3.6.11 DISABLING THE NEUTRAL TO CHASSIS GROUND CONNECTION
The IC Series Inverter/Charger has the automatic neutral to ground switching feature enabled as a factory default setting. In
some installations this feature must be physically disabled by disconnecting the neutral to chassis ground connection. Please
consult your local code requirements to see if this feature must be physically disconnected.
The chassis ground connection (used for AC and DC grounding) on the outside of the Inverter/Charger should still be connected
to the system’s earth ground, even if the ground to neutral switching has been disabled.
WARNING: Disconnect all AC and DC power sources before working in the AC terminal wiring area.
1. Remove the AC cover plate.
2. Locate the two ground terminals. To the left of these connectors
is a Phillips screw. This screw must be un-screwed and removed
from the compartment. Keep this screw in a safe place.
3. Re-attach the AC cover plate.

3.6.12 GROUNDING ON BOATS
IfyouareinstallingtheICSeriesInverter/Chargeronaboattherearesomespecicguidelines/standardstofollow.TheInverter/
Charger must be installed adhering to the standards of the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council). Some guidelines are out-
lined below but these notes do not replace the full guidelines detailed in the ABYC standard. Always install the Inverter/Charger
using the ABYC standard as the primary reference.
Safe AC and DC Ground Connection
As detailed in the last section when the AC power source is being supplied by shore power (marina) the onboard neutral must
be connected to the safety ground on the dock. This feature is automatically taken care of by the Inverter/Charger. When the
AC power source is being supplied by the Inverter (battery bank) the onboard neutral must be connected to the common boat
ground. The DC ground terminal must also be connected to the common boat ground. This ensures that both the AC and DC
ground are connected to one common boat ground.
