1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.4 How an Inverter/Charger Works
An inverter essentially transforms direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). It also takes
alternating current and transforms it back into direct current.
Inverter Mode:
Direct current (DC) is taken from the batteries and transformed to alternating current (AC) for use with
household appliances (figure 2).
Charge Mode:
Alternating current (AC) is taken from the utility (shore power) and passed directly to the connected load
(household appliances). A portion of the AC is transformed back to DC and used to recharge the
batteries (figure 3).
1.5 What an Inverter Can Power
The Voyager Series inverter/charger can power a wide range of loads such as household appliances,
small motors and other electrical devices. Actual run time depends on several variables including the size
and the type of load. Battery type, capacity, and age; the battery’s state of charge; and temperature also
affect run times.
Size of the Load (Watts or Volt Amps)
Electrical appliances are rated by the amount of power they consume (table 1). The rating is
printed on the product’s nameplate label, usually located on its chassis near the AC power cord.
Type of Load (Resistive or Inductive)
Toasters, coffee pots and incandescent lights are typical resistive loads. They are the simplest and
most efficient for an inverter to power. Large resistive loads, such as electric stoves and water heaters,
are impractical to use with an inverter since the high current demands would quickly drain the batteries.
TVs, VCRs, stereos, computers, etc., contain transformers and are considered inductive. These loads
require more current than a resistive load of the same wattage rating because of the transformer’s start-
up characteristics. Electric motors are also inductive; however, depending upon the size of the motor, it can
require 2 to 6 times its running current to start, momentarily exceeding the inverter’s maximum output
rating. Only testing a specific load will determine if it can be started and how long it will run.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the inverter from its shipping container and inspect all contents listed on the packaging
checklist. If items appear to be damaged or missing, contact Trace Engineering’s Customer Service department
at (360) 435-8826. It is recommended that you retain the shipping container in the event the unit ever needs to
be returned for factory service.
2.2 Pre-Installation
Before installing the inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings located in this manual. On
U.S vessels, installations must conform to the requirements of 33 CFR 183.410.
NOTE: The inverter is quite heavy. Always use proper lifting techniques during installation to prevent
personal injury.
2.2.1Locating the Inverter
The inverter must be mounted in a clean, dry, ventilated environment where the ambient temperature will
not exceed 122 ºF (50 ºC). The location must be fully accessible and protected from exposure to dry engine
exhaust and other heat producing devices. The inverter can be mounted either horizontally or vertically and
must be securely fastened to bulkheads or other vessel structural parts.
The base of the inverter must be at least two feet above normal bilge water or protected so that it is not
subject to bilge splash. Additional protection, such as a drip shield, must be installed to protect the inverter
from falling objects or drippage.
Allow adequate clearance to remove the inverter’s cover (Series I) and to access the front panel and
controls (Series I and II).
The inverter should be located as close as possible to the batteries in order to keep the battery cables
short; however, it should not be mounted directly above them. Due to the corrosive nature of batteries,
especially with electronics, make sure the area is adequately ventilated to the outside.
CAUTION: Do not mount the inverter in the engine room or near the fuel tanks of gasoline-fueled vessels.
2.2.2Locating the Batteries
Like the inverter, the batteries must be mounted in a clean, dry, ventilated environment where they are
protected from high and low ambient temperatures. The location must be fully accessible and protected
from exposure to dry engine exhaust and other heat producing devices. The batteries must be mounted
upright (liquid batteries only) and securely fastened to the mounting surface.
The base of the batteries must be at least two feet above normal bilge water and protected so that they
will not subject to bilge splash. For optimum performance, a ventilated battery enclosure is recommended.
The batteries should be located as close as possible to the inverter in order to keep the battery cables
short; however, they should not be mounted directly under the inverter. Due to the corrosive nature of
batteries, especially with electronics, make sure the area is adequately ventilated to the outside.
CAUTION: Do not mount the batteries in the engine room or near the fuel tanks of gasoline-fueled vessels.

2.2.3Battery Selection
Proper battery selection is critical to the optimum performance of an inverter system. Batteries come in
variety of sizes, types (starting, deep cycle), capacities (amp-hours), voltages (6 VDC, 12 VDC), chemistries
(NiFe, NiCAD, Lead Acid), and construction (sealed or vented), each designed for a specific application.
The 3 types of batteries recommended for use with Voyager Series inverters are: Liquid Lead Acid (LEAD),
Sealed Gell Cells (GEL) and Sealed Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM).
NOTE: DO NOT use automotive (starting) batteries - they are designed to provide high starting current for
short periods of time; whereas, batteries used in inverter applications must provide low, constant current for
long periods of time (deep cycled).
2.2.3.1 Liquid Lead Acid Batteries (LEAD)
Liquid Lead Acid batteries are designed to be deep cycled before being recharged, making them suitable for
inverter applications. These batteries require periodic maintenance consisting mainly of adding distilled water to
the cells, checking battery cable connectors for tightness and keeping the terminals clean.
RV and Marine (“Group 24” or “Group 27”)
“OK” for small systems
Designed for limited cycling
Do not last as long as the other “true” deep cycle batteries
Typically rated at 12 volts DC (80 to 100 amp-hours)
Golf Cart (“T-105,” “CG220,” or “L16”)
“Better” for small systems
Designed for repeated discharge (up to 80%) without damage
Rugged, long lasting
Typically rated at 6 volts DC (220 to 350 amp-hours)
2.2.3.2 Sealed Batteries (GEL and AGM)
Both GEL and AGM batteries are virtually maintenance free, making them ideal for inverter applications.
Since the batteries are completely sealed, they can be mounted in almost any position. The only disadvantages, compared to flooded batteries, are a higher initial cost and greater susceptibility to overcharging.
