Size a Battery Bank Battery types and capacity relate to the overall inverter performance. To size a proper battery bank, you need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate duration (hours/day) you will be using the load. The inverter is only compatible with 12V battery banks, and oversizing should be considered due to efficiency losses.
Step 2. Plan a Mounting Site Follow the guidelines below: z Cool, dry, and well-ventilated area The inverter must be installed in a site where the fans are not blocked or where they are not hit directly by the sun. The site should be free of any kind of moisture with a clearance of at least 10 inches around the inverter for adequate ventilation.
Step 3. Grounding Grounding is highly recommended for both when using the inverter in a mobile application, such as an RV, or in a building. If available, the chassis ground lug should be connected to a ground point such as a vehicle chassis or boat grounding system. In fixed locations, connect the ground lug to earth ground.

For your safety, it is recommended that you should use a battery fuse on the positive end. Model RIV1210PU-126 RIV1220PU-126 RIV1230PU-126 Continuous Output Power 1000W 2000W 3000W Battery Fuse 150A 250A 400A Step 1: On the AC side, set the ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position.
Step 5. AC Output Wiring Recommended Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) A ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a device that helps 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.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) For details on how to connect loads and the inverter to the GFCI, read the user manual of the specific GFCI. Step 6. AC Input Wiring (Optional) Utilizing the built-in transfer switch, this inverter seamlessly switches to grid power, bypassing the inverter when it’s available, thereby directly supplying the load with grid power.
Power On/Off █ Operations on Inverter After proper battery and AC load connections, you can operate the inverter. 1. On the AC side, rock the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position. 2. The inverter is operating normally. When finishing using the inverter, power off the AC loads first, and then rock the ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position.
Step 2: Rock the ON/OFF Switch to the REM position, and you can power on/off the inverter via the Wired Remote Control. The inverter is off. The inverter is on. RMS-P2 N-G Bonding Relay The inverter is equipped with a Neutral to Ground (N-G) bonding relay that ensures that either the neutral in or out contact of the RV is always grounded.
In scenarios where the N-G bonding relay is disabled, the N-G bonding relay connects to the ground contact of the inverter only. You have the option to manually enable or disable the N-G Bonding Relay. Enabled Disable The N-G bonding relay must be enabled when the battery supplies the connected loads because the GFCI will be unavailable if the N-G bonding relay is disabled.
Wireless Long-Range Monitoring If long-range communication and programming are required, connect the inverter to Renogy ONE (sold separately) through Bluetooth, and the Renogy ONE to the DC Home app through Wi-Fi.

For further assitance, contact Renogy technical support service at https:/ /www.renogy. com/contact-us. Pure Sine Wave The inverter outputs 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.
