Page 5: General Information
A remote for powering the inverter loads on or off (For select models only) Pure Sine Wave The Renogy Power Inverters output a pure sine wave similar to the waveform of the grid power. In a pure sine wave, the voltage rises and falls in a smooth fashion with very low harmonic distortion and cleaner utility-like power. -

Page 11: Sizing A Battery Bank
Ensure installation follows the following guidelines: 1. Cool, dry, well-ventilated area—Heat is the worst enemy for electronic equipment. Inverters must be in an area where the fans are not blocked or where they are not hit directly by the sun. They should be in an area free of any kind of moisture and allow for clearance of at least 10”... -
Page 12: Grounding
*For this Renogy inverter, the battery bank will be 12 volts direct current (12 VDC) Example 700 Watts to run microwave using the batteries as if it was a 12VDC microwave requires 58 Amps A Microwave = 700 Watts 700 Watts / 12 Volts = 58 Amps... -
Page 13: Dc Side Connection
This serves the purpose of splitting the potentially high amperages and protecting the wires. NOTE: The 500W inverter is used as the example in the wiring schematics. The same principles apply to the 1000W and 2000W inverters. 1. Flip inverter power to OFF position (on AC side) - Page 14 2. Unscrew inverter terminals and connect battery connections. Then tighten.

Page 15: Operation
Simply be within a 170 foot radius of the inverter and press the off or on button. NOTE: The wireless remote is not included in the 500W inverter models. -
Page 16: Usb Operation
USB Operation The Renogy inverters are equipped with a unique USB feature where the user is able to plug their USB devices for charging purposes. This feature is a simple “plug and play”. NOTE: USB operation is not compatible with the Apple Lightning Connector. -
Page 17: Inverter Troubleshooting
If the inverter experiences an internal Short Circuit Indicator short circuit, it will sound the alarm and (AUDIBLE ALARM) turn on the red indicator. Inverter Troubleshooting Indicator Troubleshoot Use a multi-meter to check the voltage of the battery. Make sure the battery voltage is not below the rated specification of the inverter. - Page 18 A short might occur down the DC line connecting to the inverter. Check the battery connections going to the inverter and ensure that there is continuity. In the event that there is an in-line fuse installed, check to make sure the fuse has not blown.

Page 19: External Fusing
When the inverter is switched on, the circuitry inside is activated. Even if there is no load on the AC side of the inverter, users will experience a small amount of current Idle draw from inverter draw to keep the circuitry within the inverter ready to power. -
