Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances that exceed the output power limit or the surge power limit. For SSW-350-12A & SSW-600-12A, grounding the Neutral will cause the inverter to shut down. Hence, do not connect the Neutral of the AC output receptacles to Ground. - Page 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT WIRING INFORMATION Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with wires that are not sized correctly based on the length and the current required to be carried. Current flowing through a wire produces voltage drop along its length due to the resistance of the wire and due to the value of the current carried through it.

• Low Idle current • Soft Start Technology • LCD Remote Control (for 1000 W, 1500 W & 2000 W models). POWER RATINGS The continuous power ratings of the models are as follows: • SSW-350-12A 350 Watts • SSW-600-12A 600 Watts • SSW-1000-12A 1000 Watts •... -
Page 6: Installation / Environments
INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTS DC POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS The DC power source must provide between 10.5 and 15.5 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 7 INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTS The inverter can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it horizontally (Fig 3a) so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal blocks located on the front panel are visible and accessible.

INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTS Switching on Switch off the load connected to the inverter Switch on the inverter Wait for a few seconds Switch on the load Switching off Switch off the load connected to the inverter Switch off the inverter CONNECTING LOADS Make sure that the single load or the combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed the inverter’s output rating. -
Page 10: 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 less than inverter’s power. - Page 11 OPERATING TIPS DETERMINING BATTERY SIZE The power inverter will require DEEP CYCLE lead acid batteries of appropriate capacity. The automotive SLI (Starting/lighting/Ignition) battery is not designed for repeated deep discharge. The SLI battery may not supply enough energy and its service life may be reduced. To determine the minimum battery size that you will need to operate appliances, follow these steps: Determine the AC wattage of each appliance and / or tool you will need to simultaneously operate from the inverter.

Page 12: Protective Features Of The Inverter
PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE INVERTER OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The unit is cooled by load controlled fan (s). The fan(s) will be normally switched off at low loads to conserve battery power and will be switched on automatically once the load reaches a certain threshold. In case the fan fails or if the cooling is inadequate due to higher ambient temperature or restricted air flow, the temperature inside the inverter will be too high and the unit will automatically shut down. -

Page 16: Fuse Replacement
FUSE REPLACEMENT FUSES INSIDE THE INVERTER The AC side of this inverter is protected by an integral electronic overload circuit and will automatically reset in some cases. More than that, this inverter is equipped with a DC side fuses that are located inside the inverter. Normally, these fuses will not blow unless a serious problem occurs. -
