How This Inverter Works

This inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to 120 volts AC (alternating current) household power. It converts power in two stages. The first stage is
a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is a MOSFET bridge stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC.

Power Inverter Output Waveform

The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for
most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.

Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment

Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated
is below 1000 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive
loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.

Power Source Requirements

Your inverter will operate from input voltages between 11 and 15 volts DC. If the input voltage drops below 10 volts DC, the inverter will shut down. This feature protects the battery from being completely discharged.
The inverter will also shut down if the input voltage exceeds 15.6 volts. This protects the inverter against excessive input voltage. Although the inverter has built-in protection against over voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 15 volts.
Your inverter is engineered to have standard electrical and electronic equipment directly connected to it in the manner described in the “Installation” section of this Instruction Manual. Do not connect the inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) power source.
Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to operate than resistive loads of the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some TVs, may require two to six times their rated wattage to start up. Because these inverters have a peak watt power rating, many such appliances and tools may be safely operated. The equipment that needs the highest starting wattage are pumps and compressors that start under load. This equipment can be safely tested. If an overload is detected, the inverter will simply shut down until the overload situation is corrected. Use the power button to turn off the inverter, then on again to reset it.

CAUTIONS

• Exceeding recommended voltage limits will void manufacturer’s warranty.
• The Power Inverter must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
• Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.

Protective Features

The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Input Voltage Too Low: This condition is not harmful to the inverter, but could damage the power source, so the inverter will automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10.5 ± 0.5 volts DC.

Input Voltage Too High:

The inverter will automatically shut down when DC input voltage exceeds 16 ± 0.5 volts, as this can harm the unit.

Thermal Shutdown Protection:

The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.

Overload/Short Circuit Protection:

The inverter will automatically shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.
Refer to “Power and Fault Indicators on the LCD Display” for an explanation of the icons that indicate a fault condition before shutdown.
To restart the unit, simply unplug all devices plugged into the inverter; disconnect the inverter from any 12 volt DC power source; then reconnect the inverter BEFORE plugging the appliance(s) back in.
