R EA D F IR ST ! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ FIRST! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Read all instructions and cautionary markings on the Inverter, the batteries and all appropriate sections of this installation and user manual as well as other component manuals before using the system. Be cautious around electricity, electrical components, and batteries. Shocks, burns, injury, and even death can occur if anyone comes in contact with electricity. Install all components and wiring according

IMPORTANT BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: WORKING NEAR LEAD ACID BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets” at the top of the enclosure. Vent the battery compartment from the highest point to the outside. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the flow of hydrogen to the vent opening. CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead aci

SYSTEM PROTECTION Electrical systems are designed to protect you, the wires, the components, and the devices served by the system. • Each Inverter must be part of a permanently grounded electrical system (see below). Grounding protects people and equipment from electrical shock. Grounding must be performed according to required codes and regulations. • Circuit breakers protect wiring by limiting the amount of current entering a system. All wired electrical systems require

WIRE CONNECTIONS DC Wiring The Inverter uses DC brass battery terminals with 8M x 1.00 stainless steel threaded studs. You can access the terminals by removing the four screws that attach the DC cover plate, and pulling it off.

Follow these steps to wire the Inverter to your system: 1. Open all DC breakers or remove any fuses before connecting wiring. 2. Open all AC breakers or remove any fuses before connecting wiring. 3. With all power off, connect the AC IN Maxicon plug wires to the AC source. The AC input wires should have a (maximum) 30-amp AC breaker to provide overcurrent protection. The AC IN Maxicon plug has a total of six conductors. Two are black, two are white, one is green, and one is green with a y

locking collar AC OUT PLUG AC IN PLUG MATE PLUG To connect cables to the Connector Plate sockets: Position each cable plug over the appropriate jack. The cables are easy to tell apart, as the AC In plug has six pins, the AC Out plug only has five, and the MATE plug is smaller than the others. Match each cable to its matching jack and fit the plugs into the jacks. If necessary, twist the plugs back and forth until they fit, and then push them in until they seat in place. (The plugs are key

THE MATE2 SYSTEM CONTROLLER AND DISPLAY The MATE serves several functions: • Allows you to monitor the Inverter through a series of convenient display screens. These display the status messages, and allow you to take both DC (voltage) and AC (voltage and current) meter readings. • Enables you to troubleshoot problems with the Inverter and the rest of your system, by looking up warning and fault messages. • The MATE allows a user to view, monitor, and establish all the pertinent settings
