SureSine Inverter Quick Start Guide
Power UP Sequence:
1. Connect Battery/Battery Bank. (STEP 8)
2. Connect AC loads. (STEP 9)
3. Close all circuit breakers, disconnect switches, or
insert fuse into fuse holder. (STEP 10)
4. Put the AC Output Mode Switch in the ON (or
REMOTE) position. (STEP 11)
Power DOWN Sequence:
1. Put the AC Output Mode Switch in the OFF position.
2. Open all circuit breakers, disconnect switches,
remove fuses from fuse holders.
3. Disconnect AC loads.
4. Disconnect Battery/Battery Bank.
Mounting:
Minimum Clearance Requirements:
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Do not expose the SureSine to weather. Locate in a
dry, protected area to prevent equipment damage.
Ensure the minimum clearance requirements are
followed to provide adequate ventilation and prevent
the unit from overheating.
IMPORTANT: Example only. Actual wiring may vary.
READ the SureSine
Installation and Operations Manual for mandatory safety requirements.
All
configuration must comply with local and national electric codes. Consult the
local electric authority to ensure compliance.
WARNING: Risk of Fire
Do not install over an easily combustible surface,
since the heat sink may get hot under certain
operating conditions.
Step 1: Choose mounting location
A) Determine how and where the inverter will be mounted.
B) Ensure the inverter is protected from sun, rain, and dust.
Step 2: Wiring accessibility and air flow clearance
A) Plan and confirm wire routing-access.
B) Verify that the mounting screws will not penetrate wires or
other objects located on the opposite side of the surface.
C) Verify that there is at least 6" of space around the unit.
Step 3: Mark and drill holes
A) Place the inverter on the wall where the unit will be mounted.
B) With a pencil or pen, mark the center of each keyhole slot;
two (2) on top and two (2) on the bottom.
C) Remove the inverter and drill four (4) 1/8" (3.175 mm) holes
where the marks were made.
Step 4: Secure the inverter
A) Place the SureSine onto the surface and align the keyhole slots
with the four (4) pilot holes.
B) Use the four (4) #10 screws (included) to secure the SureSine to the surface.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard
STEP 8 can produce a spark if the
fuse is inserted or the disconnect
is in the CLOSED position.
2BEFORE INSTALLING:
Ensure the fuse is removed from
the fuse holder or the disconnect
is in the OPEN position.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure there is only 1 Neutral-to-
Ground Bond in the entire system.
Consult Section 2.6.4 of the
Installation & Operations Manual for
additional information.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Fuses, single-pole circuit breakers or
single-pole disconnect switches should
NEVER open grounded system
conductors. This could create a shock
hazard that could be fatal to personnel
and/or damage the equipment.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Ensure the AC load do not exceed the
continuous and surge power ratings.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Ensure the AC load do not exceed the
continuous and surge power ratings.
WARNING: Risk of Fire
All over-current protection devices
and wiring must be sized properly, in
accordance with US National Electric
Code (NEC) or the country of
installation s local regulations.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Never install the SureSine in an
enclosure with vented/flooded
batteries. Battery fumes are
flammable and will corrode and
destroy the SureSine circuits. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
For optimal ventilation
and cooling, mount in
portrait style orientation.
CAUTION: Burn Hazard
Place in a location to avoid direct contact.
