Operating Procedure

A. Verify the battery operating Voltage And protection switch is on (inverter off).
B. Turn protection switch #1 “off° (circuit breaker) once the battery connection has been verified.
C. Turn protection switch #3 “off’ lithe butter is sounding, turn the connected AC devices off and toggle the power switch &then on The buzzer should stop.
D. Connect the battery cable to terminal # I (+) is Red, (-) is Black, refer to figure # I). The length of the cable may vary slightly. but should preferably be less than 10 Ft. The shorter the length of the cable the better the batteries will perform. If a longer distance is needed, a larger gauge cable is required.
E. Connect the Red cable lug to the positive (+) on the battery and the Black lug to the negative (-) of the battery. Arrange the battery cables to the safest angles.
F. Now you should connect and turn the AC devices on. Most equipment using motors has a higher startup requirement. This may cause the inverter to buzz and go into overload or pop the circuit breakers. This should not damage the inverter; however, you should not continue to try and power up the equipment. Repeated overloads will cause damage to the inverter Call AIMS Power Tech support and verify startup requirements.
G. The frequency of the inverter is tine-tuned at 60Hz from the manufacture.
You may however find it convenient and necessary to adjust it using switch #10 to 50Hz.
H. The inverter may operate in overload for a short period of time. If you continue the use in overload, the inverter may overheat and shut down. You will then be required to turn the inverter off and on again.

Overview

Locate the number below to the number on the Front or Back of the inverter on Overview page 10. 1)

1. Input Terminal (12V, 24V, or 48V)
   Prior to any connections make sure you match the battery voltage to the inverter input Voltage. You will probably notice an arc when connecting a discharged or new power inverter to your batteries. Make sure to connect the battery (+) to Black and battery (-) to Red. Tighten terminals. In case of extreme vibration, go back and verify terminals are tight.
   Tip: When connecting multiple 12Vdc batteries, connect all the Red (+) together and all the Black (-) together. This will keep the input Voltage at 12Vdc. Never connect batteries with different Voltages wile% you are certain of what you are doing

2.  Power Switch
   This is the main unit Power Switch. When this is turned OFF, the inverter is off. When turned ON, the inverter is on. You may or may not have 120V AC out, depending on the two Protection Switches.

3.  Overload Protection LED’ s When the inverters self-tests process completes, this red LED will illuminate. If this red LED is off, an internal error is indicated. First, you will hear a buzzer, followed by this LED being illuminated. You should immediately turn off all of your equipment. The LED will automatically reset once the overload situation has been resolved. The overload may be caused by one or more of the following:
   • Short circuit on AC line
   • An actual overload occurred exceeding the inverters output power
   • Over Temperature
   • Low battery Voltage
   • High battery Voltage

4. AC Voltage Source (this may be 110 or 120V AC 60Hz for the US market) Please make sure no other power source can ever feedback into these outlets. It will permanently damage the inverter and void the warranty.

5. Automatic Fan Operation These fans are thermally controlled and will turn on automatically when needed.

6. Protection Switch The Protection Switch is a circuit breaker. If the output is exceeded, the breaker will POP and you will have to manually reset it. This circuit breaker will protect the inverter in case of overload or a short circuit. If you have to reset this breaker, you should verify the Startup and Running current (listed on equipment) requirements for your equipment. A startup may be several times higher than the running rate and may cause this protection breaker to pop.
   Example: air conditioners or air compressors have high startup ratings called Locked Rotor Amps (LILA.).

7. AC Terminal Block (120V AC) * is only available for 2000 watts and above This Terminal block is a convenient way of direct connecting equipment to achieve the full output power of the inverter. Be very careful as these may be” hoe’ and if touched may cause severe injury and electrical shock.
   Warning: It is recommended to have a professional electrician wire to these terminals. If they are touched, they may cause severe shock and if wired incorrectly may cause permanent damage to the inverter and equipment, voiding warranty, and in extreme cases may cause a fire.

8. Case ground Terminal We recommend you use this terminal to ground the inverter case, It may be required for certain appliances or equipment’s safety *Some home installations will require this please check local laws and code regulations. Marine and automotive may not apply.

9. Selectable Frequency Switch Selection is available between 60Hz and 50Hz, Convert and use according to the set frequency of the devices. (60Hz is required in the U.S. market)

10. Remote Power Switch Terminal If you need to mount an ON/OIT switch for the inverter in a separate location for your specific application, you can use the supplied adapter to remotely locate any open/close ON/OFF switch that you choose.

Troubleshooting:

t Use the inverter under a lower condition than the specified output capacity I refer to instructions)
The onion voltage is low or has no output voltage with small AC loads.| Check the charging status oldie battery’ with a meter Check the durability of the battery ss idt a meter Check all connections between bandy and inserter| Check to see if the battery is fully charged with a meter. Check to ensure the correct wire gauge is connected between battery and inverter and AC output.
The warning red LED illuminates the overload alarm is beeping| Check for abnormalities on the devices connected to the inverter
Check if the consumption powers or the devices are mammals with a meter.| Remove devices operating abnormally.
Check the inrush surge of all connected devices. MAX some ability of& inverter is 200% of the output capacity for
500 milliseconds
Fuse breaks
The protection switch has been tripped| Check all wiring connections.
Check the devices connected to the inserter| Check the (Pos.) and – (Neg.) connections are made properly.
Make sure the connected device does not exceed the capacity of the inverter
!Ugh output voltage is the present output of the inverter has increased drastically| Check if the input voltage of the battery is correct at 12V. 24V or 48V DC| turn other devices connected to the 120V AC output of the inverter Check the voltage of the battery with an external multimeter.

Tips for improving inverter service life
Before using the inverter with heavy motors or appliances, it is wise to verify the startup requirements. This is most often much higher than the listed running requirements at 3 to 5 times the continuous current rating. To keep the life expectancy of the inverter at its maximum, please ensure plenty of ventilation

General problems:

Audio system noise: Noise may be generated from the speakers or amplifier when using the inverter to power low-grade stereo systems and large portable radios. This is due to the interference between the electricity and current running through each device. You are hearing the RF generated by the inverter.
TV interference: The operation of this inverter may cause interference in receiving specific TV channels; in this case perform the following procedure’s to try to resolve the problems.
Audio, TV, and wireless devices shall be installed in an area as far as possible away from the inverter. Try installing a line filter on an affected device.

Cautions during use

• For normal operation, devices with excessive loads are applied momentarily such as refrigerators, air conditioners, electric motors, hand tools Etc. Should be within 60% of the maximum output capacity of this inverter. Check the capacity of this inverter as well as the capacity of the intended devices to be used.
• When the rated continuous capacity of the motor is equal to or greater than the rated capacity of the inverter, the operation of the intended device may not be available due to the inverter’s lack of surge ability. (Example. A 2000 watt motor with a 2000 watt inverter, the startup of the motor maybe 6000 watts and cause the inverter to fail.)
• Devices using heaters will increase the temperature of the inverter drastically. When using devices like this make sure to provide proper ventilation for the inverter. Improper ventilation will cause inverter shutdown and malfunction resulting in irreversible damage.
•  Audio and video devices shall be used within the maximum power rating of the inverter. If the rating capacity is exceeded there will be ac momentary cut-off. For safe operation use 75%-80% of the listed capacity.

Warnings:

• Never allow moisture into or around the inverter. This will void your warranty
• Allow plenty of ventilation around the inverter. It needs air to keep cool, or it may get extremely hot and shut down
• Avoid placing the inverter in direct sunlight
• Always keep inverters away from flammable objects
