DC Wire Gauge & Fusing
An “Inverter Cable Kit” (positive cable, negative cable, and proper fuse) is needed to connect the inverter to a
battery bank. An 8 AWG single-strand cable is also recommended to connect the inverter’s bonding lug to ground.
The inverter cable length and the size of the inverter will determine the cable gauge and the fuse size to use. The
maximum recommended length for the inverter cable is 15 feet. The cable must be fused within 18 inches from the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Cross reference the inverter model and the estimated cable length in the table below to determine the proper cable
gauge and fuse size. An inverter cable kit designed to SAE guidelines can be purchased directly from our factory –
call for options.

NOTE: 100% duty rating assumes the inverter is operating at its full rated output power continuously for at least
thirty minutes. The 50% duty rating assumes that the inverter is operating at its full rated output power for up to
15 minutes and then operating with a load less than 25% of its full rating for at least 15 minutes before returning
to full power and repeating. Alternatively, it can also operate at 50% of its rated output power continuously. Table
values assume operation in an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). For higher ambient temperatures, additional
derating may be required (i.e. may need to use a larger cable size).
NOTE: The DC input terminals will only accept one cable with the provided cover installed. Cover not required for
use.
Make an “Inverter Cable Kit”
1. Use stranded copper cables in all cases.
2. Use SGX cross-linked polyurethane insulation type that complies with the high temperature insulation
requirements (125°C) of SAE J-1127 and vehicle manufacturer requirements.

Page 12 24NP Manual
AC Input & Output Connections
WARNING: Do not connect another source of AC power directly to the output of the inverter. This will result
in damage not covered under warranty.
WARNING: Do not reverse the input and output AC connections. This will result in damage not covered under
warranty.
The inverter’s 120 VAC output power is provided at the GFCI receptacle and the hardwire terminal blocks behind
the access panel. Wire the AC input to the hardwire terminal blocks behind the access panel for charging and shore
power.
1. Remove the black hole covers as needed for hardwire AC wiring. Use a Romex type clamp to protect the wires
from the metal edge of the hole.
2. Apply 14.0 in-lbs torque to the terminal block screws on DIN rail style and 14.6 in-lbs on the white modular
style.
NOTE: Systems rated at 2400 watts and above, the AC input should be protected by a 30 A branch rated input
breaker external to the inverter/charger
NOTE: Connecting the AC inverter input to a GFCI protected outlet may cause some interference with the
inverter’s GFCI.
NOTE: The AC output should be protected by a branch rated breaker external to the inverter if required to comply
with the NEC, NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.

Installation
24NP Manual
BTS Connection
Charger operation with a battery temperature sensor, or BTS, cable is required. The BTS measures the battery
temperature and automatically adjusts the charger output for the fastest and safest charge.
Lead-Acid
When batteries are cold, their chemical reaction is slowed, and the battery will not charge as easily in this condition.
A charge voltage optimized for room temperature will not charge the battery at low temperatures. The temperature
sensor cable allows the charger to increase the charge voltage for optimum charging at low temperatures.
When batteries are hot, their chemical reaction is accelerated, and the batteries absorb energy too readily. A charge
voltage optimized for room temperature will tend to overcharge the batteries and cause gassing. The BTS will cause
the charger to decrease the charge voltage to a safe level.
The charger will switch to a “warm battery” mode in which the charger will only provide a oat voltage when the
batteries are between 50°C/122°F and 60°C/140°F. If the battery temperature continues to rise over 60°C/140°F
the charger will shut off. The charger will resume charging in the “warm battery” mode when the battery cools to
55°C/131°F. The charger will resume normal charging when the battery cools to 45°C/113°F.
LFP
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries should not be charged at temperatures less than 0°C/32°F as this may
permanently reduce the battery capacity. The Dimensions inverter/charger can support different proles or modes
for cold charging. The charger can be set to shut down once it reaches the cold shutdown threshold or it can be set
to ignore (not use) the cold shutdown threshold. If set to cold shutdown: After the battery temp sensor warms to
the charge ok temp there is a delay before charging starts. This delay allows the cells located inside the battery time
to warm as there is a thermal lag from the internal cells to the battery post where the battery temp sensor is located.
NOTE: If a user has a battery with a heater, the user should choose proles with cold shutdown disabled or “not-
used.” Ignoring the shutdown will allow the charger to supply voltage to the battery heater (and any other connected
DC load). The current will still be limited to 0.1C so most DC loads should still not be used.

