  • Page 2: Warnings, Cautions, And Notes

    12 volt, deep-cycle batteries such as those used for marine, golf cart, and fork-lift or from other high current 12 volt sources. This model, ENK3000 / ENK4000, has been performance tested by MET and complies with Underwriter’s Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association safety standards.
  • Page 3: Appliance Cautions

    The unit will shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot. Restart the inverter after it cools.  This Energizer® inverter will only operate from a 12V power source. Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source.
  • Page 4: Getting Started

    into AC receptacles to supply a low-voltage DC or AC output to the appliance. If the appliance label states that the charger or adapter produces a low-voltage DC or AC output (30 volts or less), there will be no problem powering that charger or adapter. ...

Hardwire Instructions ENK3000 / ENK4000 First make sure unit is completely disconnected from any power source and main power is completely OFF. Begin by unscrewing the front plate which is located under the 2 x AC outlets at the front of the inverter.
  • Page 7 The recommended Gauge wires are: ENK3000: Jacketed No. 10 Gauge copper 2-wires ENK4000: Jacketed No. 8 Gauge copper 2-wires Some installation codes are required and we recommend use of oil- resistant cables rated for damp or wet locations. We would strongly...
  • Page 8 J. Ground Terminal. Determining the DC Power Requirements Powering multiple appliances from the high-power ENK3000 / ENK4000 inverter requires a 12 volt bank of batteries (several batteries). To calculate the approximate power in amps a 12 volt battery bank has to supply you need.
  • Page 9: Sizing The Battery Bank

    Sizing the Battery Bank To determine the minimum battery bank ampere-hour rating that you will need to operate appliances from the inverter, and any DC appliances powered by the battery bank, follow these steps: 1. List the maximum wattage that the inverter has to provide (as above).
  • Page 10: Cable Gauges

    Batteries used to start engines are not designed to repeatedly charge and discharge. Energizer® recommends using “deep-cycle” or “marine” rated batteries. Cable Gauges When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the thickest stranded insulated copper wire available, in the shortest length practical.
  • Page 11: Mounting The Inverter

    Operating the inverter without correctly grounding the unit may result in electrical shock. Mounting the Inverter Your Energizer® Inverter should not be mounted under the hood of a vehicle. If installing in a vehicle, choose a dry, cool, ventilated area closest to the battery as practical.
  • Page 12: Connecting The Inverter

    Connecting the Inverter This inverter has two DC cable connections, one positive and one negative. The order of steps in the following procedure minimizes the danger of sparking near the battery bank. 1. Prepare all cable set ends with ring terminals at the battery ends. 2.
  • Page 13: Television And Audio Suggestions

    Television and Audio Suggestions Although all Energizer® inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially in weak signal areas. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception: 1. First, make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions.
  • Page 14 STAGE 2: The inverter then converts the high voltage DC into 110v AC (household current), using advanced MOSFET transistor in a full bridge configuration. This design provides this Energizer® inverter with the capability to start and run difficult reactive loads, while providing excellent overload capability.
  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting PROBLEM: No Input Voltage Reason Solution Shut down inverter and Poor contact with battery disconnect. Clean terminals terminals. thoroughly and reconnect. Turn off inverter. Fix problem. Blown DC battery fuse(s). Replace fuse(s) with same type and rating. PROBLEM: Inverter is Shut Down Reason Solution Battery voltage below 10 Volts.
