1 Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and reliable power inverters on the market today. Incorporating some of the latest technological developments, it will give years of trouble free operation for your truck, boat, R.V. or other. In order to get the most out of your inverter, the installation procedure must be followed carefully and it must also be properly used.
3 Permanent Installation The use of the Tundra International installation kits is strongly recommended. These complete installation kits are custom designed to maximize performance. It has been developed to promote safe installation and to help eliminate the difficult task of sourcing the requisite and right material.
Recommended tools Hand held crimping tool for terminal lugs * Mandatory Hollow punch or hole saw for metal Drill bit set for metal Screw driver set Open end wrench set Side cutters Power drill CAUTION! Before installation, make sure that the inverter is turned “OFF.” Where to install Your inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: - Dry:...
Figure 3 : Installation schema Ground The inverter has a lug on the rear panel that must be connected, using a #8 AWG copper cable, to the chassis of your vehicle or to a metallic panel connected to the chassis. This grounding procedure conforms to most electrical codes that require to derived AC sources to ground in case of malfunctioning.
Figure 4 : Terminals’ crimping procedure 3.6.1.1 Fuse A main fuse must be installed in the battery casing on the positive cable (+) between the batteries and the inverter, as close as possible to the batteries. In this way (and in the event of cable rupture), the DC current would be cut at the batteries and would not cause a fire.
If you are unsure about powering any device with a modified sine wave power inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device. None of these potential problems can happen with the Tundra International pure sine wave inverters (HTS series).
Microwave The power rating used with microwave ovens is the cooking power which refers to the power being delivered to the food being cooked. The actual operating power requirement rating is 40% to 100% higher than the advertised cooking power. The actual power consumption is usually stated on the back of the microwave.
Troubleshooting guide Problem Possible cause Solution Low output voltage (96 to 105 volts) Using a voltmeter which cannot Use a TRUE RMS reading voltmeter properly read the RMS voltage of a modified sine wave Fault indicator ON Low input voltage Not enough battery capacity Recharge batteries Improper installation.
