2-3-5 Dust Free: Do not install the AEP-700 Inverter in a dusty environment where dust, wood particles or other filings/shavings are present that may be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is operating. 2-3-6 Close to Batteries: Avoid excessive cable lengths but do not install the AEP-700 Inverter in the same compartment as batteries. -
Page 10: Ac Safety Grounding
WARNING! Make sure that all DC connections are tight (torque to 9-10 foot pounds). Loose connections will overheat and could result in a potential hazard 2-4-5 Set the power switch to the ON position; you will hear a beeping sound, while the display shows the word “ASIAN”... - Page 11 Increasing your DC cable size will help improve the situation. We recommend the following cables for optimum inverter performance. Use only high quality copper wiring and keep cable length short (from 3-6 feet).

Page 12: Inverter Operation
AEP-700 SERIES 2-7 Inverter Operation: To operate the power inverter, turn it on using the ON/OFF switch on the front panel. The power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If you are operating several loads from the power inverter, turn them on separately after the inverter has been turned on. - Page 13 The AEP-700 Inverter will indicate high and low DC voltage conditions as follows: Model Dc Input over Dc Input over Dc Input Dc Input voltage voltage alarm under voltage under voltage shut-down alarm shut-down AEP-700-121 16.0VDC 15.5VDC 10.5VDC 10.0VDC AEP-700-122 AEP-700-241 32.0VDC 31VDC 21.0VDC 20.0VDC AEP-700-242 AEP-700-481 62.0VDC...

Page 15: Output Power
2-7-11 Over Load Protection Indicator: (OLP) The overload indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down due to the output being overloaded. The inverter must be manually restarted. Turn off the AEP-700 inverter, correct the fault condition, then, turn the AEP-700 inverter back on. -
Page 16: Cooling Fan Operation
2-9 Cooling Fan Operation The AEP-700’s cooling fan operates by detecting output power and over temperature conditions of the inverter. Upon starting the inverter, with the output power is under 1/2 capacity (300W), the cooling fan remains off, complying with energy savings specifications. After the output power exceeds 1/2 capacity (300W), the cooling fan will turn on to decrease the internal temperature. -
