3 Installation and Wiring

3.1 Where to Install

The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

•Dry: Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.

•Cool: Ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 60°C.

•Safe: Do not install in a battery compartment or other areas where flammable fumes may exist, such as fuel

storage areas or engine compartments.

•Ventilated: Allow at least three inches of clearance around the inverter for airflow, ensuring that the

ventilation openings on the front, rear and top of the unit are not obstructed.

•Dust Free: Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment where dust, wood particles or other

filings/shavings are present that may be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is operating.

•Close to Batteries: Avoid excessive cable lengths but do not install the inverter in the same compartment as

batteries. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 3.5).

Avoid mounting the inverter where it may be exposed to the gases produced by the battery. Prolonged exposure

to these corrosive gases will damage the inverter.

3.2 Unit Installation

The unit is pre-installed with 19-inch rack brackets. Put the unit to the rack horizontally, and align holes of

mounting brackets and rack. Secure the unit in position with four cross-pan type nickel screws.

3.3 Unit Removal

The unit can be removed from the equipment rack by screwing off the retaining screws.

3.4 AC Safety Grounding

During the AC wiring installation, AC input and output ground wires are connected to the inverter. The AC input

ground wire must connect to the incoming ground from your AC utility source.

The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads.

WARNING

Do not operate the unit without connecting it to ground. Electrical shock hazard may result.

Alpha Technologies Ltd. 014-129-B2 Rev C WC

3.5 DC Wiring Connections

Connect the cables to the power input terminals on the rear panel of the unit.

【＋】is positive, and【－】is negative. Insert the cables into the terminals and tighten the nut to securely clamp

the wires.

Figure 2–DC input terminals

WARNING

Before proceeding, confirm that DC input cable connect correctly.

Make sure that all DC connections are tight (torque to 9-10 foot pounds). Loose connections will

overheat and could result in a potential hazard.

Follow this procedure to connect the battery cables to the DC input terminals on the unit.

The cables should be as short as possible (ideally, less than 10 feet / 3 meters) 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 (too narrow) or are too long will cause decreased inverter performance such as poor

surge capability and frequent low input voltage warnings and shutdowns. These low input voltage warnings are

due to DC voltage drip across the cables from the inverter to the batteries. The longer and narrower these cables,

the greater the voltage drop.

CAUTION – Increasing your DC cable size will help improve the situation.

NOTE: We recommend #6 AWG 40A cables (48Vdc input) for optimum inverter performance (applies to both 110V and

220V series). Use only high quality copper wiring and keep cable length short (from 3-6 feet).
