When installed, it looks like there is a gap between inverter body and mounting surface. Is this true and if so, how much of a gap?

There is a 5/8" clearance between mounting surface and bottom of inverter. Based on other user responses there may be 1/4" variances between units. There is a 2" x 3 1/2" ventilation grill underneath, towards the front of the unit.

There is a 3/4 inch space between the mounting surface and the inverter, presumably for cooling purposes. Hope this helps.

Just measured it, and it's about 20mm. The gap is for proper air flow so you don't have any over heating. The total height of the unit measured from the mounting surface is about 70mm.

I don't believe the installation instruction specify a figure but more space is better for cooling air flow. More space may allow for less usage of the cooling fan.

I cannot speak to the inverter issue but if outputs 60hz 1120v current it should work fine. The power setting are extremely consistent if set on temperature they are within two to three degrees of the indicated temperature almost always on the high side(i.e. if set at 80 degrees F the actual temp with my unit will be 82 degrees. Overall it seems to be of high quality.

Same answer as others. My electrcian installed. It did not seem to be a problem 4 him though

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

I'm sorry, but its been a long time since I installed mine. If you could email pictures or diagrams of what your talking about, maybe I could help you.

Your best option would be to measure your intended install space and compare it to the size of this box. Make sure to take into account space required for wiring.

I agree with T. Thomas, sounds like reversed polarity - it's easy to do as the documentation is not very clear on the wiring.

I am not sure but I would not buy this inverter or any other inverter the make. I bought this item, it lasted less than two months. The cost of returning the unit was more than it was worth. The quality is junk. I had someone look at it and the soldered connections look like a 2 year old assembled this unit. The screws that were used to assemble it were half stripped and loose. Complete piece of JUNK!

You need to put 4 gauge stranded DC Cable (available on Amazon) into a snug 3/8" I.D. water type copper tube and then use a chisel to dent the tube around the cable. Thereafter, use the appropriate size Allen wrench and hand tighten hard the terminated DC cable in the Tripplite inverter. I have no problem with the entire assembly.

Our control knob is not crooked and quite secure. The gap is approx 1/4 inch.I suggest you return it.

I used a 1/4-20 (1/4" dia., 20 thread per inch) tap to thread the existing bolt holes in the studs to prevent losing all those nuts and washers. I believe my cables are 4AWG with 5/16" connectors. One thought I had the other day is, I wonder how well a set of jumper cables would work at connecting between the inverter and battery?

I'm in a Motorhome using an inverter, now mine is a pure sine wave model so it's clean AC and have had no issues. If your Inver doesn't produce a clean AC you might damage the control

Mine were gapped from the factory perfectly. I still recommend you check them before installing. Results may vary lol

That is a mechanical question that I am unable to address. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer direct, or your installer. dv

Should be okay. Needs to be mounted, have a circuit breaker between it and the inverter and have plenty of space around it to cool.

Check your installation. There is no gap on my fan. Any chance you used an after market rod? I purchased a longer rod from Minka and had no problems. Love the fan----quiet and powerful.

It doesn't stick out much - but I would advise checking with EVGA manufacturer for exact specs. That or just order it and return if it doesn't work.
