5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to connect your inverter to a 24V battery system.
5.1 Battery System Configuration
The inverter requires a 24V DC input. If using 12V batteries, connect them in series to achieve 24V.
Image: A visual guide for DC connection, showing the spark-proof nuts and the three steps for connecting battery cables.
- Identify Battery Terminals: Confirm the positive (+) and negative (-) poles of your 12V batteries.
- Series Connection for 24V: Connect the positive terminal of one 12V battery to the negative terminal of another 12V battery using a short cable. This creates a 24V series connection.
- Connect to Inverter:
- Step 1: Connect Negative Cable First. Attach the black cable to the negative terminal of your 24V battery bank. Then, connect the other end of the black cable to the negative terminal of the inverter.
- Step 2: Contacting Spark-Proof Nut. After connecting the red cable to the positive terminal of your 24V battery bank, briefly touch the other side of the red cable to the spark-proof nut on the inverter's positive terminal for 3-5 seconds. This helps to prevent sparks during final connection.
- Step 3: Connect Positive Cable. Securely connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the inverter.
- Tighten Connections: Ensure all screws on the battery terminals and inverter terminals are tightened to maintain stable current flow and prevent overheating.
