Inverter Safety Instructions
WARNING: Power inverters produce hazardous voltages. To avoid risk of harm or re, the unit must be
properly installed.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not remove the cover.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be mounted in a location that may be exposed to rain, spray, salt, or
corrosive chemicals.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if correct polarity is not observed when installing the
inverter’s DC input cables.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if an external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC hardwire output.
WARNING: Power inverters contain a circuit breaker and capacitor that may produce a spark upon connection
or during normal operation. Do not mount in a conned battery or gas compartment where toxic fuel vapor is
present.
WARNING: Be sure the power inverter is turned off and AC power is disconnected when batteries are being
connected, disconnected, serviced, and replaced or personal injury and/or damage to the inverter could result.
WARNING: Working near lead-acid batteries is dangerous. There is a risk of acid exposure.
Battery Safety Instructions
WARNING: Batteries may vent explosive gases during operation.
WARNING: There is risk of high current discharge from shorting a battery that can cause re and explosion.
Use insulated tools during installation.
WARNING: Remove all rings, watches, jewelry, or other conductive items before working near the batteries.
WARNING: Inspect the batteries at least once a year for cracks, leaks, or swelling. Follow the scheduled
maintenance procedures from the battery manufacturer.
WARNING: Dispose of the batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate batteries; there is risk of
explosion.
WARNING: A fuse must be installed between the battery and the inverter to protect against shorted cables.

Introduction
12LPC Manual
Specications
All ratings above assume 12.6 VDC nominal voltage, 25°C ambient temperature, and the inverter is mounted in free
air. 12.6 VDC is to be measured at the inverter input terminals.
For use at ambient temperatures less than -20°C, use the hardwire connections. The GFCI may not properly operate
at temps below -20°C.
At temperatures greater than 25°C, the inverter output is de-rated. See graph in “Operation” section of the manual.
LP units operate in inverter mode only. LPC units are able to operate in inverter mode and charge mode with
bypass.

Introduction
12LPC Manual
Design Features
• GFCI: Provides 120 VAC output. Only replace with an approved GFCI.
• Status LED: This LED will show inverter operation mode and troubleshooting information. See the table in
the troubleshooting section at the rear of the manual for further operation mode descriptions.
• Local On/Off: This switch turns the inverter on or off. Switch inoperable for “HR” and “R” congurations.
• AC Input and Output Breakers: Protects the inverter from output short circuits and overloads. The 12LPC15
(inverter/charger) uses 20 A input and 15 A output breakers.
• Bonding Lug: Connects to the system ground.
• DC Input Connections: Connects to the battery bank.
• Remote On/Off Wiring Tab: Terminal is used to wire a customer supplied remote snap “On/Off ” switch.
Apply battery voltage to tab to turn on inverter.
• AUX Wiring Tab: Terminal is used to enable internal housekeeping power only. Apply battery voltage to
enable. Does not turn on inverter output.
• AC Wiring Access Plate: Provides wiring and inspection access to AC output terminals inside the AC wiring
box. To be closed during operations.
• Various Ports: “CAN” is used for connection of a CAN interface. “Temp Sense” is used for connection
a battery temperature sensor (BTS) that is sold separately. “ACC” is used for a remote switch that is sold
separately. The “Sync” port may be plugged with an empty connector because it is currently not used. The
“Temp Sense” port may also be plugged with an empty connector on LP models.
• Unit Protection: Automatic inverter short circuit/overload protection, automatic over temperature shutdown,
and AC output circuit breaker.
• Battery Protection: Automatic low battery shutdown with an in-rush delay. Other low battery settings may be
congured with the NVM Setup Utility.
• Shutdown Timer: Shutdown timer helps preserve battery life over long periods of time. When enabled, the
timer will shut the inverter off in 30 or 60 minutes regardless of load.
• Load Sense: Inverter output will shut off if no load is connected. The inverter will turn back on when it
detects that a load has been connected.
Contact the factory for updated information or for other voltage, current ratings, and battery congurations that
may be available.

INSTALLATION
Mount Inverter
WARNING: Power inverters produce hazardous voltages. To avoid risk of harm or re, the unit must be
properly installed.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be mounted in a location that may be exposed to rain or spray.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
WARNING: Power inverters contain a circuit breaker and capacitor that may produce a spark upon connection
or during normal operation. Do not mount in a conned battery or gas compartment.
Installation Tools
• Wire Termination Crimper
• Cable-Ties
• Drill
• #2 Phillips Screw Driver (with a magnetic end)
• Slotted Screw Driver
• Tape Measure
• Wire Cutters
• Needle Nose Pliers
• Wire Strippers
Inverter Mounting Recommendations
NOTE: The inverter mounting location should provide adequate ventilation and clearance to maintain room
temperature during operation. At least ½” of clearance is required on all sides except the bottom.
1. Locate a suitable, secure mounting surface as close to the batteries as possible without being in the same
compartment.
2. Mount the inverter using four ¼-20 steel bolts, at and lock washers, and nuts. The length of the bolts should
be equal to the thickness of the mounting surface plus ¾”.
