Mounting the Inverter

Your PowerBright

Inverter should not be mounted under the hood of a vehicle.

If installing in a vehicle, choose a dry, cool, ventilated area closest to the battery

as practical. Before drilling any mounting holes, make sure that there are no

wires, fuel lines, or tanks directly behind the surface to be drilled.

To mount the inverter:

1. Inverter ON/OFF switch must be in the OFF position.

2. The inverter should be mounted horizontally.

3. Position the inverter against the mounting surface and mark locations of the

mounting screw openings.

4. Remove the inverter and drill four mounting holes.

5. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant fasteners

sized #10 or larger.

Connecting the Inverter

This inverter has two DC cable connections, one positive and one negative. The

order of steps in the following procedure minimizes the danger of sparking near

the battery bank.

1. Prepare all cable set ends with ring terminals at the battery ends.

2. Install one fuse holder with fuse in the Pos cable close to the battery

bank end.

3. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter

is in the OFF (O) position.

4. Ensure all appliance cords or extension cords are disconnected from

the inverter.

5. Connect an AWG 8 stranded insulated wire to the enclosure ground

terminal and connect the free end of the wire to the vehicle’s chassis or

any other ground point.

6. Connect the unfused cable to the Negative (-) terminal of the battery bank.

7. Connect the Negative cable to the Inverter’s Negative (-) terminal.

8. Insulate the end of cable to be connected to the Pos (+) Inverter terminal.

9. Connect the fused cable to the battery bank Pos (+) terminal.

10. Connect the Pos cable end to the Pos (+) inverter terminal.

NOTE: Sparking is normal for the first connection.

Make sure you have good secure connections – Do not over-tighten.
