Title: Wiring order for Magnum 2812 installation
Post by: Peter on May 15, 2021, 10:18:44 am
Can anyone advise the correct wiring order for installing a magnum 2812 in the coach?
I currently  have the old unit out,

My neg connection on my start batteries are disconnected
My neg and pos connectins on the house batteries are disconnected at the battery.
The pos from the house battery is still connected at the fuse.
The neg from the house batteries is still connect at a shunt .
The sales switch on the coach is off.

Do I make all the connections at the magnum first.?

I want to do this correctlyas I do not wasnt to damage the magnum when connecting and do not want to injuty myself.
Thanks

When I put my 2812 inverter in all I did is disconnect the negative post on the house batteries so I think you have it covered.

So I am going to assume that I attach all the wires on the magnum DC AND AC and remote, then reattach the house batteries (pos first and then neg??) and I am good to go..
I too have the instructions but they really do not list any particular order in which to re attach wires.
