Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product but must be supplied by operator. Guard against electric shock. Do not open the Plastic case, risk of electric shock.

INSTALLATION

Ensure there is enough space for the installation, The mounting location should meet the following requirements:

1. Keep away from moisture or any location that may be exposed to moisture.
2. The ambient temperature should be 32-104°F, and the preferred temperature is 50-77°F. The lower the better in this range of ambient temperature.
3. Do not mount the inverter upside down. Vertical mounting on a wall is recommended.
4. We recommend mounting the inverter on something stable to prevent it from bouncing. Impact shock could result in damage to your unit. Be sure to use mounting screws for optimal stability. Mount in a location that can support the weight of the inverter.
5. Allow 12 inches of space around the inverter to prevent objects from blocking the vents and to provide enough air to circulate.
6. Do not install the inverter in an environment with high dust, saw dust residue or other particles that may get sucked into the inverter increasing internal temperature.

DC BATTERY SUPPLY

1. The battery is designed to supply the inverter with DC input voltage and the rated voltage should be in accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage exceeding the range of the input voltage of the inverter will cause the inverter to go into overload and could possibly damage the inverter. The battery should supply enough current for the load. The load is the amp or watt rating of the equipment being powered by the inverter. A small capacity battery cannot provide enough power for large electrical equipment. In this case, the battery will cause the inverter to go into under voltage protection because of the load put on the battery. A simple way to calculate the load or amps required from your battery is to divide watts of equipment by battery voltage. Due to the consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about 10% more. For example, the voltage of lead acid battery is 12VDC, and load of the equipment is 125W, therefore, the actual current needed from the battery is about 125W / 12V = 10.4 amps per hour Add 10% for efficiency loss and you get 10.4 1.10% = 11.45 amp per hour needed. If you don’t know the wattage of your equipment, you can figure the wattage by multiplying AC amps by AC voltage. For example, a laptop with 1.2-amp AC 120 Volts AC = 144 watts. Remember, some equipment has a start-up requirement 3-5x its running wattage. In this example, 144 watts *3 = 432 watts needed from the inverter so 150 watts would be too small.
2. Battery operating time depends on battery capacity and load. The formula for operating time is battery capacity divided by the value of the load divided by battery voltage times 1.10%. For example, using the numbers from above, the battery specification is 12V, 200Ah capacity and the load is 144W. Take battery capacity 200Ah/1.1 amps = 151 hours of run time if you fully deplete the battery. This is NOT recommended. Deep cycle batteries last longer when they are only depleted to 50% of capacity.

BATTERY CONNECTION

1. Grounding
   • The power inverter has a ground wire on the rear panel marked “Ground “or” “.. This is used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to ground. The ground terminal has already been connected to the ground wire of the AC output receptacle through the inverter. The ground wire must be connected to the battery ground wire, which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the ground wire to the chassis of the vehicle.
2. Battery terminals
   • Before you connect the battery cables, make sure the inverter power switch is in the off position. Connect (+) battery cable to (+) inverter terminal. Connect (-) battery cable to (-) inverter terminal. Connect (+) battery cable to (+) battery terminal. Connect (-) battery cable to Black (-) battery terminal. Do not reverse the polarity. This may damage the inverter and void warranty.

USING THE POWER ON THE INVERTER

1. Check the output voltage and capacity of the battery. The battery (s) should match the voltage of the inverter and have enough capacity for the load.
2. Connect your inverter to your battery and do not to reverse the polarities of the connection.
3. Slide the power switch button on your inverter and a green LED will light up indicating that the inverter is on.
4. Before plugging anything into your inverter, make sure the appliance you trying to power is shut OFF, then plug it into the AC outlet of your inverter and power on your appliance. If using an inductive load, see Soft Start section.
5. Once finished using the inverter, turn off your electrical appliance and the inverter. The indicator lights should be off.
6. The cooling fan inside the inverter will come during start up and will turn on automatically according to the power usage.
7. The USB ports on this unit can provide a stable line of 5V DC current. The maximum current is 3100 mA. Be sure to double check your device to make sure it doesn’t exceed these requirements.

SOFT STARTUP

The soft start built into this inverter protects the unit from delivering too much AC power at once by gradually increasing the AC voltage pushed out. Pure sine wave output

The electrical waveform output of this inverter is a pure sine wave, which has the same quality as utility and/or domestic power This type of waveform is suitable for most electrical devices, appliances, and tools. This pure sine wave unit provides more capabilities than modified sine wave inverters because it is a cleaner form of power. The pure sine wave also effectively reduces the noise produced while using appliances.
