5. Setup
Follow these steps for proper installation of your GIANDEL inverter:
5.1 Mounting the Inverter
- Choose a secure, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
- Ensure there is sufficient space around the inverter for airflow, especially around the cooling fans.
- Mount the inverter horizontally on a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners.
5.2 Battery Connection
Important: Ensure the inverter is OFF before making any battery connections.
- Connect the RED battery cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the other end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the BLACK battery cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal on the inverter.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
5.3 Grounding the Inverter
Connect the provided grounding cable from the inverter's grounding terminal to a reliable earth ground point. This is crucial for safety.
