INTRODUCTION

GoWISE Power Pure Sine Wave Inverters address the trend of having the convenience of household power on RVs for refrigeration, microwave, toast oven, air fryer, coffee maker, entertainment systems, and more, with low THD <3%. GoWISE Power Inverters convert 12 VDC to 110 VAC household power, unique in design.

• This unit uses the latest in soft start technology. The output voltage gradually increases to the normal value from a low value after the inverter is turned on. It can reduce a transient large current attack and help to start the hard start load. Large power inductive loads, such as electrical motors or capacitive loads (large power SMPS), adopt a soft start.
• LCD display, AC power output, and DC input power gauges.
• LED indicators are used for power input type and service notification.
• During normal operation, the display and gauges are blue and green.
• Anytime there are adverse conditions the LCD display and gauges will turn red based on the condition and the LCD display will provide a full fault message versus traditional error codes that must be deciphered.
• This innovative design takes the stress and mystery out of using an inverter for RVs, and specialty vehicles.
• Designed with 2x surge capability for demanding loads, convenient GFCI protected outlets, and a USB charging port.

STANDARD FEATURES

• Intuitive dual color digital LCD message center
• Dual color gauges for AC power output and battery DC input
• 5V/ 2.1A USB power port and GFCI convenience outlets
• Compact and lightweight design
• Soft start noise filtered technology with 2x surge capability
• On/Off remote with 15-foot cable included
• Built-in safety with overload, over-temperature, short circuit, and reverse polarity protection. Audible alarm and shut down for low and high DC voltage, overload, and over-temperature conditions.

GoWISE Power Pure Sine Wave Inverters are protected by a variety of features including:
Reverse Polarity Protection
The fuses will burn out when the positive and negative cables are reversely connected to protect the inverter.
Low Battery Shutdown
When the inverter is in low voltage, an alarm will go off first and if the voltage continues to reduce, the LCD will turn red and the inverter will shut down. If the voltage rises to 12V +/- 0.5V, the inverter will automatically restart and the LCD will turn from blue to green.
Over Temperature Protection
The inverter will automatically protect itself when it reaches a high temperature. An alarm will go off first then the LCD will be red. The inverter will shut down and auto-restart.
Overload Protection
The inverter will automatcially protect itself when the load is too high. An alarm will go off first then the LCD will be red. The inverter will automatically shut down. The inverter will need to be restarted manually.
Over Voltage Protection
The inverter will automatically protect itself when it is in high voltage. The LCD will be red and the inverter will automatically shut down. When the voltage drops to 15.5V +/- 0.5V, the inverter will auto restart.
Output Short Circuit Protection
The inverter will automatically self-protect the unit by shutting down in the event of a short circuit. It will auto-restart after shutting down when the short circuit is removed.

GoWISE Power Pure Sine Wave Inverter Remote

1. The Inverter Includes a remote, mounting screws, and 15 Ft. cable.
2. The remote is designed to be mounted on a dash or other flat surface.
3. The remote cable should be plugged into the inverter and the remote before being mounted.

NOTE: The remote is optional and not required for inverter operation. There is an ON/OFF switch located on the inverter itself. When powering the inverter ON, a normal indicator will be a green LED light. If the inverter short circuits, the LED indicator will turn red.

INSTALLATION

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

WARNING

• This device is not ignition protected, risk of fire or explosion.

• This equipment contains components that could produce arcs or sparks.
  To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO NOT install this equipment in compartments containing batteries, flammable materials, or fumes, or in a location containing gasoline-powered machinery, or joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.

• DO NOT mount the inverter above or below your batteries.

• Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
  We recommend all wiring be done by qualified personnel. Disconnect all AC and DC power sources to prevent accidental shock. Disable and secure all AC and DC disconnect devices and automatic generator starting devices. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all the applicable installation codes and regulations

• Installation Precaution
  The power inverter should be mounted on a flat horizontal surface or a vertical surface. In no case should the front or rear end caps be facing in an upward or downward position? This allows proper ventilation and product safety of the unit as intended by design.

• Fire Hazard
  DO NOT cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. DO NOT install this equipment in a compartment with limited airflow. Overheating may result.

• Risk of fire or explosion.

• Low voltage – electrical burn and spark hazard.

• Disconnect battery power before servicing.

NOTE: This unit requires a large amperage draw from a DC battery when in inverter mode. Care must be taken during installation to provide properly sized cables from the battery to the inverter. Cable runs must be as short as possible and of the appropriate size and type. See the Installation section for more details.

Installation Recommendations and Requirements Include the Following:

The U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC)
RV Industry Association (RVIA)
The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)

INVERTER UNIT LOCATION

NOTE: Please re-read the PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS section of this manual (pg. 8-9) prior to installation. This unit must be located in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, free from unsecured hardware. Temperature is also a serious consideration. DO NOT mount this unit in an engine compartment or areas where temperatures will exceed 104°F (40°C).
In addition, the following should be considered when choosing a location:

1. Locate the inverter unit away from the battery in a separate, well-ventilated compartment.
2. Placement of the remote status panel – A length of communications cable is provided for the remote location of the status/on/off-panel. Ensure the cable is long enough to reach the desired location (generally in proximity to the main panelboard) and avoid any area where it can be damaged.
3. Ventilation – Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space at the DC end of the inverter for airflow, 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side, and 3 inches (7.5cm) at the AC end of the inverter. For cooling, the size of the space is not as important as the overall supply of air. The more clearance for ventilation around the unit, the better the performance. DO NOT allow the ventilation openings on the ends of the unit to become obstructed.
4. Cable Routing – Large DC cables and over-current protection (fuses/circuit breakers) will be located in proximity to this unit. Choose a location AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the DC battery bank serving the unit. This will provide optimum performance for the unit and keep cable sizes smaller. The location of the AC power is less critical than the DC supply.

