GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ 3. Name and Main Function 3.1 Front view Ventilation Ports: Do not obstruct, allow at least one inch for airflow. ON / OFF switch: Leave ON/OFF switch in the OFF position during installation. Leave in REMOTE position when using optional remote. AC Outlet: Ground Fault Protected (GFCI) Outlet sockets available: North America. - Page 6 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ Frequency: Typical North American setting is 60 Hz. Set dip switch S4 to “0” for 50 Hz and “1” for 60 Hz. Power Save: Puts inverter to sleep until a load is present. Adjustable by the dip switches: S1, S2 and S3 on the front panel 3.1.2 Rearview Operation of the inverter without a proper ground connection may result in an electrical safety hazard.

Page 7: Installation
GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ 4.0 Installation 4.1 Where to install The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: Do not connect this inverter and another AC source (generator or utility power) to the AC wiring or AC loads at the same time. Doing so will destroy the inverter and void the warranty, regardless of the inverter’s on or off status. - Page 8 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ Loose connections result in excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted insulation. Before proceeding further, carefully check that the cable you have just connected connects from the negative terminal of inverter to the negative terminal of the power source (battery). You may observe a spark when you make this connection since current may flow to charge capacitors in the power inverter.

Page 9: Operation
GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ 4.4 Grounding The inverter has a chassis ground lug on the rear panel allowing you to connect the chassis of the inverter to ground. The ground terminals in the AC outlets on the front panel of the inverter are internally connected to the chassis ground. If available, the chassis ground lug should be connected to a grounding point, which will vary depending on where the inverter is installed. - Page 10 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ the ON position but with no load, the power inverter draws less than 14.4 W from the battery. When in Power Save mode the GP-HS1500 will draw approximately 1.45 W from the battery. 5.2 Input Level (battery voltage) indicator The Input Level LED changes colour from green to yellow to red as battery voltage decreases from a resting voltage of 12.7 V - 10.5 V (12 V) or 25.4 V –...
- Page 11 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ Over temperature Red LED blinking Over temperature protection protection intermittently indicates that the inverter has shut itself down because it has become overheated. The inverter may overheat if it has been operated at power levels above its rating or if it has been installed in a location which does not allow it to properly dissipate heat.
- Page 12 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ 135 W To disable power saving, leave dip switches S1, S2, and S3 in the OFF or 0 position. Table 3: Frequency GP-HS1500 Freq. (Hz) 5.7 What is Power Saving? Power saving mode enables the inverter to be “on” and waiting for a load, yet draw very little power.

Page 13: Operating Limits
GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ 6.0 Operating limits 6.1 Power output Some induction motors used in refrigerators, freezers, pumps, and other motor- operated equipment require very high surge currents to start. The inverter may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within the power rating of inverter. - Page 14 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ • Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible and twist them together with about two to three twists per foot. This minimizes radiated interference from the cables. 7.2 Troubleshooting Guide Problem and Possible Solution Symptoms...

You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. - Page 16 GP-HS1500 ___________________________________________________________ © 2013 GO POWER!™ By Carmanah Technologies electric.com Go_Power_MAN_GP_HS1500...
