PARTS LIST

ASSEMBLE

1. The position of Mounting
   First ensure that there is enough space to install the nverter, while the nstallation location must meet the following requirements:
   (1) Drying: Do not use water or other liquids dripping on the nverter
   (2) Cool: a working environment temperature of the product is 0-40°C, preferably a temperature of 10-25 °C, at a temperature as low as possible within this range
   (3) Ventilation: There should be a certain distance between inverter and other objects, to avoid blocking the products vents.
   (4) Clean: Do nstall the products in the dusty, wood chips or other particles , If cooling fan is turned on, the particles involved in the inside of the product, thus affecting the normal work.
   (5) It is normal while connecting, inverter and battery, will produce arcs or sparks, so keep it away from flammable objects such as gasoline, alcohol , etc.

2. Install the inverter
   For this big power inverter, because the heavier weight, preferably mounted on a solid platform, such as floor, table or mounting bracket fine. In order to avoid falling off, platform for supporting the product should can bear the weight of sufficient capacity, and fasten the inverter with four screws.

3. Install the remote control box

1. The remote is designed to be mounted on a dash or other surface where a hole should be cut so that it sits flush. This is not a requirement however just a recommendation.
2. The remote cable should be plugged into inverter and the remote before mounted.
   Note: Optional remote is not needed for inverter operation, The main power switch will work the power on / off,

4. BATTERY

1. Voltage and current of the battery
   The battery is designed to supply the unit with DC input voltage and the rated voltage should be in accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage exceeds the range of the input voltage of the inverter will cause over voltage or under voltage protection.

In the meantime, the battery should supply sufficient current. The small capacity battery cannot drive the large power electrical appliance. In this case, the battery will be in under voltage protection because of the over- discharge. The simple calculation method of battery current is: load power divided by battery voltage. Due to the consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about 10% larger. For example, the voltage of lead acid battery is 12VDC, and load power is 1000W, therefore, the actual current of the battery is about 1000W+12Vx 110%491.6A.
Battery operating time Battery operating time depends on battery capacity and current, and the calculation formula of operating time is: battery capacity divided by current, that is, battery capacity divided by the value of the load power divided by battery voltage times 110%. For example, battery specification is 12V, 2000Ah, load power is 1000W, so the total discharging time is 2000Ah+ (1000+12×110%) -21.8 hours

Note:

1. The battery specifications provided in the above table are for reference only. The selection and use of the battery should also refer to the battery instructions, especially for Lithium battery and LifePO4 batteries, such as: whether the maximum discharge current of the battery meets the working current of the product; Whether the low-voltage protection of the battery is within the working range of the product, etc. Furthermore, whether the battery is fully charged or false capacity labeled which will lead to insufficient working hours of the product. According to the life span of the battery, the battery capacity will dedine after long term of use, which will also affect the working hours of the product.
2. GIANDEL recommends using “Deep Cycle’ or Marine rated batteries.
3.  Generally, do not connect batteries in parallel more than FOUR pieces.

WARNING:

1. Do not connect different brand or different capacity, specification of batteries in series or parallel, it is unsafe and may damage the batteries or inverter.
2.  Inverters are not recommended to be used when the battery is being charged, including solar charging; When the inverter is used under the condition of charging battery, the voltage fluctuation at both ends of the battery s relatively large, and the ripple voltage and current will cause the following adverse factors.
   The battery cannot be fully charged when the inverter is working, and the charging voltage ripple will affect battery life.
   While charging battery, the ripple voltage and current are large, and the input voltage and current are unstable, which will affect the working efficiency of the inverter and easily damage the product. The charging device that charges the battery may cause high charging voltage, which will trigger the inverter input High Voltage protection fault and affect the work of the product. If it happens, the charging device must be disconnected.

CONNECTION

1. Grounding
   The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked  This s used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to the ground. The ground terminal has already connected to the ground wire of AC output receptacle through the nternal connecting wire.
   The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed.

ABOUT SOFT START TECHNOLOGY
This inverter has advanced soft start function. The output voltage rises up from low to normal when the inverter is turned on.
This can reduce high startup currents, which can make startup easier for large nductive loads.
THE OUTPUT WAVE FORM
The output wave form of this inverter s Pure Sine Wave, which s much like the one from utility-supplied AC electricity, even more purer; pure sine wave is applicable in most of loads, including electrical equipments, such as Linear Adaptor, switching power supply, transformer, and motor and so on.
Comparing with Modified wave form, for inductive loads such as refrigerator and electric fans, pure sine wave form can improve its power factor and the battery’s efficiency and reduce working noises effectively from appliances. For capacitive loads such as adapter of lap-top, pure sine wave can lower the rush current at work and reduce nterferences to increase reliability and prolong the life of the product.