MOUNTING – The weight of the inverter is very heavy. Be sure to place the inverter on a stable surface such as the floor, a table, or a stand. Make sure the areas you place the inverter on can withstand the weight of the inverter. In addition, be sure to affix the product with the provided screws to keep the inverter from falling or moving.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

STOP: BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR INVERTER, READ AND FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST BELOW:

• Begin with the power switch and main shore/station power breaker in the OFF position. Ensure that all overcurrent protection (e.g. fuses and/or circuit breakers) are ready for use, not blown or tripped.
• Use great care to ensure the polarity of the DC connections are correct or damage will result to your inverter.
• Verify all connections are tight, corrosion-free, and of good integrity.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE EARTH CONNECTION ATTACHED.
The earth conductor is permitted to be 1 common size smaller than the DC positive (+) conductor (Example: DC += 2 AWG, Earth = 4 AWG).
12 Volt DC Battery Source – Batteries can be a single battery or multiple batteries in parallel. Batteries connected in parallel boost amp-hours while maintaining voltage. Tapping each battery as shown balances the load of the battery.
Parallel batteries illustrated:

CAUTION!
DO NOT connect the following in parallel:

• Batteries made by different manufacturers
• Different types of batteries
• Batteries that have different Ah ratings

Decreased battery life and improper charging will result.

INSTALLATION MATERIALS – CABLING

Use great care to ensure the polarity of the DC connections are correct or damage will result to your inverter.

1. DC Cables – The DC portion of the power Inverter requires a large amount of amperage in Inverter mode. Cable size and length is of extreme importance and should be well thought out and planned per this manual before beginning installation. Items to consider are as follows:
   a. Cable Size – Size is based on the amperage draw of the unit compared to the maximum amperage a cable can carry. We recommend NO MORE THAN
   a 10% drop in voltage from the source (battery) to the GoWISE Power unit or a cable run not longer than 6 feet.
   Recommended cable sizes:
   Wattage| Cable Size| Cable Length| ANL Fuse
   ---|---|---|---
   1000W| 4# pure copper| 6 ft.| 150A
   1500W| 2# pure copper| 6 ft.| 250A
   2000W| 0# pure copper| 6 ft.| 300A
   3000W| 2/0# pure copper| 6 ft.| 500A

b. Installing DC Safety ANL Fuse: Install fuse in positive (+) cable within 7” of battery. See the above table for the recommended fuse.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CABLE TERMINATION BY MEANS OTHER THAN PROPER CRIMPING, WITH A PROPERLY CALIBRATED TOOL. SOLDER AND
AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR-TYPE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. USE OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF TERMINATIONS WILL RESULT IN  PREMATURE, UNWARRANTIED FAILURE OF THE GOWISE POWER UNIT.

2. AC Cables – AC Cables should be readily available in both 2 and 3 conductors. Size is based on the maximum amperage to be passed through the cable and unlike DC does not take into account the length of the cable run and voltage drop.

OPERATION

Inverter Power On and Off
The AC output can be turned on or off by pressing the ON/OFF button on the display panel. With the remote feature, the inverter can be turned on or off remotely as well.
GFCI Testing
To test the GFCI, start by plugging a load such as a lamp into the outlet. Press the TEST button to shut the power off to the load. If the load turns off, then this part of the test is a pass. Next, press the RESET button. If power is restored to the load, then this test is a pass and verifies the functionality of the GFCI.
Operating the Inverter within the Load Range
Load Type Precautions

• Resistive Loads – Be careful with resistive loads that generate heat (toasters, electric stoves, etc.). Due to the high current drawn by these loads, a typical battery bank would be drained very quickly. Therefore, it would impractical to run the inverter with these types of loads for an extended period of time.
• Motor Loads – Use caution with the type of motor that you connect the inverter. Induction motors require a much higher startup current than their running current. Since motors vary in their characteristics, it is best to test the motor load on the inverter. If the motor does not start or loses power, the inverter should be turned off and the motor removed. If the motor startup current is too high, the inverter will turn itself off.

NOTE: Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. If in a residential setting you are encountering interference with TV and Radio reception while NOT in inverter mode, then simply disconnect AC power from the power Inverter to confirm if this unit is causing the interference, if so explore the following options to minimize interference:

1. Make sure your AC connections include a proper ground connection
2. Reposition your receiving antenna
3. Purchase a separate AC line filter
4. Relocate the affected appliance so it is further separated from the power inverter

CAUTION: Check the power consumption of the unit to make sure that the appliance is within the power range of the inverter to ensure that you DO NOT overload the inverter. Overloading the inverter will void the warranty.

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Periodically, check the batteries to make sure they are in good condition. Check the terminals for corrosion and clean them with a wire brush if necessary. If the batteries are flooded with lead-acid, check the electrolyte levels every month and top off with distilled water if needed. Finally, check the battery voltage in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

INVERTER MAINTENANCE
Little maintenance is needed to keep the power inverter running properly. To keep the unit running optimally, you should:

• Wipe the unit’s exterior with a damp cloth to clean off dust buildup.
• Check that the DC cables are securely connected and the fasteners are tight.
• Clear the ventilation holes of dust buildup.
• The GFCI outlet must be tested monthly. See page 16 for the proper GFCI testing procedure.
