• Batteries can be dangerous; follow all battery manufacturer’s instructions and warnings. • Never operate the inverter without the DC negative input connected direct to the battery and never install a fuse, circuit breaker or battery switch in the negative supply line (IP150 excepted).

FULLY ISOLATED DESIGN Safety is paramount around 240V and in particular with inverters which is why Projecta fully electrically isolates the DC (and therefore battery posts, vehicle chassis, etc) from the 240V AC circuit.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVERTER A) IP150 & IP300 These inverters are equipped with a bi-colour status L.E.D and audible alarm. During normal operation, the L.E.D will illuminate solid green. In the event of a fault or error, the alarm will sound and the L.E.D will illuminate various signals.

REMOTE CONTROL DISPLAY (IP600 & IP1000 ONLY) To install the remote control, insert the data plug into the data socket at the rear of the inverter. To operate the inverter using the remote, the inverter On/Off switch must be turned to ON. The remote is equipped with an LCD screen identical to the inverter, as well a bi-colour status L.E.D and audible alarm.
MOUNTING REMOTE CONTROL FLUSH MOUNT • Cut a 93mm x 70mm hole into the desired mounting surface to suit the supplied mounting plate. • Position the mounting plate into the hole with the side labelled ‘FLUSH MOUNT’ facing outwards and screw the supplied screws into the mounting surface as per the below illustration.

All appliances have a rating plate that shows the amount of power (Watts) used or the current (Amps) drawn under normal use. The following table shows the maximum combined AC Watts or AC Amps which can be run by the inverter. P/No. IP150 IP300 IP600 IP1000 AC Combined maximum load (Watts)
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ: Q. Why does the inverter turn itself off? A. If the inverter’s audible alarm sounds and a fault L.E.D illuminates, this indicates that there is a fault or error, and the inverter may turn off. Most commonly this would be caused by an appliance that is drawing too much power (overloading), low battery voltage or voltage drop due to insufficient size cables or poor connections (refer to ‘Faults &...

Q. Why does it damage the inverter if the battery leads are reverse-connected? A. Your inverter uses sophisticated electronics to convert DC battery power to AC mains power. If you accidentally connect the inverter to the battery incorrectly (reverse polarity) a large current will be drawn by the inverter which will blow the protection fuse.