Gel Cell
Gelled electrolyte instead of liquid
Long life (up to 1500 cycles, typical)
Low self-discharge
Virtually maintenance-free
Absorbed Glass Mat
“Best” for inverter-type applications
Electrolyte is contained in glass-fiber mats between battery plates
Good low temperature performance
Virtually maintenance-free
Socket wrench and fittings Utility knife Torque wrench
2.2.5Hardware / Materials Required
1/4" mounting bolts and lock washers
3/16” screws (with washers, lock washers, nuts)
Flexible (vibration absorbent) washers
Conduit, strain-reliefs and appropriate fittings
Wire ties
2.2.6Wiring
All wiring and installation methods must conform to applicable electrical and marine codes. AC wiring
must be no less than #10 AWG copper wire and rated for 75 °C or higher. Battery cables must be rated for 75
°C or higher and should be no less than the minimum size wire recommended by this manual. Wiring must be
installed in a manner that will avoid magnetic loops in the area of the compass and magnetically sensitive
devices.
Pre-plan the wire and conduit runs. For maximum safety, run both AC and DC wires/cables in (separate)
conduit. Direct current wiring, due to its potential to generate RFI, must be tied together with electrical tape.
NOTE: Run DC cabling in twisted pairs, keeping the runs as short as practical.
2.2.6.1 AC Connections
External connections to this unit must comply with United States Coast Guard electrical regulations
(33 CFR 183, Sub part I). Use #10 AWG (or larger) THHN wire for all AC wiring. The inverter’s AC terminal
blocks accept up to #6 AWG wire.
2.2.6.2 DC Connections
Battery to inverter cabling should be only as long as required. If #2/0 AWG cables are used for example, do
not exceed 5 feet (one way) in 12 VDC systems. For optimum performance, use pre-assembled battery cables
from Trace Engineering, designed specifically for this application.
Crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with a 5/16” hole should be used to connect the battery
cables to the inverter’s DC terminals.
2.2.6.3 AC Grounding
The inverter/charger includes neutral-to-ground switching for the AC electrical system.
WARNING: The shore power neutral must only be grounded through the shore power cable. Do not permanently
ground it on board the vessel.
8
2000 Trace Engineering
Voyager Series
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.2.6.4 DC Grounding
The inverter/charger should be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system. For most
installations, the negative battery conductor should be bonded to the vessel safety-grounding conductor
(green wire) at only one point in the system as per ABYC standard E-8.5 and E-9.20. The size for the
conductor is usually based on the size of the largest conductor in the DC system. DO NOT connect the battery
negative (-) cable to the vessel safety ground; connect it to the battery negative terminal of the inverter. NO NOT
connect equipment DC negatives to the safety ground, connect only to the negative bus of the DC load center.
2.2.7Torque Requirements
Torque all AC wiring connections to 16 inch pounds. Torque DC cable connections to 10-12 foot pounds.
2.2.8Main Service Panel
The input to the inverter requires a minimum 60 amp circuit breaker at the main service panel.
2.2.9Sub Panel
Loads powered by the inverter need to be rerouted from the main service panel to a sub panel. This can be
done several different ways, depending upon the installation. Always refer to electrical codes for safe wiring
practices.
2.2.10 Circuit Protection
Use only input circuits provided with the correct ampere branch circuit protection in accordance with the
National Electric Code, ANSI/ NFPA70. Always use a properly rated circuit breaker. Depending upon the
application, circuit breakers used to protect the load can be removed from the main service panel and put
into the sub-panel ONLY if the two panels are from the same manufacturer and are the same type of
service panel.
NOTE: Both AC and DC disconnects / overcurrent protection must be provided as part of the installation.
2.2.11 Wire Routing
Determine all wire routes both to and from the inverter. Current carrying conductors must be routed as
high as practical above the bilge water level and other area where water can accumulate. If conductors must
be routed in the bilge or other areas where water can accumulate, the connections must be watertight.
Conductors that may be exposed to physical damage must be protected by conduit, tape, raceways, or
other equivalent protection. Conductors passing through bulkheads or structural members must be protected to
minimize insulation damage such as chafing. Conductors must also be routed clear of sources of chafing such
as steering cable and linkages, engine shafts, and control surfaces.
Possible routing scenarios include:
AC Input wiring from the main service panel (or shore power source) to the inverter
AC Input wiring from the generator to the inverter
DC Input wiring from the batteries to the inverter
AC Output wiring from the inverter to the sub-panel
Battery Temperature Sensor cable from the inverter to the batteries
Remote Control cable to the inverter
Ground wiring from the inverter to an external ground
Check for existing electrical, plumbing or other potential areas of accidental damage prior to making cuts in
structural surfaces, bulkheads or decks.

Before installing the inverter and batteries, read all instructions and cautionary markings located at the
beginning of this manual and in the pre-installation section. On U.S vessels, installations must conform to the
requirements of 33 CFR 183.410.
2.3.1Inverter Mounting
Place the inverter in the designated mounting location either horizontally or vertically. Allow adequate
clearance to remove the inverter’s cover (Series I) and to access the front panel (Series I and II).
Also allow for air flow in to and around the inverter, especially near the cooling fan (approximately 3”).
Mark the mounting holes in the base of the inverter’s chassis. Drill out pilot holes in the mounting surface.
If the inverter is mounted in an area or potential exposure to spray or splashing, install the drip shield
above the inverter. The drip shield does not mount to the inverter’s chassis. This is required per UL for
bulkhead mounting.
CAUTION: DO NOT mount the inverter in the engine room or near the fuel tanks of gasoline-fueled vessels.
Remove the four cover screws (Voyager Series I only) and remove the cover. Loosen the front panel
conduit clamps to accept the AC Input and Output wiring and conduit.
