Page 12: Ac Wiring Connection
AC Wiring Connection 110V Single Phase The following connection method is entirely optional. To connect the AC terminal block, we recommend using 10-12 AWG wires. The diagram below provides an example of using both AC input and output. However, this inverter charger can be utilized with just AC input or output connection depending on your requirements. -
Page 13: Switch Panel Overview
Switch Panel Overview On Switch and Power Save Functions To activate the inverter-Charger, simply flip the switch on the panel to either "P-Save ON" or "ON." P-Save: Conserves battery power by modulating (sensing) the AC output until an AC load greater than 25 watts is detected. -
Page 14: Basic Connection
AC/DC Operation Basic Connection This diagram represents a typical electrical system, with Shore Power (also known as AC Input) flowing through the inverter-charger to provide AC power, guarded by breakers or fuses while simultaneously charging the battery bank. Similarly, when running on battery power, the inverter will be powered by DC (battery) and then converted to AC, which is safeguarded by battery-specific fuses and breakers. -
Page 15: Dc Priority
When shore power is connected, the inverter will utilize it instead of the battery bank to power the inverter and simultaneously charge the battery bank, also known as the bypass function. You can disable charging by setting the Battery Type switch to 0 (refer to the next page for more details). -
Page 16: Inverter-Charger Settings
WARNING: If the Inverter is powered on while you make changes to the Battery Type and Power Priority switches; the changes will not occur Inverter-Charger Settings until the Inverter is restarted. Using the Battery Type Dial Our inverter is compatible with various types of batteries that have di erent charging algorithms. -

Additional Support Determining Battery Bank Size Battery Bank — Size and Example Selecting the appropriate battery bank size for your needs requires consideration of the total watts required to power your load and the duration of operation. It is important to note that these requirements may vary depending on your specific needs, appliances, and applications. -
Page 21: Determining Inverter Size & Use
Idle Power Consumption must be considered and included in the total power draw from the battery bank. Selecting Inverter Size - Idle, Rated, and Surge Power Idle Power Rated Continuous Peak / Surge Model Consumption Power Power IVOCH2KW 2000W 6000W IVOCH3KW 3000W 9000W... - Page 22 Appliance Variables Duty Cycles: Appliances operate in different ways, with some consuming a constant wattage while others have variable power consumption that depend on factors like: environmental temperature, specific conditions, and set/automatic functions. This variability is known as Duty Cycles or Power Cycles, which is the fraction of time the appliance is active during a given period.
- Page 23 Starting / Surge Watts Starting Surges: The initial surge of electrical power that lasts for less than a second, but is necessary for appliance start-up and operation. Appliances that have motors or compressors often exhibit starting surges, which are usually 2 to 3 times higher than the appliance's rated running watts.

Page 26: Pre-Charging Overview
Pre-Charge Overview Permanent Pre-Charge Solution To ensure that a pre-charge circuit is always available, it is recommended to install one in the system. The push button for the pre-charge circuit can be located next to the battery disconnect switch or relay that powers the inverter. Using 18 AWG wire for this connection is recommended, as the involved current is minimal and brief;... -
Page 27: How To Use The Pre-Charge Circuit
The fuse is used to protect the circuit from overcurrent. It is important to choose a fuse with a rating that is appropriate for the maximum current that may be drawn during the pre-charge period. Once the capacitor is fully charged, the switch can be opened to disconnect the capacitor from the battery and prevent further discharge. -
