3. Instructions SA-150 and SA-300 series are very reliable, portable, and fully protected. These pure sine inverters are used in a wide range of applications such as mobiles, office equipments, home entertainment, electronic appliances, etc. To get the most effective power inverter, it must be installed and used properly. Please read the instructions of this manual before you install and operate this model.
WARNING! Do not combine the 12V model with 24V battery or the unit will be destroyed immediately. Operate with the inverter without a proper ground connection may cause an electrical safety hazard. Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered by the warranty.
3-4. Installation Before connecting your applications to the inverter, always check the power draw of your appliances. The inverter can supply surge power for a short time so as to start up the electrical equipment such as motors, pumps… that need more power while starting up.
3-5. DC Input (Outlet sockets available): CIGARETTE CLAMP POWER CLAW STRIPPED WIRE PP45 3-6. AC output (Outlet Sockets available): North America (GFCI) NEMA 5-20R Continental European NEMA 5-15R Australia / New Zealand United Kingdom Universal IEC-1 HARD WIRE IEC-2...
3-7. ON / OFF / REMOTE Main Switch. 3-7-1. Before installing the inverter, make sure the main switch must be “OFF”. 3-7-2. Before using the remote unit, make sure the main switch must be “ REMOTE”. 3-7-3. Ensure the remote control contact is off. 3-7-4.
4. Troubleshooting WARNING! Do not open or disassemble the Inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may cause the risk of electrical shock or fire. Problems and Symptoms Possible Cause Solutions No output voltage, the LED glows Red light. a. Power status light is Over input voltage.
5. Maintenance Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to pre vent accumulation of dust and dirt. At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.
