4. INSTALLATION 4.1 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS Do not install the Inverter into a building’s electrical system. The Inverter is a vehicular accessory. It is not designed to be safely used in a building’s electrical system and has not been evaluated to meet building wiring codes. Improper application may create a fire or electric shock hazard. -
Page 17: Inverter Shutdown
INSTALLATION 4.2 INVERTER SHUTDOWN The Inverter has a number of shutdown points, for the safety of the operator, the Inverter, and the devices being used with it. • If the DC input voltage drops too low, the alarm on the Inverter will sound. If the input voltage drops further, the Inverter will shut down automatically to prevent permanent battery damage. -

AC source for the AC wiring or AC loads, it is highly rec- ommended that you install an automatic transfer switch (GP-TS, TS-30, or TS-50), available from Go Power! Please consult your automobile owner’s manual for the fuse rating of your lighter. It is recommended that you DO NOT exceed the load capability your vehicles electrical system, or modify the size of the fuses installed by the manufacturer. -
Page 19: Gp-400/800/1000Hd: Installation And Testing
Unpack and inspect the Inverter, and make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. Note: we recommend using Go Power! DC Install Kits when installing a Go Power! Inverter (sold separately). Check section 4.7 DC WIRING SIZE to determine what Install Kits works for your Inverter. - Page 20 INSTALLATION WARNING! Fire/explosion Hazard. You may observe a spark when you make the final battery connection since current may flow to charge capacitors in the Inverter. Do not make this connection in the presence of flammable fumes, as explosion or fire may result.

INSTALLATION 4.6 BATTERY PRECAUTIONS Wear splash-resistant ANSI-approved safety goggles and electrically-insulated gloves while working near batteries. Charge, store, and maintain batteries according to supplier’s instructions. Locate batteries in a clean, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources and flammable materials. Vented lead-acid batteries release explosive hydrogen gas while charging. Only connect similar batteries together. -

INSTALLATION We recommend using a Go Power! Inverter Fuse and Cable Install Kit when installing your Go Power! Inverter (sold separately). Our Install Kits include 10’ of large gauge battery cables and tie downs, as well as the appropriate inverter fuse and fuse block—everything you need to properly connect your Inverter to your batteries. -
Page 24: Operation
5. OPERATION 5.1 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers only interrupt power to the “hot” receptacle terminals. The “neutral” terminals remain powered with respect to the “ground” terminals. So the strip switch may be off, but part of the device may still be powered. Inspect supply connections before use to ensure they are tight and that insulation is not damaged. -
Page 25: Connecting Ac Loads
OPERATION 5.2 CONNECTING AC LOADS Plug 120 V device(s) into the receptacles. Make sure all devices are turned off, and that they do not use more than the rated wattage during continuous operation, otherwise they may overload the Inverter. Set the power switch to the ON position. Turn the device(s) on, one at a time. -
Page 26: Power Output
OPERATION 5.5 POWER OUTPUT The Inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating. When determining whether a microwave oven can be operated by the Inverter, remember that the power commonly advertised for microwave ovens is the cooking power (the power delivered to the food), not the power actually consumed by the microwave oven. -
Page 27: Input Voltage
OPERATION 5.6 INPUT VOLTAGE The Inverter will operate from input voltage ranging 10.5 V - 16 V. If the voltage drops below 10.5 V, an audible low battery warning will sound and the voltage indicator will be in the lower red zone. -

6. TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Causes Probable Solutions Reduce load to less than rated power. Excessive load at output. Let the Inverter cool down for Inverter shuts off Internal temperature is at least 30 minutes. Make sure during use. too high. -
Page 29: Maintenance
Inverter off and power disconnected. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Inverter. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Go Power! for a replacement. Have your Inverter serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ments. -
Page 30: Warranty Return Procedure
Go Power! electronic products are non-repairable, and Go Power! does not perform repairs on its products nor does it contract out those repairs to a third party. Go Power! does not supply schematics or replacement parts for any of its electronic products. -
Page 31: End Of Life - Recycling
If you have no local certified e-waste recycling centre, the Inverter can be dis-assembled manually and recycled responsibly. A Phillips screwdriver is required to disassemble the Inverter. Note: the Inverter should only be disassembled at the end of its service life. Go Power! provides no spare parts for the Inverter. - Page 32 © 2016 Go Power!® Worldwide Technical Support and Product Information gpelectric.com Go Power!
