. ...
Page 23
Note: If the INVERTER button on the inverter is ON, the inverter will automatically supply the appliance(s) with inverted power from the battery upon the utility/grid power source failing or becoming disconnected. The same will happen if the utility/grid voltage falls too low (less than ≈...
