- Page 3 DC current from the batteries into the high voltage AC current that we are familiar with. (All Quantum Harvest power stations also have 12 volt DC receptacles and USB charging sockets for the appropriate devices, in addition to standard 120 volt AC house current.) The inverter is protected internally from overheating and low battery voltage, and externally from over-current draw by a 300 ampere ANL type fuse.

Section 3: External Ports and Connectors The external ports/connectors for attaching the power cord for the AC charger and the solar panels are located on the latch side of the unit. External Connector Location (Model 3000 shown, but Model 5000 ports and location are the same.) AC Charger port Insert the plug into the socket with the silver tab on top, and turned slightly to the left. - Page 14 Solar Panel Connector Port To connect, lift the cover, and oriented as shown with the boss on top, slide the connector into the socket. Please note that the cover has a latch-pawl to prevent the jack from creeping out. To remove, lift the cover slightly to disengage the latch, and remove the jack.

Section 4A: General Operation and Maintenance WARNING! The base unit is NOT water-proof, and must be stored and used in a dry location. Wind-driven rain will ruin the inverter, and worse, set up conditions where people or pets may be electrocuted. Also, please take note that in addition to the above very real danger, the warranty does not cover water or other weather-related damage to any of the components! -

Section 4B: Connecting and using solar panels. Step 1: Be sure both circuit-breakers to the solar charge controller are switched off. Step 2: Connect the jack from the panels into the port on the generator base unit. Step 3: It is very important to switch the charge controller to battery bank circuit-breaker (bottom one) on first, then the charge controller to solar panel circuit-breaker (upper one) on next. -

Section 4C: AC Charger When you are finished with the unit, unplug the solar panel assembly, coil the cable on the brackets and stow the assembly in a safe place. Switch off the inverter, then turn the main switch to the off position. Wheel the unit to a safe, indoor location, and plug the AC charger cord into a wall socket and plug the other end into the appropriate socket on the side of the base unit. -

Section 6B: Battery Removal/Re-installation Tools Required: 9/16” socket or wrench, 7/16” socket or wrench, #2 Phillips screwdriver, pair of pliers or 2 9/16” wrench. *Caution* Although the low voltage at the battery terminals means that electrical shock or electrocution is impossible, nonetheless, batteries store an enormous amount of potential energy, that if accidentally released by a short-circuit, can melt metal tools, start fires and cause personal injury. - Page 22 Battery numbering schematic Battery #1 Battery #2 Battery #3 Control panel end. Control panel removed for clarity. Battery #4 Battery #5 Battery #6 Battery #7 Battery #8 NOTE: The battery cables are all labeled with either white or yellow labels. Please note that the 4 white-labeled cables, A, B, C, D are black, and are the only ones that go to both red (positive), and black (negative) battery terminals.

Page 32: Addendum A
Addendum A Solar Panel Diode Replacement Note that each panel has a diode junction box, thus, the 300 watt triple panel assembly has 3 boxes and 6 diodes in total. To gain access to the blocking diodes, remove the cover by inserting a thin-bladed screwdriver into the slot and gently prying inward to release the catch. - Page 33 Loosen the 3 screws, and slip the replacement diodes in as shown. It is VERY IMPORTANT to orient the diodes properly. The silver stripe goes in the direction of the arrow. Snug the screws back up, being very careful not to strip the threads.
