3.2
Connecting Battery Leads to Inverter.
NOTE! Check the battery is 12VDC. DO NOT use with a 6V or 24V battery
3.2.1
To attach the Battery Leads remove the terminal caps from the rear of the inverter (Fig.2).
3.2.2
Place the Black lead eyelet connector over the Black/Negative terminal post on the inverter, replace and tighten the
terminal cap.
3.2.3
Place the Red lead eyelet connector over the Red/Positive terminal post on the inverter, replace and tighten the terminal
cap.
3.3
Earth Connection
The earth connection lug should only be connected (using a 10mm² cable) when the inverter forms part of a static (mains)
electrical system. In such a case it should be grounded via the existing earth loop or via a separate earth spike.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the inverter earth be connected to a vehcle chassis as this is not earthed itself and
forms part of the supply circuit.
3.4
Connecting to Battery Terminals.
3.4.1
Ensure battery terminals are clean, if necessary clean away any corrosion.
3.4.2
Check to make sure the inverter is turned OFF and no flammable fumes are present.
3.4.3
Undo the securing bolt for the red (+) battery terminal and secure the red battery lead to the red (+) terminal post on the
battery.
3.4.4
Undo the securing bolt for the black (-) battery terminal and secure the black battery lead to the black (-) terminal post on
the battery.
3.4.5
Check all connections are secure.
3.5
Connection to Load.
NOTE! Most electrical appliances, tools etc, have a rating plate indicating the power consumption in Amps or Watts. Use
these ratings to ensure you remain under the inverters maximum capacity. If the rating is shown in amps, multiply
the value by the voltage (230V) to determine the wattage.
3.5.1
Ensure that the inverter is switched OFF. Plug the equipment you wish to use into one of the inverter's two 3 pin sockets or
into the USB port as required.
3.5.2
Make sure the load does not exceed the wattage rating of the inverter.
3.5.3
Switch the inverter on, check that everything is working and the green LED is lit.
WARNING! DO NOT connect the inverter to any AC distribution wiring or any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor
is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.
NOTE! Some rechargeable devices do not operate well with a moderated sine wave inverter. They only operate from a
standard household outlet which provides a pure sine wave. It is recommended that these devices be operated
from a standard household outlet only. This problem does not occur with most battery operated equipment. Most
of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into a separate AC socket.
3.6
Placement of Inverter.
3.6.1
For best and safest operation the inverter should be placed on a flat and stable surface.
3.6.2
Use only in a dry location, do not allow inverter to get wet.
3.6.3
Use in cool ambient temperature of between 0°C and 40°C. Do not place on or near a heating vent.
3.6.4
Allow sufficient space around the inverter for cooling. If the inverter overheats it will shut down and will not restart until it
has cooled down.
3.6.5
DO NOT use near flammable materials or anywhere that flammable gasses could accumulate.
3.6.6
The inverter may become uncomfortably hot during extended periods of full power use.
WARNING! DO NOT place on or near materials that may be affected by heat.
