during normal operation). Provide proper ventilation.
The battery enclosures should be designed to prevent
accumulation and concentration by hydrogen gas in
"pockets" at the top of the compartment. Vent the
battery compartment from the highest point. A sloped
lid can also be used to direct the flow to the vent
opening location. To reduce the risk of the battery
explosion, follow all the instructions of the battery
supplier or any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of batteries.
WARNING: Use the correct insulated tools to
make AC/DC wiring connections.
WARNING: Do not install this inverter on or
near
flammable
chemicals, gas online etc.)
Personal Precautions
CAUTION: Someone should be within the
range of your voice to come to your aid when
you work near batteries.
CAUTION: Have plenty of fresh water and
soap nearby in the event that battery acid
contact skin, clothing or eyes.
CAUTION: Wear complete eye and clothing
protection.
CAUTION: Avoid touching eyes while working
near batteries. Wash your hands when done.
CAUTION: If battery acid comes in contact
with skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water.

In its most basic form, an inverter transforms Direct
Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). The battery
acts as a reserve to ensure continuous supply of
power whenever mains supply from utility power is not
available. The inverter is used to charge the battery
when normal utility power is available and converts
the battery's DC to AC voltage to run the pump when
utility power is lost.

A battery can present a risk of severe burn and
injury from high short circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working on
batteries.
1. Do not dispose of battery in a fire. The battery
may explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It
may be toxic.
3. The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically
conductive
and
procedures should be observed:
a. If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately.
b. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush
thoroughly and immediately with water.
Seek medical attention.
c. Spilled electrolyte should be washed down
with a suitable acid neutralizing agent. A
common practice is to use a solution of
approximately one pound (500 grams)
bicarbonate of soda to approximately one
gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate
of soda solution should be added until the
evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased.
The resulting liquid should be flushed with
water and the area dried.
4. Do not reverse the battery connections, as it will
blow the battery fuse. A power cord has been
provided to connect the inverter to incoming AC
wall outlet.

Your unit operates on 12 VDC battery power when
in the power fail mode. A UL recognized deep cycle
marine battery should be used. There are two principal
types of batteries: starting and deep cycle. There
are several different types of battery constitutions
