WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. Ensure that all the DC connections are tight — torque between 9to10 ftlb (11.7to13Nm). Loose
connections could result in overheating and can be a potential hazard.
4. Some components in the inverter can cause arcs and sparks. Do not put batteries, flammable
materials, or anything that should be ignition-protected around the inverter. Doing so may result in fire
or explosion. Be extra cautious so as to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a vehicle battery.
Doing so might cause the battery to spark or might short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts
that may cause an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.
6. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, remove the affected clothing and wash the affected area
of your skin immediately with soap and water. If battery acid enters your eye, immediately flood the
eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical assistance immediately.
7. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery. This may cause the battery to
explode.
8. Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in the case of a short circuit. A fuse must be
installed on the positive supply cable as close as practical to the battery. Failure to do so provides
inadequate protection against fire in the case of a short circuit. Only use high quality copper cable and
keep the cable length short, refer to Section 2.2.4 (page 10) for more information.
NOTICE
• Upon receipt, examine the box for damage. If you have found any damage on the box please notify the
company you purchased this unit from.
• Install the inverter in a well-ventilated area with reasonable clearance. Do not install the inverter in a
zero-clearance compartment or obstruct the ventilation openings. Doing so may result in the inverter
overheating and ultimately damage the inverter.
• Reverse Polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may damage the inverter permanently and
will void warranty.
• Do not operate appliances that may feed power back into the inverter. Damage to the inverter may
occur as a result.
• Ensure that the frequency output of the inverter matches the frequency requirements of all
appliances and equipment to be used with the inverter. Attempting to use appliances that requires
an AC frequency different to the inverter output may result in damage to your appliances. Output AC
frequency is dip switch selectable, see section 2.1.2 (page 7).
• All RS Series Inverters are suitable for indoor use only.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting
The power inverter should be used in an environment that meets the following requirements:
1. Dry — Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter.
2. Cool — Ambient air temperature should be between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C), the cooler the
better.
3. Safe — Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where volatile fumes may
exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments.
4. Ventilated — Keep the inverter at a distance (at least 1” (25mm)) away from surrounding objects.
Ensure all ventilation openings are not obstructed.
5. Dust — Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment where the dust can enter into the unit, and
especially not drawn into the product when the cooling fan is working.
6. Fused — Batteries can supply very large currents, a fuse must be fitted between the battery and the
inverter with the fuse located as close to the batteries positive terminal as possible to protect the
wiring.
7. Close to batteries — Avoid excessive cable runs between battery and inverter to reduce the voltage
drop across the cable. For safety reasons however, even when installed in a well ventilated area
the inverter should not be installed within 12" (300mm) of the battery. The inverter must never be
installed within the same enclosed compartment with the battery.
8. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 2.2.4).
9. Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to the gasses produced by the battery. These
gasses are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT EXPOSE THE INVERTER TO RAIN, SNOW, SPRAY, BILGE OR DUST. DOING SO MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER OR OTHER APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN THE SYSTEM OR RESULT IN ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR FIRE.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE INVERTER - THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY CONTAINS
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE
AND WILL VOID THE UNIT WARRANTY.

The fan is load and temperature controlled and will engage when the AC Power Consumption reaches a
certain level and when the unit gets hot. Ensure that the fan is not obstructed and is at a distance of at
least 0.98” (25mm) from surrounding objects.
NOTICE
Install the inverter in a well-ventilated area with reasonable clearance. Do not install the inverter in a
zero-clearance compartment or obstruct the ventilation openings. Doing so may result in the inverter
overheating and ultimately damage the inverter.
3.3 Safety Before Installing DC Wiring Connections
3.3.1 Loads Are Disconnected
Make sure all loads are disconnected from the inverter’s AC output and ensure that the inverter main
switch is set to the OFF position before connecting DC cables.

3.4 Check Cable and Fuse size
Make sure to use suitably rated cables and fuses for your installation, refer to Section 2.2.4 (page 10)
for more information.
NOTICE
Use suitably rated cable as per section 2.2.4 (page 10). A cable below the recommended rated length
will result in an increased voltage drop when the inverter is under load, which will ultimately effect the
inverters performance.
Do not operate inverter with damaged or underrated cables or without an appropriately sized fuse. Under
sized cables and/or an over-sized fuse may result in harm or damage to the installer and/or damage to
the inverter or other appliances installed in the system.
3.5 Chassis Ground Connection
Connect Chassis Ground Terminal to the ground of vehicle, this applies to all negative ground vehicles.
Chassis Ground must be connected to the ground of vehicle prior to making any other connections
to the inverter.
CAUTION
REVERSE POLARITY CONNECTION WILL BLOW THE INTERNAL FUSE AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO
THE INVERTER. RISK OF FIRE. THESE INVERTERS CAN DRAW VERY LARGE DC CURRENTS. A BATTERY TYPE AND
CONFIGURATION MUST BE SELECTED THAT CAN SAFELY AND RELIABLY SUPPLY BOTH THE STEADY STATE AND PEAK
TRANSIENT CURRENTS DRAWN BY THE INVERTERS. THIS MAY REQUIRE MULTIPLE BATTERIES TO BE CONNECTED IN
PARALLEL AND BE WIRED TO SHARE CURRENT EQUALLY. THE SELECTION OF BATTERIES AND WIRING MUST BE DONE
BY A SUITABLE QUALIFIED PERSON.
