  • Page 3: Important

    IMPORTANT Please read and understand this manual before installing and using this inverter. High Voltages inside do not open inverter case. Do not use equipment that exceed the inverter specifications as permanent damage may happen and will not be covered by the warranty.
  • Page 4: Specifications - Ps2001

    Specifications PS2001 1000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Installed RCD WARNING: Do not exceed the stated values for output power. Serious damage will be done to the inverter if power demand is exceeded and will not be covered by the warranty. Excess voltage can also damage an inverter.
  • Page 5: Specifications - Ps2003

    Specifications PS2003 2000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Installed RCD WARNING: Do not exceed the stated values for output power. Serious damage will be done to the inverter if power demand is exceeded and will not be covered by the warranty. Excess voltage can also damage an inverter.
  • Page 6: Specifications - Ps2004

    Specifications PS2004 3000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Installed RCD WARNING: Do not exceed the stated values for output power. Serious damage will be done to thein- verter if power demand is exceeded and will not be covered by the warranty. Excess voltage can also damage an inverter.
  • Page 7: What Does A Power Inverter Do, And What Can I Use One For

    What does a power inverter do, and what can I use one for? A power inverter changes direct current (DC) power from a 12v battery, into conventional mains alternating current (AC) power at 230V. This means that you can use one to operate all kinds of devices, electric lights, kitchen appliances, power tools, TVs, radios, computers, to name just a few.
  • Page 8: How Do I Choose Between Modified Sine Wave Or Pure Sine Wave Inverters

    How do I choose between Modified Sine Wave or Pure Sine Wave Inverters? 1. Output voltage wave form is pure sine wave with very low harmonic distortion and clean power like utility-supplied electricity. 2. Inductive loads like microwave ovens and AC motors run faster, quieter, cooler and more efficient on pure sine wave.
  • Page 9: Helpful Formula

    Example: You want to power a computer, some lights and a radio with power as below. Computer: 300W 2 x 60W lights: 120W Radio: Total Power Needed: 430W For this application, an inverter with minimum power of 600W is recommended. As 600W is twice the power of the highest power device and the total power of 430W is still within the maximum power rating of the inverter.
  • Page 10: How Do I Connect The Inverter

    How do I connect the Inverter? Many small inverters come with crocodile clips which are attached to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Larger inverters must be hard-wired directly to a battery. The cable size depends on the distance between battery and inverter.
  • Page 11: How Do I Connect Two Or More Batteries

    How do I connect two or more batteries? It may be advisable to operate the inverter from an array of 12V batteries of the same type in a ”parallel” configuration. Two such batteries will generate twice the Amps/hour of a single battery; three batteries will generate three times the Amps/hour, and so on.
  • Page 12: None Led Camera Flashes & Power Inverters

    None LED Camera Flashes & Power Inverters. A none LED camera flash generally requires a pure sine wave inverter capable of surging to at least four times the Watt Sec rating of the strobe. For instance, a camera flash rated at 300W requires an inverter capable of 1200W or more.
  • Page 13: Caution! Do Not Use The Modified Inverter With The Following Equipment

    CAUTION! Do not use the modified inverter with the following equipment: Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if plugged into a modified sine wave inverter. In particular, two types of appliances are susceptible to modified sine wave: • •...
  • Page 14: Battery Chargers - Battery To Battery Charging With Voltage Sensitive Relay (Ecr140Kit)

    Battery Chargers - Battery to Battery Charging with Voltage Sensitve Relay (ECR140KIT). Voltage Sensitive relay charges are sutiabe for all vehicles apart from Euro 5 / 6 engines with smart alternator systems. If used on a Euro 5/6 engine the following issues may occour: Poor charging, battery damage and reduction in battery performance.
  • Page 15 Battery to Battery Charging with Voltage Sensitve Relay (PSEURO Series). PSEURO15 - 15 Amp Charge to batteries, Provides a steady 15 Amp Charge ideal for small batteries and low battery use . PSEURO30 - 30 Amp Charge to batteries, Provides a steady 30 Amp Charge ideal for medium sized batteries and with medium battery use.
  • Page 16: Recommended Inverter Cable And Breaker Or Fuse Sizes

    Recommended Inverter Cable and Breaker or Fuse Sizes. Use this table to decide what size Battery to Inverter Cables and Over current Devices (Fuses & Breakers) to use with your inverter. Remember the fuse and breaker are there to protect your cabling from overheating (and potentially catching fire).
  • Page 17: Using The Inverter

    Using the Inverter. The inverter is capable of continuously powering most 220-240v AC products within the inverters rated continuous output power or less. Its AC output waveform is a pure sine wave. When many AC products are first switched on, they initially consume more power than their power rating.
