Page 5: Technical Description
Technical Description 3.1 DC to AC Power Inverter: A power inverter supplies usable 120VAC, 60Hz power by inverting DC power storage in a bank of batteries. The inverter has an optional battery charger (“B3” option, 12W8 model only) and an automatic fast transfer switch (“T” option). See section 3.2 for all options available with this inverter model. -
Page 6: Available Options
3.2 Available Options 3.2.1 External Power Mode – “T” option: 120 VAC, 60 Hz external power can be applied directly to the inverter when connecting the AC plug cord extending from the inverter (available with the “T” option only) to an AC outlet. If external power is available, the internal transfer switch cannot be defeated;... -

Page 11: Inverter Wiring
Inverter Wiring: 6.1 DC Wiring: It is recommended in all cases to use stranded copper wires. Use SGX cross-linked polyurethane insulation type that complies with the high temperature insulation requirements (125°C.) of SAE J-1127 and vehicle manufacturer requirements. Wire gauge recommendations are minimum. For higher temperature rated applications inside engine spaces or large motor loads and other applications with high surge currents use wire gauge 1 to 2 sizes larger than shown on table I. -

Page 13: Deep Cycle Battery Comments
Deep Cycle Battery Comments: Do not use vehicle-starting batteries; deep discharge cycles typical with inverter applications can shorten the life of this type of batteries. • Install at least one auxiliary deep cycle battery to feed the inverter directly. Depending on the application running time more batteries could be added if necessary. -