LED DISPLAY
When the inverter is in work condition, the input voltage and output power will be shown on the digital display screen by turns. Likewise, when the inverter goes into protection, corresponding letters will be also shown on the screen.
Different letters mean the nverter is in different protection conditions. When the product is working, the LED display will alternately display the nput voltage and the output the current state of protections:

1. lnput(V) LED is on, digital display is the value of the nput voltage
2.  Output(KW) LED is on, digital display is the value of the output power
3.  Output(W) LED is on, digital display is the value of output power
4.  Display LO, indicates the current status of under voltage protection
5.  Display shows HI, indicates the current status of over voltage protection
6.  Display shows OL, indicates the current status of output overload or short­ circuit protection
7.  Display shows OH, indicates the current status of overheat protection

PROTECTION FEATURES

1. Input under-voltage alarm: When the input DC voltage is lower than 9.8V(19.6V), the buzzer will whistle intermittently to remind that the nverter will go into the under voltage protection. Pay attention to save the data if you are using computer.
2. Under voltage protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the input DC voltage is lower than 9.5V(19V).The buzzer will whistle continuously and the green light is off, red light is on. Please turn off the inverter and use t after recharging the battery.
3.  Over voltage protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the input DC voltage is higher than 16V(32V).The buzzer will whistle continuously and the green light is off, red light is on. Please turn off the inverter and adjust the input voltage to the admissible range.
4. Overload protection: The nverter will automatically shut down when the load is higher than the rated power. The buzzer will whistle continuously. Turn off the inverter and resume to normal operation after taking away the excessive load.
5.  Short-circuit protection: The AC output will be automatically shut down when short circuited. It will automatically reset after the problem is solved.
6. Thermal protection: The unit will get bot during operation. If the temperature is higher than 149°F, the inverter will automatically shut down. Then the buzzer will whistle continuously and the green light is off, red light is on. Please turn off the inverter, and continue using it after the temperature goes back to normal naturally. Meanwhile find out the factors causing the fault, such as ventilation, ambient temperature, vent, load power and so on. It can avoid similar things from happening again.

 TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

•Recharge the battery
•Battery may be too small. Please refer to instruction for recommended battery sizes.
•Check the cable connections and ensure the cable sizes are sufficient. Use provided cables if included. The shorter and thicker cables the better.
•One or some of the batteries in the battery group
may be defective, remove the defective battery
•The inline fuse (if has) may be too small.
High input DC voltage. The input battery voltage is above 16V(12V version) or 32V (24V version)| •Check the battery charger is not connected to the battery.
•Do not use it when the battery is charging Disconnect the solar panel while the battery is fully charged.
•Confirm whether the input battery is correct.
Overload| Reduce the load power or choose a bigger inverter.
Over temperature| •Turn off the load and let it cool naturally for 10 to 30 minutes. Restart it after it resumes to normal temperature . Reduce the load .
•Avoid blocking the vent and improve the ventilation condition.
PROBLEM| REASON| SOLUTIONS
---|---|---
No AC output voltage?| 1.The power switch is off.
2.Poor contact with battery .
3.Inline fuse(if has) may be burnt.| •Press the power switch for 1-2 second to turn it on, it is a long press type switch.
•Check the cables and make sure they are tightly connected .
•Check the inline fuse is fine or remove circuit breaker to test the inverter again.
•One or some of the batteries in the battery group may be defective, remove the defective battery.
Output voltage below 100Vac (110-120V inverter) or 200 Vac (220-240V inverter) ?| A True RMS multi meter is
required to properly measure output voltage of modified wave inverter| •Test output voltage with a True RMS meter
•Try to maintain the input voltage in the range of rated power.
•Change the battery of the meter then test again.
Cannot drive the load even less power than the size of inverter?| 1.Power of load is too large, or the actual power of the appliance exceeds the max power of inverter.
2.The starting power is larger than rated power (especially for appliances with motor, this kind of inductive loads require a large rush of power to start. Even a 80W fridge may need a 1000 watt inverter) .
3.Battery is too small.| •Reduce the load power, or turn on the appliance first, then turn on the inverter.
•Choose a bigger inverter.
•Change a bigger battery and ensure fully charged.
•The inline fuse(if has) may be small.
•Choose the shorter and thicker cables.
Tester indicated “Open Ground”| This is because it is not connected to a “true Earth ground”, meaning it is not connected to a metal rod stuck in the Earth. It would be impossible to do so in a boat or car while moving . The power inverter DOES NOT and cannot create a true Earth ground on its own .| •Don’t need the tester to do the Grounding Test.
•Refer to the manual to do the Grounding
•Choose an inverter with GFCI sockets
Starting alarm ?| The main reason is that the instantaneous current is too large, which leads to the detection of low voltage and triggles under-voltage alarm.| •Please restart the inverter several times.
Got 40V or so while testing inverters ground wire and zero line ?| This voltage has no meaning, zero line can be ground .| •This is normal , there is no current leakage.
Cooling Fan noisy| Object may be stuck in fan| Inspect fan area at rear of unit to ensure no object is obstructing fan movement
