When connecting battery terminals, ensure the polarity of the battery connections is correct. Incorrect polarity may cause permanent damage to the unit.
ALWAYS make sure inverter is in OFF position and disconnect all AC and DC connecting when working on any circuit associated with the inverter.
Be careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors as they may retain high lethal voltages even after power is removed.

Installation Safety

1. Placement Requirements
Make sure there is enough space and that the installation is done according to the guidelines
WARNING
NEVER install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
NEVER mount the inverter vertically on a vertical surface since it would present a hazard for the fan opening which will affect your inverter’s life and even causing other dangers.
NEVER mount the inverter upside down.
VOLFVERT Inverter should be placed in a horizontal position.
Well-ventilated area — Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around the inverter to keep objects from blocking the vents and to provide adequate air circulation.
Dry — No liquids are allowed near the inverter. It should be in a place where there is no moisture of any kind.
Cool — Inverters must be in an area where the fans are not blocked.Do not put the inverter under direct sun light or near a heating source.The ambient temperature should be controlled from 32 to 104°F (preferred temperature of 50- 77°F).
Less dust area — 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.
Close proximity to battery bank — prevent excessive voltage drop by keeping the unit close to the battery bank and having a properly sized wire going from the battery bank to the inverter.
Protection against fire hazard — There will be some electrical arcing or spark when the inverter connects with the battery.The unit should be away from any flammable material, liquids,gas or any other combustible material.Otherwise it may cause severe consequences.
Separate compartment from battery — Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as the battery bank because it could serve as a potential fire hazard.
CAUTION
Cockroaches or other insects may cause damage to the machine, so please take care to keep the machine and the surrounding environment hygienic.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend mounting the inverter on something stable such as floor, table or stable support to prevent it from bouncing. Mount in a location that can support the weight of the inverters. It is better to fix the product with four screws.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR CHILDREN

NEVER allow children to use the inverter
NEVER install the unit where it is accessible to children.Keep the unit away from children.
Accessories may cause harm to children, please place all accessories in places that are not easily accessible to children.

2. DC Side Connection Requirements
WARNING
The VOLFVERT pure sine wave inverters are suitable for 12V battery bank systems only. not following the minimum DC requirement will cause irreversible damage to the unit.
CAUTION
Be careful of the positive and negative poles. Reversing the poles might cause permanent damage to the inverter. It will surely blow the internal fuse.
NOTE
The input terminals of the inverters have large capacitors connected to them. Once a positive and negative wire are connected to the terminals, it will complete the circuit, and commence drawing a heavy current momentarily. As a result, there may be a sparking occurring even if the inverter is in the off position. To minimize sparking, it is recommended that the user have the appropriate size wire feeding into the inverters and/or install an external fuse leading into the inverter.

SECURE CONNECTION OF THE INVERTER
a. NEGATIVE: Connect one side of the provided Negative(BLACK) DC cable to the Negative(-) bolt of the inverter,and the other side to the Negative(-)post of the battery.
b. POSITIVE: Connect one side of the provided Positive(RED) DC cable to the Positive(+)bolt of the inverter, and the other side to the Positive(+)post of the battery.
c. The nuts of the connection posts must be tightened to ensure a good connection.
d. SWITCH BUTTON: Please note that the switch has 3 gears. From top to bottom are on, off, and remote.
e. The inverter will shutdown automatically if connection reversed.lrreversible damage to the machine cannot be excluded which will affect your warranty.

3. Battery Bank Requirements
The battery is for supplying DC input voltage to the inverter. Its rated voltage should be the same as the rated input voltage of the VOLFVERT inverter. Any voltage that exceeds the iInput voltage range of the inverter will cause the inverter to be overloaded and may damage the inverter.
The battery ought to supply enough current for the load. (The load is the amperage or wattage rating of the equipment being powered by the inverter.) A small capacity battery cannot supply enough power for large electrical equipment and it will cause the inverter to be under-voltage.

SIMPLE METHOD
For determining the required battery capacity size is shown below for reference:

1. Determine the Watts (Amps * Volts) of the load (Each appliance has technical specifications indicating the wattage or voltage and amperage required for operation.)
2. Utilize the formula Amps=Watts/ Volts
3. Inverter consumption=Amps*10% (Due to inverter efficiency 90%,the recommended estimate for the calculation is 10%)
4. Estimated load runtime (The capacity of the battery depends on the load wattage and runtime. Most loads are not constant, so estimation is essential.)
5. Determine Ah(Ampere-Hour) of the battery

Example: Using 12VDC battery to run a 1200Watts electric kettle for 2 hours needs at least 220Ah battery. (10%Inverter consumption) The calculations are as follows:

Conclusion: At least a 220 Ah battery must be selected in order to use the 1200 watts hotplate at 2 hours a day. However, determining the capacity of the battery is also dependent on the battery that is able to handle repeated discharge/charge cycles.
This is just an example. Actual quantities vary by battery capacity and rates.
Running wattage may fluctuate.To power the electric kettle in the example, must use an inverter of at least 1500 watts.

4. Grounding Requirements
The VOLFVERT Pure Sine Wave inverters come equipped with a ground terminal to appropriately ground to earth or to another designated ground. (for example, a metal frame of an RV).
The connections to ground must be tight and against bare metal. Whether using the inverter in a mobile application, such as an RV, or in a building, grounding is highly recommended.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommended wire size for grounding is 14AWG or larger insulated copper strand wire. For more information regarding grounding, users and/or installers must consult with the Local and National Electric Codes (NEC) for more specific grounding regulations and suggestions as they can change per scenario.

Operation Safety
Assuming proper battery connection, the inverter is now ready for use.
1. AC Side Operation
a. Connect electronic devices to electrical socket(s) on inverter. Flip inverter power to ON position (on AC side)
b. When finished, switch AC devices off FIRST, then turn off inverter switch
CAUTION
Make sure that the switches of the inverter and appliance power are in OFF position before connection.
When switching off the Inverter, turn off the electronic devices first. Although the Inverter Is off, the capacitors will still have a charge, so the DC and AC terminals must be disconnected If altering the circuitry.
c. Connection of heavy duty
For the appliances with a load more than the limit of AC outlet ,please connect to the Hard Terminals Blocks, make sure the ground terminal of inverter connected with ground terminal of appliance.
