Included Components The PGH1 inverter will include a wired remote controller that can power the inverter ON or OFF. In addition, the 1000W and 2000W models will include inverter cables. Inverter Model Gauge 1000W 4 AWG 2000W 4 AWG * 2 3000W Cables not included.
Installation Make sure inverter is in the off position before connecting anything. WARNING Do not over tighten the terminals. This could potentially damage the unit. CAUTION Location Recommendations Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can WARNING accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
Sizing your Battery Bank Battery types and capacity relate to overall inverter performance. To size a battery bank, you need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate (hours/day) you will be using the load. The inverter is only compatible with 12V battery banks and oversizing should be considered due to efficiency losses.
DC Wiring The Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverters are suitable for 12V battery bank systems ONLY. WARNING Not following the minimum DC requirement will cause irreversible damage to the unit.

Make sure your battery bank is rated for 12V. Batteries that are 6V may be put in series to create a 12V battery bank. 12V batteries may be connected in parallel prior to connecting to the inverter DC terminals. When joining batteries together, they must be the same chemistry, voltage, and are also recommended to be the same level prior to combining.

2.Remove Cap, then unscrew inverter terminals and connect battery connections. Then tighten.
AC Wiring All AC Wiring should be approved by an electrician for RV or Marine applications. Do not WARNING connect the AC Output to a power source like a generator/shore power. Irreversible damage may occur. Do not over-tighten the screws in the AC Terminal Cover or Terminal Block. The NOTE recommended torque for the M3 terminal cover screws is .64 ~ 1.0N-m / 5.7 ~ 9.1 lbf-in The recommended torque for the M4 terminal block is Max 0.98N-m / 8.7 lbf-in...
Operation Assuming proper connection, the inverter is now ready for use. To operate using the AC Outlets: AC Side Operation 1.Connect electronic devices to electrical socket(s) on inverter. Flip inverter power to ON position (on AC side) 2. When finished, switch AC devices off FIRST, then turn off inverter switch 3.
Wired Remote The wired remote will only operate when REM mode is pressed on the inverter. CAUTION The wired remote control is an alternative way to power on or off your inverter from a distance. To operate: 1.Make sure the push button on the wired remote is not pressed 2.Flip the inverter switch to REM mode 3.Connect the remote wire to the REMOTE port on the inverter model 4.To confirm success, press the power button to power on the inverter via remote.
DIP Switches The DIP switches allow you to control the inverter’s ac output frequency or power up in an ECO power saving mode. For DIP switch changes to take effect you must: 1.Shut down the inverter via power button or remote 2.Make the desired dip switch change 3.Power On the inverter via power button or remote 4.DIP Switch changes have taken effect...
