When connecting the inverter, always ensure correct polarity; never swap the con-
nections!
Red connection terminal = plus pole (+)
Black connection terminal = minus pole (-)
The inverter should never be directly connected to a direct voltage source (e.g. a
car battery), but only via an accordingly sized fuse. This fuse should be placed as
close as possible to the direct voltage source.
A short circuit between the poles of a rechargeable battery may not only cause light
arc and welding of the connection cables, but also explosion! This not only poses a
danger of fire, but also severe danger of injury (e.g. from the acid in a lead battery).
Therefore, proceed very carefully when connecting the connection cables between
inverter and rechargeable battery.
Observe that the cables cannot get into any rotating parts of the vehicle (fans,
v-belt, etc.).
Use only the enclosed cables or at least equal cables with a sufficient line cross-
section and suitable cable lugs for connection.
If you want to use longer cables, you may need to use cables with a larger line
cross-section. The following applies: The larger the line cross-section and the
shorter the cable, the lower the voltage drop on the line.
A too-high voltage drop on the line may cause premature undervoltage deactivation
of the inverter.
Suitable ring cable lugs are needed to connect the lines to the terminals of the
inverter. Clamping in of the open cable ends or even soldering on is not permitted.
Tighten the screw terminals by hand; do not use any tools, to not apply any force.
Secure or attach the inverter and all cables, e.g. when using them in a vehicle, so
that proper operation of the vehicle is ensured and the inverter cannot come loose.
