Read carefully these installation and operating instructions
through before connecting and using the inverter.

The size you choose depends on power consumption (find the
power consumption by referring to the specification plate on the
appliance). We recommend you to buy larger inverter than you think
you will need, because of surge power reason, etc.
M a x o u t p u t c o n t i n u o u s a n d m a x s u r g e p o w e r
The meaning of "Max output continuous" and "Max surge power" is
that some appliances or tools, such as ones with a motor, require an
initial surge of power to start up (max surge load or max peak load).
Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue
to operate (max output continuous load).
Helpful formulas:
Multiply: Amps x 230 (AC voltage) = Watts
Multiply: Watts x 2 = Surge Power
This formula yields a close approximation of the surge power of the
appliance.
Caution: Induction loads such as compressor, air conditioners,
refrigerators, freezers and pumps may have a greater surge power
of 3~9 times the continuous rating.
If you need inverter to run induction loads, use pure sine wave
inverters.
What type of battery should I use?
For above-mentioned models, most automobile and marine batteries
will provide an ample power supply for hours even when the engine
is off.
Actual time depends on the age and condition of battery. We
recommend you start the engine if you intend to use the inverter for
a long time.
A p p l i a n c e s c o n n e c t i o n
Make sure that the maximum current consumption of the appliances
connected to the inverter (ie: notebook, TV, fan, emergency light,
etc.) does not exceed the maximum output power of the inverter
itself.
H o w t o u s e t h e i n v e r t e r
Put the cigar plug into the cigarette lighter socket (DC12v or 24V) or
directly to the battery. Turn on the power switch; LED indicator will
light up. Then connect the electrical appliance to your inverter.
Caution: Make sure positive pole of DC clip (Red wire +) is
connected to positive pole of battery (Red wire +)

M a i n t e n a n c e
Remember to pull all the plugs out of the socket when cleaning and
clean inverter with dry cloth only.
Caution: Water and damp are not acceptable near or on the
inverter.
Do not open the inverter.
G e n e r a l S a f e t y P r e c a u t i o n s
• Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust.
To Reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings.
Do not install the Inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result.
• To avoids a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that
existing wiring is in good electrical condition; and that wire size is
not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
E x p l o s i v e G a s P r e c a u t i o n s
This equipment contains components, which can produce arcs or
Sparks. To Prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments
batteries or Flammable materials or in locations which require ignition
protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-
powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection
between components of the fuel system.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
• NEVER smokes or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting
spark or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may
cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,necklaces,
and watches when working with a lead-acid battery.
• A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, Causing a severe burn.
