OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sierra Wave® Energy Center 1500 #9680

The Sierra Wave Energy Center 1500 is a contractor-grade, rechargeable power center bringing
portable energy to your home, office, or job site. Whether it is used as a backup power supply for areas
experiencing power outages due to natural disaster or as a mobile generator for a job site, the Energy
Center 1500 powers your world. Unlike gas generators, this unit is silent and does not emit hazardous
fumes. Charge it from available electricity or operate self-sufficiently using a Sierra Wave Solar Collector
or compatible wind turbine. Just plug in and go.

The Energy Center 1500 uses a 120Ah deep cycle, AGM, non-spillable battery that can be expanded to
240Ah using a Energy Center Buddy #9681 (sold separately) and comes with a built-in wind and solar
charge controller.

Inverter Information: The inverter is a high-quality and powerful 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter
that is required when powering certain electronics, such as, industrial tools, refrigerators, freezers,
communication equipment, digital TVs, etc. Using a competitive unit with a modified sine wave inverter
for these items will not work or would cause damage.
