Product Features

Front Panel

The Front Panel view shows the inverters ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC
Outlets, USB Power Port, and Ground Terminal.
• ON/OFF Switch
This switch controls AC output of the inverter.
• Operating LED (Green)
When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating normally.
• The FAULT indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down because of:
Excessive Temperature, Overload, Under Voltage, or Over voltage.
Immediately turn off all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the
inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents
are not blocked.
If an inverter "shutdown" was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may
excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.
Observe the Digital Display for low battery voltage. Normal operating
range is 10.5V to 15V DC.
• Digital Display
The Digital Display Shows the DC Voltage input that the inverter senses
at its terminals. Low battery, excessive load for the cables can cause
a low voltage reading and inverter shutdown. Low battery is also
indicated when the Audible Alarm sounds. An alternative display shows
the "Percent of Load that the inverter can handle". If the inverter has
excessive load "OVL" will be displayed.
• USB Power Port
This USB Power Port provides 5 Volts DC to charge cell phones,
personal media players and a host of USB powered appliances. A user-
supplied adapter cord is required to use this USB Power Port.
• Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter)
When the audible Alarm makes a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a

low battery condition. The user should reduce the AC load, charge the
battery, and check the DC cable or excessive losses.
• Ground Terminal
Grounding the Inverter Enclosure ensures personnel safety should a DC
cable problem occur. During the installation procedure, the Ground
Terminal is connected either to a vehicle chassis or to the Negative DC
Terminal of the battery. Do not directly connect this ground connection to
the negative DC terminal of the inverter. Use an insulated 10 gauge wire
to make the ground connection. If the inverter installation is located in
fixed location, the safety wire can be connected to earth's ground.
