    2. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 CAUTIONS / WARNINGS This document contains important safety instructions for the products produced by Go Power! Read all instructions and cautionary markings on the product and on any accessories or additional equipment included in the installation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe shock or possible electrocution.
  • Page 4 GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING! This type of notation indicates that the hazard could be harmful to human life. Hazard to Human Life WARNING! Danger of shock or electrocution. Shock Hazard WARNING! Danger of hot surface and/or fire. Burn / Fire Hazard CAUTION! This type of notation indicates that the hazard may Hazard to Equipment...
  • Page 5 GENERAL INFORMATION Personal Safety Use safe lifting techniques when lifting this equipment as recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) or other local codes. Use standard safety equipment when working on this equipment, such as safety glasses, ear protection, steel-toed safety boots, safety hard hats, etc.
  • Page 6 GENERAL INFORMATION Equipment Safety Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy. Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 VAC and 1000 VDC) to verify the de-energized condition.
  • Page 7 GENERAL INFORMATION Battery Safety Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized. Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around the batteries. Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean of debris. Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame near, the batteries. Always use insulated tools.
  • Page 8 GENERAL INFORMATION Use the battery types recommended by Go Power! Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance. Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing temperatures. A discharged battery will freeze more easily than a charged one. If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
  • Page 9: Disclaimers

    GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2 DISCLAIMERS IMPORTANT: Please follow installation and wiring instructions exactly as outlined to ensure safety. We recommend installation by an RV/marine technician or professional electrician to ensure adherence to relevant electrical codes. We have made every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy of the instructions in this manual, but Go Power! 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.

    4. INSTALLATION 4.1 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not install the Inverter into a building’s electrical system. The Inverter is a vehicu- lar 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 16: Inverter Shutdown16

    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.
  • Page 17: Installation And Testing

    INSTALLATION 4.5 INSTALLATION AND TESTING Battery Type Selection: • Use only deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with this Inverter, such as 12 volt marine/RV deep-cycle batteries. Do not use automotive, engine starting (SLI), or maintenance-free wet cell batteries with this Inverter; they are designed for repeated, shallow discharge and will wear out quickly.
  • Page 18 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.
  • Page 19: Battery Precautions

    INSTALLATION 4.6 BATTERY PRECAUTIONS 1. Wear splash-resistant ANSI-approved safety goggles and electrically-insulated gloves while working near batteries. 2. Charge, store, and maintain batteries according to supplier’s instructions. 3. Locate batteries in a clean, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources and flammable materials.

    INSTALLATION OUTPUT (to Inverter Positive Terminal) To increase capacity, connect 12 V 12 V additional Lead-acid Lead-acid 12 V Battery Battery Lead-acid batteries OUTPUT (to Inverter Negative Terminal) 4.7 DC WIRING SIZING The distance between the battery bank and the Inverter should be as short as possible to achieve maximum efficiency and to reduce fire hazards.
  • Page 21: Dc Grounding

    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 22: Operation

    5. OPERATION 5.1 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS 1. 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.
  • Page 23: Connecting Ac Loads

    OPERATION 5.2 CONNECTING AC LOADS 1. Plug 120V 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. 2. Set the power switch to the ON position. 3.
  • Page 24: 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 25: Input Voltage

    OPERATION 5.6 INPUT VOLTAGE The Inverter will operate from input voltage ranging 10.5 - 16V. 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. The Inverter will shut down if the input voltage drops below 10 V. This protects your battery from being over discharged.

    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 too at least 30 minutes. Make sure DURING USE high.
  • Page 27: Maintenance

    7. MAINTENANCE 7.1 SERVICING PRECAUTIONS 1. DO NOT OPEN HOUSING. Contains no user-serviceable parts. Internal parts may be electrified, even with Inverter off and power disconnected. 2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Inverter. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Go Power! for a replacement. 3.
