Page 4: How Your Inverter Works
2． HOW YOUR INVERTER WORKS The inverter converts low voltage DC (Direct Current) from a battery or other power source to 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) household power. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The inverter converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC to DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to higher volts DC. -

3． INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTS POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS The power source must provide between 10.5 and 14.5 volts DC and must be able to supply the necessary current to operate the load. The power source may be a battery or a well-regulated DC power supply. To obtain a rough estimate of the current (in amperes) the power source must deliver, simply divide the power consumption of the load (in watts AC) by 10. -
Page 6: Installation Notes
INSTALLATION NOTES: WARNING: Keeping ventilation when using batteries. Batteries may generate flammable gas during charging or discharging. The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch. -
Page 7: Connection To Load
Connect a length of wire between the inverter’s negative (-) terminal and the DC power source negative (-) terminal. Connect a short length of wire to the other terminal of the fuse holder or circuit breaker. Mark it “POSITIVE” or “+”. Connect the free end of the fuse or breaker wire to the positive terminal of the DC power source (battery). -
Page 8: Operating Environment
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on flat surface, such as the ground, car floor, or other solid surface. The power cord allows easy positioning of the inverter. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY- Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the power inverter. -
Page 9: Operating Tips
OPERATING TIPS RATED VERSUS ACTUAL CURRENT DRAW OF EQUIPMENT Most electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item you wish to operate is rated at 1500/2000/3000 watts or less. -
Page 10: Protective Features Of The Inverter
5. PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER Your inverter monitors the following potentially hazardous conditions: OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION – If the temperature inside the inverter is too high, the unit will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related shutdown. -
