CONTROLS

•
1) Illuminated ON/OFF Switch:
Move the switch to ON ("I") to supply power to your connected equipment. This switch will remain
illuminated while the PowerVerter is in operation. Move the switch to OFF ("O") to stop power to
your connected equipment. An illuminated indicator above the on/off switch is GREEN when
voltage is nominal (above 11.8VDC) and turns RED when the VDC falls to 11.8VDC and below,
indicating low battery voltage. An audible alarm will sound if voltage falls to 10.8VDC and below.
Automatic shutdown occurs when voltage drops to 10VDC.
2) AC Outlet(s):
Connect equipment to the PowerVerter's receptacles that are designed to run on 120V AC electric
power (power tools, appliances, televisions, etc.). Be sure equipment that is plugged into the
PowerVerter has a wattage draw equal to or less than the maximum continuous output of your
PowerVerter model (see Specifications, page 8).
3) DC Fuses:
The PV 1000 features four DC fuses; the PV 1800 features six. If too much current is drawn from the
AC outlets, or in the event of a major electronic failure, the fuses will blow to protect the
PowerVerter's circuitry and your battery. If the fuses blow, remove them and replace with 32V
automotive fuses of equal amperage (see Specifications, page 8). Note: installing nonrated fuses could
cause equipment damage or failure and could void your warranty.
4) DC Input Terminals:
These two color-coded terminals secure wires leading from the DC battery source. See "Electrical
Connection" (page 5) for connection procedure and safety warnings.
5) Cooling Fan(s):
One or two cooling fan(s) regulate your PowerVerter's internal temperature and prolong its life.
