Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this THOR Manufacturing Power Inverter. Please read this Instruction Manual carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and to avoid damage to this product. This power inverter is configured to supply continuous power in the form of 120 volt AC outlets and a USB port to run or recharge most household or electronic appliances. -
Page 6: How These Inverters Work
BACK OF UNIT (ALL UNITS) 7. Positive (+) DC Power Connection 9. Negative (–) DC Power Connection 8. High-Speed Cooling Fans 10. Grounding Post HOW THESE INVERTERS WORK Your inverter converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to 115 volt AC (alternating current) household power in two stages. -
Page 7: Appliance Power Consumption
A. No, the use of surge protectors (also called surge suppressors) or power strips are not recommended for use with THOR Manufacturing inverters. This causes confusion with the inverters on board GFCI circuit causing the inverter to enter a fault condition. -
Page 8: Rechargeable Devices
Appliances such as microwave ovens will normally draw more than their rated current and could possibly overload the inverter when operated simultaneously with other appliances. For example: A 600 watt microwave oven draws approximately 940 watts. Rechargeable Devices CAUTIONS • Some rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter or the charging circuit. -
Page 9: Battery Configuration
Battery Configuration Note: For heavy-duty use, manufacturer recommends an ANL fuse be added as close as possible to the power source (battery) positive terminal. The fuse amperage must be appropriate to allow simultaneous operation of all the AC appliances to be powered, with delay characteristics that allow for the momentary high start-up current requirements of inductive loads. -
Page 10: Installation
INSTALLATION Your inverter will provide you with continuous electrical power when powered by a reliable 12 volt DC source, such as a vehicle battery or a multiple battery configuration. This manual does not describe all of the possible configurations. Operating Environment For best operating results, your inverter should be placed on a flat surface, such as the ground, car floor or seat or other solid surface to help diffuse the heat that is generated. - Page 11 We have made every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy of the instructions in this manual, but THOR Manufacturing does not guarantee that the information is error free, nor do we make any other representation, warranty or guarantee that the information is accurate, correct, reliable or current. The specifications in this manual are for reference purposes only and are subject to change without notice.

Page 12: Important Cable Information
The ground terminals in the AC outlets on the front panel of the inverter are also connected to the ground lug. To ground your THOR Manufacturing inverter, connect grounding wire to one of the mounting screws and sand the connection before attaching the wire. The chassis ground lug must be connected to a grounding point, which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed. -
Page 13: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Make sure the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed your inverter’s maximum continuous power. Operation of the 120 Volt AC Outlets This unit features two 115 volt AC GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protected outlets, that function in the same way as GFCI outlets you would typically use in your home. -
Page 14: Common Audio/Visual Problems
PROBLEM SOLUTION Television Your inverter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some Interference instances, some interference may still occur, particularly where TV signals are weak. Try the following corrective measures: • Place the inverter as far as possible from the television. Use an extension cable, if necessary. -
