➢ Marine: Connect the
CHASSIS GND
screw to the boat’s DC grounding
bus or the engine’s negative bus using the recommended copper wire
that is bare or has insulation rated at 90º C.
Chassis Ground Screw
Xantrex recommends that you attach the cable to the chassis ground screw
with a ring terminal. This procedure will ensure that the wire does not slip
off the chassis ground screw.
To connect the cable to the chassis ground screw:
1. Make sure the inverter’s On/Off switch is in the Off position.
2. Remove chassis ground screw and star washer using #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Strip 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) of insulation from one end
of each cable.
4. Attach the ring connector that will join the cable to the chassis ground
screw. The connector you use must create a permanent, low-resistance
connection. (See “Materials” on page 3–15.)
5. Fit the chassis ground screw through the star washer and the ring
connector back into the screw opening.
6. Tighten the chassis ground screw.
