3. Installation

* All wiring must follow the National Electric Code. Install shall be in accordance with the Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1

3.1 Location

Follow all the local regulations to install the inverter.

Install the equipment in a location that is dry, clean, cool with good ventilation.

Working temperature: ‐10℃‐40℃(-14℉ to 104℉) Maximum working temperature 40℃

Storage temperature: ‐40‐70℃(-40℉ to 158℉)

Relative Humidity:

0% to 95%，non-condensing

Cooling: forced air

WARNING

The unit is to be installed so that children or passersby can’t access the inverter.

3.2 DC Wiring

AIMS recommends keeping the battery bank as close as possible to the inverter. The following table is a

suggested wiring option for applications using <10 feet of DC cable.

Please find the following minimum wire size. For applications using DC cable >10 feet, use a larger cable

size.

Inverter Power

DC Input voltage

Wire Gage

8KW

48Vdc

1 /0 AWG

12KW

48Vdc

1/ 0 AWG

Performance of any product can be improved by thicker cable and shorter runs, so if in doubt, round up and

keep the length as short as possible.

For more wiring configurations for your specific system, please contact AIMS Power for more information.

*Installer to use protection not less than the short circuit current

WARNING

The torque rating range for DC terminal is 19.8NM-24.6NM, and the suggested torque rating is

22.5NM. Over torqueing may cause the bolt to break.

Additional flow protection must be added on the external battery box

In the event of reverse polarity, the unit could be destroyed, and warranty voided!

When replacing batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.

Proper disposal of batteries is required, refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
