I)

OVERVIEW

Your NEWMAR Inverter/Charger uses 12, 24 or 32 VDC (depending on model) battery power
to produce 120 VAC/60 Hz or 230 VAC/50 Hz power (depending on model) for operating
virtually any AC appliance. It incorporates field-proven technology which provides reliable
service in harsh commercial and recreational marine applications.
The Perfect Wave series produce pure sinusoidal AC to exactly match utility power for
flawless operation of all appliances, including highly sensitive electronics such as comput-
ers, stereos and video displays which are intolerant to any AC wave distortion.
The Guided Wave series produce a quasi-sinusoidal output to match the RMS value of AC
utility power and enables the operation of less sensitive motor loads, such as refrigerators,
dishwashers and power tools.
All units incorporate a built-in three stage battery charger for rapid and safe replenishment
of batteries whenever shore or generator AC power is available.
All models feature numerous circuit and safety protections, such as thermally controlled
cooling fans and ground fault protected duplex outlets, utilize automatic AC transfer relays
and are housed in rugged, rust-resistant powder-coated aluminum cases suitable for perma-
nent bulkhead or horizontal mounting. An optional remote indicator and control panel
(model ICR-2) is available, as well.
In addition, your Inverter/Charger is UL listed (except "ICF" models which are CE marked)
and warrantied for two full years, parts and labor. Careful attention to these instructions
should enable you to enjoy many years of trouble-free service.
