These areas may include spaces containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, battery compartments and engine compartments. 3. In SSW-350-12A and SSW-600-12A, the Neutral terminal of the two NeMA5-12r outlets is electrically isolated from its Ground terminal and also from the metal chassis of the inverter. - Page 4 4. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances that exceed the output power limit or the surge power limit. 5. Grounding the Neutral terminal of the AC outlet in SSW-350-12A and SSW-600-12A will shut down the inverter. Similarly, grounding the Neutral terminal of the GfCI outlet in SSW-1000, 1500 & 2000 will trip the GfCI.

Page 10: Installation
Section 4 | installation warnInG! 1. before commencing installation, please read the safety instructions explained in Section 1 titled “Important Safety Instructions”. 2. It is recommended that the installation should be undertaken by a qualified, licensed / certified electrician. 3. Various recommendations made in this manual on installation will be superseded by the National / Local electrical Codes related to the location of the unit and the specific application. - Page 11 Section 4 | installation 4.2 MoUntInG Please refer to figs 3.3 to 3.6 for dimensions and mounting details. The inverter has four mounting slots that allow the unit to be fastened against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch. It is more electrically efficient to use longer Ac wiring than Dc wiring, so install the inverter as close as possible to the 12 VDc power source.
- Page 12 Section 4 | installation for normal operation of the inverter, the DC power source must provide >11.0 ± 0.3V and < 15.3 ± 0.3V and the required current. This DC power source must be a well-regulated DC power supply or alternator and deep cycle battery system typically found in vehicles and marine crafts.

Section 5 | operation warnInG! Do not connect directly to AC distribution wiring. This inverter is NoT grid interactive. 5.3 oPeRAtInG enVIRonMent for best operating results, the inverter should be placed on flat surface, such as the ground, car floor, or other solid surface. -
Page 17: Determining Battery Size
Section 5 | operation Table 5.1 lists some common loads that require high surge power on start up. A “Sizing factor” has been recommended against each which is a Multiplication factor to be applied to the rated running Watt rating of the load to arrive at the continuous power rating of the inverter (Multiply the running Watts of the device / appliance by the Sizing factor). -
Page 18: Protections
Section 5 | operation To get an estimate of the current (in Amps) that the battery is delivering to power a particular AC side load, divide the load's AC consumption power (in Watts) by (10). Keep in mind that most appliances are not operating for long periods of time. for example, a typical home-use coffee maker draws 500 Watts during its brew time of 5 minutes, but it maintains the temperature of the pot at about 100 Watts. -

Section 6 | Protections 6.4 oVeRLoAD PRotectIon The inverter will automatically shut down when the continuous draw exceeds rated Watts. It will be latched in shut down condition and will require manual reset by switching off the oN/off Switch (2, figs 3.1.1 and 3.2.1), waiting for 3 minutes and switching oN again (internal latching circuit does not de-energize immediately after Switching off). -
