General Information This pure sine wave inverter is designed meet the requirements of a complete off--grid solar system. It converts DC12V power to AC120V power, the common household power that charges and operates a wide range of electric appliances, including laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, fans, music players, air conditioners, and more.
*Soft Start function: This inverter can increase output voltage progressively when connecting to heavy loads with minimum noise interruption. * Remote control function (optional): Users can control this inverter from a distance with a remote control. * Excellent surge ratings for differing loads. * ETL ROSH FCC REACH APPROVAL.

Please read the instructions, warnings, and caution statements in this manual prior to installation. Device Safety 1. Operating the inverter when it is seriously damaged could be dangerous. 2. Contact customer service if the inverter appears faulty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the device as this will void the warranty.

sure all electrical connections are tight. The connection process may cause sparks. 5. To avoid dangerous short circuits, avoid wearing metal items during installation, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, or watches. 6. A frozen battery should never be operated with a charger or inverter.
Installation Always make sure the inverter is switched o- before connecting to other devices. Follow the important guidelines below to determine the installation location. * Well-ventilated, cool, dry area. The inverter must be located in an area where the fan is not blocked or exposed to direct sunlight. It should be placed in an area that is free of any moisture, with a minimum of 10 inches of clearance on all sides to provide adequate ventilation.

Calculating How Many Amp-Hours You Need Step 1: Determine inverter size First calculate the peak load or maximum wattage of your applications by adding up the wattage of the appliances and devices that could run at the same time. For example, a room with two 60-watt light bulbs and a 300- watt desktop computer will need an inverter size up to 420 watts (60 times two, plus 300).

Figure 1. This wiring setup shows an inverter connected directly to a vehicle engine battery for light load devices. Figure 2. This wiring setup shows a battery connection for medium load devices. This setup only allows the inverter to draw power from the auxiliary battery, not the vehicle starting battery.
negative-to-negative (- to -) in a parallel system, doubling capacity. We recommend that you not connect batteries from different manufacturers or with different amp-hour ratings in parallel. This may result in decreased battery life. Figure 3. Two 12V batteries connected in a parallel system for double capacity.
Before starting your inverter, make sure the following requirements have been met. The On/Off switch is in the Off position. The positive (+) cable is connected to the positive (+) battery terminal. The negative (-) cable is connected to the negative (-) battery terminal. The battery voltage is within the proper range for this unit (roughly 10-15.5 volts DC).
