Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this inverter. This simple inverter is designed to power your home appliances or precious 3C electronics. It also can handle motor-type loads with high surge power such as vacuums, small freezers, or drills.
This manual is for qualified personnel. The tasks described in this manual may be performed by qualified personnel only.

Important Safety Warning (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, this manual and the batteries.
Conventions used:
WARNING! Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury;
CAUTION! Caution identify conditions or practices that could result in damaged to the unit or other equipment connected.
General Precaution-
CAUTION! The unit is designed for indoor use. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified batteries from qualified distributors or manufacturers.
Any unqualified batteries may cause damage and injury. Do NOT use old or overdue batteries. Please check the battery type and date code before installation to avoid damage and injury.
CAUTION! Authorized service personnel should reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting AC, DC and battery power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors can remain charged for 5 minutes after disconnecting all sources of power.
CAUTION! Do not disassemble this inverter yourself. It contains no user- serviceable parts. Attempt to service this inverter yourself may cause a risk of electrical shock or fire and will void the warranty from the Manufacturer.
CAUTION! To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that the wire is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the cooling fan.
CAUTION! Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the inverter is damaged, called for an RMA (Return Material Authorization).
WARNING: There are no user-replaceable parts inside of the inverter. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself.
WARNING! It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate external battery cable. To reduce risk of injury, external battery cables should be UL certified and rated for 105°C or higher. And do not use copper cables less than 6AWG or 10AWG*2.
CAUTION! Do not disassemble the inverter. Contact with the qualified service center when service or repair is required.
WARNING! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment. The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.
CAUTION! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing or working with the inverter, the batteries, or other equipment attached to this unit.
CAUTION! For battery installation and maintenance, read the battery manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.
Personnel Precaution –
CAUTION! Careful to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the batteries. It could spark or short circuit the batteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTION! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to make metal melt, and could cause severe burns.
CAUTION! Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
CAUTION! Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
CAUTION! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
CAUTION! If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent accident during servicing.

Trouble Shooting

Use the table below to solve minor problems.

Problem| LCD/LED/Buzzer| Explanation / Possible cause| What to do
---|---|---|---
When power fails, the backup time is shorten.| Battery low alarm issue quickly.| Battery voltage is too low.| Charge the unit at least 8 hours.
Battery capacity is not full even after charge the unit for at least 8 hours.| Check the date code of the battery. If the batteries are too old, replace the batteries.
Mains exist but the unit works in battery mode.| Input voltage is displayed as 0 on the LCD and green LED is flashing.| Input protector is tripped| Check if AC breaker is tripped and AC wiring is connected well.
Green LED is flashing.| Insufficient quality of AC power. (Shore or Generator)| 1. Check if AC wires are too thin and/or too long.
2. Check if generator (if applied) is working well or if input voltage range setting is correct. (NarrowàWide)
No LED display on the front panel when the utility power is normal.| No LED display.| Battery is not connected well.| Check the external battery cable and terminal. Make sure all the battery connections to the unit are all correct.
Battery defect.| Replace the batteries.
Buzzer beeps continuously and red LED is on.| Fault code 00| Output short circuited.| Check if wiring is connected well and remove abnormal load.
Fault code 01| Overload error. The inverter is overload 110% and time is up.| Reduce the connected load by switching off some equipment.
Fault code 03| Output voltage too high| Return to repair center.
Fault code 05| Fan fault| Replace the fan.
Fault code 06| Internal temperature of inverter component is over 100°C.| Check whether the air flow of the unit is blocked or whether the ambient temperature is too high.
Fault code 08| Battery is over-charged.| Return to repair center.
