INVERTER INSTALLATION

1. Ensure there is enough space for the installation, and the location should be meet the following requirements:
   (1) Do not drip water or other liquids on the inverter.
   (2) The normal working ambient temperature the product was 0-40 ℃, the ideal temperature is 10-25 ℃, a temperature as low as possible within this range.
   (3) Ventilation: Products and surrounding objects should be a certain distance, to avoid blocking the vents of the product.
   (4) 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 (5) Inverters and batteries when connected, will produce arcs or sparks, so there should not be around flammable objects such as gasoline, alcohol , etc.

2. INSTALL THE INVERTER
   For this high-power inverter, due to its heavy weight, it is best to install it on a stable platform, such as a floor, a desktop or a fixed bracket. The supporting platform must have enough capacity to bear the weight of the product, and fix the product with four screws to prevent the product from slipping off.

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 overdischarge of the battery. 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÷12V×110%≈91.6A.
2. 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.
   Notice: The result of formula above is on the basic of discharging rate of 20 hours of the battery, that is, the result is from the discharging current of 2000Ah battery not exceed 100A. When the charging current exceeds this value, the discharging period will reduce. And the quantity of the electricity of the battery may also influence the result. See the specification of the battery manufacturer.

 CONNECTION

1. Grounding
   The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked ” Grounding “or “ “.
   This is 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 internal connecting wire.
   The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the ground terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect it to the boat’s grounding systems. In a fixed location, connect the ground terminal to earth.
   Warnings:
   ● To make sure the firmness of the connection. The ground wire must be 14AWG (2.082 mm ) or even larger.
   ● Do not operate the power inverter without connecting to the ground. Electric shock may result.

2. Connect to the lead acid battery

Notice:
1)The wire specifications provided in the table above are for reference, In practice, the thick wire can be replaced by two thin parallel wires if only the total cross-sectional area of the wire meets the requirements.
2) The DC input wire will produce a voltage drop when the current is large. The working voltage of the product should be based on the measured value at the terminal on the inverter. The value is the value of the battery voltage minus the voltage drop of the conductor. If the voltage drop on the conductor is too large, the actual working voltage of the product will be reduced and undervoltage protection will occur. At this time, the cross-sectional area of the wire can be increased or the length of the wire can be reduced.
3) Connect the battery negative wire to the negative terminal post on the back panel of the inverter (black), then connect the battery positive terminal post to the positive
terminal post on the inverter (red), and tighten the connector.

B. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Input DC Voltage
High Input DC Voltage| • Do not use it when the battery is charging
• Check the rated voltage of the battery and make sure that it is in the allowable range of the input voltage.
Overload| Reduce the load power
Over temperature| • Cut 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.
No AC output voltage?| 1.The power switch is off. 2.Poor contact with battery.| • 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.
Output voltage below 100 V AC?| “True RMS”voltage 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?| 1.Load power is too large. Or the actual power of the appliance exceeds nominal power.
2.The starting power is larger than rated power (especially for appliances with motor)
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.
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
Starting alarm ?| The main reason is that the instantaneous current is too large, which leads to the detection of low voltage and trigger under-voltage alarm.| Please restart the inverter several times.
Got 40V or so while testing inverter’s ground wire and zero line?| This voltage has no meaning, zero line can be ground.| This is normal, there is no current leakage.

If the unit still doesn’t work normally after using all the methods above, it maybe the internal faults of the circuit. Please contact us: usvoltworks@gmail.com
