INSTALLATION and START-UP
This section will provide the user with information to install the RE-ACM into a power system.
5.1 Installation and Start-up
This installation procedure is to provide a method for installation of the RE-ACM. Please refer also to the
RE-4500 Owners Manual for information on installing the Inverter.
Unpacking the ACM
1. Inspect the shipping container and equipment for loose or damaged parts. If any damage is found,
immediately notify the freight carrier.
Inverter Installation Considerations
1. Mounting: Locate a secure, dry, flat vertical surface large enough to mount the ACM (and other
modules if used – Inverter/Charger and DCM). The location should be as close to the battery as
possible, usually within six feet, but not in the same compartment and should provide adequate
ventilation while the inverter is operating. The location must be clean, dry and free of dripping water,
or other moisture contamination.
2. Cooling Fan Clearance for the Inverter: The mounting location must allow unobstructed airflow for
cooling the Inverter. Remember to take this into account when mounting the ACM. Allow a minimum
clearance of 12 inches (30.48 cm) on bottom and sides of the RE-4500. The Cooling Fan is a
thermostatically controlled exhaust fan. Air is drawn into the inverter from the intake vents and
exhausted by the fan. Obstruction of the fan exhaust or the intake vents will diminish the inverter
output capacity due to overheating.
3. The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and any
other state or local codes in effect at the time of installation. These codes have been written for your
protection and their requirements should be followed.
4. Remove the bottom cover (for the AC Raceway) to expose the AC wiring compartment and the AC
Utility and Load Wiring Terminal Block. Input and Output Circuits for L1 and L2 are identified on the
terminal block label and are defined in Section 4, items 26 and 27.
5. Route the AC output wiring with as much physical separation as possible from low voltage wiring
such as audio and video signal wires, and the Input DC wiring. This is accommodated in the system
through the physical separation of the AC and DC wiring raceways.
6. To conform to local and national electrical codes, proper installation of strain reliefs and/or conduit is
important. If strain reliefs are used, tighten the strain relief cable clamps to keep the wire from
moving around in the entry/exit port.
