Important Safety Information Symbols Used General Safety Information Do not touch the connector contacts while the inverter is in operation. Disconnect all connectors from the inverter before maintenance or cleaning. Risk of electric shock! Be careful when touching bare terminals of the inverter as they may retain high lethal voltages even after power is removed.
Power Saving Mode to conserve energy Pure Sine Wave The Renogy PGH1 Series Battery Power Inverter output a pure sine wave similar to the waveform of the grid power. In a pure sine wave, the voltage rises and falls in a smooth fashion with very low harmonic distortion and cleaner utility-like power.
Package Contents Included Components Optional Components Package Contents Included Components The inverter will include a wired remote controller that can power the inverter ON or OFF. In addition, the 1000W and 2000W models will include inverter cables. Inverter Model Gauge 1000W Inverter (PGH1-10111S) 4 AWG 2000W Inverter (PGH1-20111S)

Installation Location Recommendations Sizing your Battery Bank Installation WARNING Make sure inverter is in the off position before connecting anything. CAUTION Do not over tighten the terminals. This could potentially damage the inverter. Location Recommendations WARNING Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
Installation Location Recommendations Sizing your Battery Bank Sizing your Battery Bank Battery types and capacity relate to overall inverter performance. To size a battery bank, you need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate (hours/day) you will be using the load.
13~18.2 lbf-in. DC Wiring WARNING The Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverters are suitable for 12V battery bank systems ONLY. Not following the minimum DC requirement will cause irreversible damage to the inverter. CAUTION Be careful of the positive and negative poles. Reversing the poles might cause permanent damage to the inverter.

Wiring Grounding DC Wiring AC Wiring Fusing ▇ Typical Colors for AC Wiring Live Neutral Ground White Green Black Light Grey Bare Brown Blue ▇ Recommended Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) A ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a device that help protect people from electric shocks by de-energizing a circuit or portion of a circuit within an established period of time when a current to ground exceeds some predetermined value that is less than that required to operate the overcurrent device (circuit breaker or fuse) of the supply circuit.
Operation AC Side Operation LED Overview Wired Remote DIP Switches Operation Assuming proper connection, the inverter is now ready for use. To operate using the AC Outlets: AC Side Operation 1. Connect electronic devices to electrical socket(s) on inverter. Flip inverter power to ON position (on AC side). 2.
Operation AC Side Operation LED Overview Wired Remote DIP Switches Wired Remote CAUTION The wired remote will only operate when REM mode is pressed on the inverter. The wired remote control is an alternative way to power on or off your inverter from a distance.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Indicator Potential Issue Troubleshoot Battery The battery is depleting faster than it is being charged. Undervoltage Lower the inverter load power or disconnect the load to Fault LED Lit let the battery charge up to 12.0V at least. Alarm and Alarm Battery...

Troubleshooting Indicator Potential Issue Troubleshoot The GFCI equipment is sensitive and could trip when other GFCIs are present. Make sure there are none, or that they do not interfere in the same circuit. Keep your Problem with AC output connected directly to a load or extension the AC outlets cord and avoid complicated connections when utilizing the AC Outlet.
Maintenance Inspection Cleaning Storage Maintenance Inspection For optimum performance, it is recommended to perform these tasks regularly. Ensure the inverter is installed in a clean, dry and ventilated area. Ensure there is no damage or wear on the cables. Ensure the firmness of the connectors and check if there are any loose, damaged or burnt connections.
