4. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your inverter. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Tauwāhi Whakapuru: Choose a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. The inverter should be mounted securely using its pre-slotted mounting plate. Ensure sufficient space around the unit for airflow, especially around the cooling fan and vents.
2. DC Input Wiring:
   • Connect the inverter directly to a 12 Volt battery bank. For 8000 Watts of power, two sets of 4/0 gauge cables are required for both positive and negative connections to minimize voltagka taka, ā, ka ārai i te wera nui.
   • Tūhonohia te kāpeka pai (+) o te kaitahuri ki te kāpeka pai (+) o te peeke pākahiko.
   • Tūhonohia te kāpeka tōraro (-) o te kaitahurihuri ki te kāpeka tōraro (-) o te peeke pākahiko.
   • Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause excessive heat and damage.
3. Whakapapa: Connect the inverter's chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground. This is a critical safety step.
4. Hononga Putanga AC:
   • The inverter features quadruple Type 2 - 3 prong AC output sockets for standard appliances.
   • For higher power loads or permanent installations, use the AC direct connect terminal block. Ensure the main power ON/OFF switch is OFF before connecting wires to the terminal block. Connect Live, Neutral, and Earth wires as indicated.
5. Whakawhiti Mamao (Kōwhiringa): If using an optional remote switch, connect it to the designated remote port on the inverter.

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

1. Whakahiko: After ensuring all connections are secure and correct, switch the inverter's main power ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The inverter will perform a self-test, and the cooling fan may briefly activate.
2. Aroturuki: Observe the digital volt meter to confirm the battery voltage is within the operating range (10 to 15 Volts DC). The amp meter will display the current draw when AC loads are connected.
3. Connecting AC Loads: Plug your AC appliances into the output sockets or ensure your hardwired loads are connected to the AC terminal block. Start with smaller loads and gradually add larger ones.
4. Tohu Maramatanga:
   • Over Temp LED: Illuminates if the inverter's internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits. The inverter may shut down to protect itself.
   • Over Load LED: Illuminates if the connected AC load exceeds the inverter's continuous or surge capacity. The inverter may shut down.
5. Weto Whakakore: Before disconnecting any AC loads or servicing the inverter, switch the main power ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.
