Planning the Installation
This section provides information to help you plan for a basic installation of the
MS2000.
As your system configuration is determined, record the details in Information
About Your System on page WA-4 of the MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger
Operation Guide.
Two Key Performance Factors
Two key factors in particular will have a major impact on system performance.
Size and Length of DC Cables
To select the appropriate size and length of DC cables, see DC Cabling on
page 11.
The DC cables should be as short as possible and large enough to handle the
required current, in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable
to your installation. If battery cables are in excess of 10 feet each (10 feet for the
positive cable and 10 feet for the negative cable) or not of sufficient size, the
voltage drop across the cables will have a negative impact on overall system
performance.
Mounting Location of the MS2000
To choose an appropriate location for mounting the inverter/charger, see
Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/Charger on page 16.
