Safety Instructions
Explosive Gas Precautions:
This equipment contains components that can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent re or explosion
do not install in compartments containing batteries or ammable materials, or in locations
that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing petrol-powered
machinery, fuel tanks, joints or other connections between components of the fuel system.
Precautions When Working With Batteries:
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid gets into
eyes, immediately ood eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical
attention immediately. NEVER smoke, allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of batteries or engine.
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery as the resulting spark or short-circuit of the battery may
cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short circuit current, high enough to weld a
ring or similar metal, causing a severe burn.
Operating Limits:
The inverter will operate most AC appliances within its power rating.
When operating microwaves, please note that the power commonly advertised for microwave
ovens is the cooking power (the power delivered to the food) not the power actually used by
the microwave oven. Microwave ovens generally will consume 40% to 100% more than the
advertised cooking power. Check the rating sticker at the rear or under the oven to determine its
actual power draw.
In some cases the power inverter may not be able to start some electric motors even though the
rated current draw is within the limits of the inverter. If a motor will not start, check the voltage
reading of the battery voltage indicator. If the voltage indicator reads below 11.0 volts (19V on
24V models, this could be the reason for not starting. Check that the wire connections are good
and that the battery is fully charged. If these are ok and you get the same, then this is indicative
that the inverter is too small for the application.

Controls and indicators:
1. ON/OFF Switch (all models):
The ON/OFF switch turns the control circuit in the power inverter on and off. It does not
disconnect power from the power inverter. Always leave this switch in the off position before
operating inverter.
2. Over temp LED indicator (all models):
The over temp LED indicates that the power inverter has shut down because it has become
overheated. The power inverter may overheat because it has been operated at power levels
above it’s rating, or because it has been installed in a location, which does not allow it to
dissipate heat properly. The power inverter will restart automatically once it has cooled off.
3. Overload LED indicator (all models):
The overload LED indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down because its output
circuit has been short-circuited or drastically overloaded. Switch the ON/OFF switch to OFF,
correct the fault condition, and then switch the ON/OFF switch back to ON.
4. Input voltage display (INV1000/1500/2500 only):
This bar graph displays the status of the input voltage from the supply source. Under normal
operating conditions the bar graph should display in the green area. Should the voltage either
increase or decrease the bar graph will display in the red areas and the unit will shut down.
5. AC Load display (INV1000/1500/ 2500 only):
This bar graph displays the AC power drawn from the power inverter. It indicates the load in
Watts. Under normal operating conditions the bar graph should display in the green or orange
bars of the display. If the load is excessive the number of bars being displayed will increase.
Should all the bars illuminate, the unit will shut down to protect itself as this is in
overload condition.
WARNING! Shock Hazard!
Before proceeding further, ensure that the Inverter is NOT connected to any Batteries,
and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical Sources. Do not connect the output
Terminals of the Inverter to an incoming AC source.
Electrical Requirements:
Before installing your inverter, please make sure that you have appropriately sized batteries. A
battery that is too small in capacity will not allow the inverter to perform to its full specication.
The DC cabling must be connected to the correct polarity terminals of the battery bank. (Red
= Positive, Black = Negative). DO NOT extend the DC cable length to the inverter unless you
are prepared to increase the diameter of the cable. If this is necessary consult your supplier or
installer for advice.
WARNING! Reverse polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may damage the inverter
permanently. Reverse polarity is not covered by warranty.