Page 14 24NP Manual
BTS Connection Continued
Install the BTS
1. Connect the lug end of the battery temperature sensor to the battery.
NOTE: Lead-acid battery type will connect the BTS to the negative post of the battery. LFP battery types will
connect the BTS to the positive post of the battery.
2. Connect the connector to the appropriate port located at the rear of the inverter labeled “Temp Sense.” The
BTS is part# ME- BTS-XX (XX=length in feet - 6, 8, 15, 25, 40). The 40 ft version comes standard with the
inverter/charger (unless a non-charger version is ordered).
NOTE: If the BTS is not connected, the battery charger will not function.

OPERATION
Inverter Power Mode
Control the inverter with the display panel “On/Off ” key or a voltage between 8 and 32 volts applied to the
“Remote On/Off ” input tab.
The 7-segment display panel “On/STBY” LED will be green, and the status LED will blink amber while the
inverter is on. The AC power produced by the inverter comes from the energy stored in the battery bank. A
transformer, a Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET), a lter capacitor, and microprocessor
control are used to generate clean AC power with THD <5%.
The inverter will operate at DC input voltages ranging from 21 to 34 volts. If the DC input measures between
33 and 34 volts for greater than ve minutes, the inverter will shut down. Above 34 volts, the system will stop
operating due to input voltage being out of range. The inverter can tolerate up to 34 VDC input. When the input
voltage drops to 21.0 volts, the inverter will stop operating due to a low battery condition. When the lead-acid
battery bank voltage drops to 21 volts, the battery is considered to be fully discharged.
NOTE: Inverters have a large capacitance on the DC input terminals. If the capacitors are discharged when
LFP batteries are connected, a large inrush current may occur. The inrush current may cause the BMS within the
LFP battery to immediately disconnect. This issue will occur if the amount of connected battery amp-hrs is not
sufcient to support the inverter size.
External Power Mode
The 7-segment display panel will show charger mode and output and the status LED will blink green indicating
that there is a valid external AC power line applied to the inverter AC input. There may be a 30 second delay before
charge or bypass is enabled while the AC input power is qualied.
Bypass Relay
The loads attached to the inverter output will operate directly from the external AC power line independently of
the inverter on/off status. If the inverter is left on (standby mode), the built-in bypass relay will automatically cycle
back and forth between “inverter power” and “external power” mode depending on the availability of the external
AC power line.
Battery Charger
WARNING: Customer must match battery type with charger battery type.
The battery charger will engage automatically and independently of the inverter on/off status.
NOTE: When in charge mode, the charger may not be able to charge at its full capacity if AC power is being used
in bypass mode.
NOTE: The charger is capable of charging AGM, gel, wet lead-acid, or LFP batteries. The battery type may also
be set via the 7-Seg Display, the optional LCD remote display (sold separately), or RV-C CAN. Contact factory for
further details on RV-C CAN. The LCD part number may be found in the Appendix.

Load Management
Incoming AC power is shared between the AC loads and the charger. The AC loads are given priority; this means
that the charger will reduce its output when AC loads are applied. This feature also controls the total amperage draw
of the system so that the utility service circuit breaker is not tripped. The load management feature will return the
charger to full output when the AC loads are removed or reduced.
Figure 9 Load Management
The total amperage draw of the system is controlled by the AC limit setting also known as the BCR. These terms
may be used interchangeably. The default AC limit is set by the factory to 15 A. The BCR may be changed at the
factory or through the NVM Setup Utility, 7 Seg Display, or the optional LCD remote.
NOTE: Dynamic external loads (such as motors or pumps that continuously vary the power required) may cause
variations in the charge rate. The charger may reset if the dynamic load causes the input AC waveform to become
temporarily disqualied.
