General Precautions
Before using the inverter, read all instructions and
caution markings on the inverter, the batteries & all
appropriate sections of this instruction manual.
WARNING: Do not expose the inverter to any
type of chemicals. The inverter is designed
for interior use only.
WARNING: Do not disassemble the inverter;
take it to a qualied service center when
service or repair is required. Opening by unqualied
personnel can lead to electrical shock or re hazard
and void the warranty.
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring
before cleaning.
WARNING: Avoid exposing the inverter or
batteries to any type of explosive gases (in
the vicinity, as batteries generate explosive gases
during normal operation). Provide proper ventilation.
The battery enclosures should be designed to prevent
accumulation and concentration by hydrogen gas in
“pockets” at the top of the compartment. Vent the
battery compartment from the highest point. A sloped
lid can also be used to direct the ow to the vent
opening location. To reduce the risk of the battery
explosion, follow all the instructions of the battery
supplier or any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of batteries.
CAUTION: Have plenty of fresh water and
soap nearby in the event that battery acid
contact skin, clothing or eyes.
CAUTION: Wear complete eye and clothing
protection.
CAUTION: Avoid touching eyes while working
near batteries. Wash your hands when done.
CAUTION: If battery acid comes in contact
with skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water.
KnowIng your Inverter
In its most basic form, an inverter transforms Direct
Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). The battery
acts as a reserve to ensure continuous supply of
power whenever mains supply from utility power
is not available. The inverter is used to charge the
battery when normal utility power is available and
converts the battery’s DC to AC voltage to run the
pump when utility power is lost.
Battery Safety
A battery can present a risk of severe burn and
injury from high short circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working on
batteries.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of battery in a re.
The battery may explode.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of
severe burn and injury from high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be
observed when working on batteries.
CAUTION: The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric
acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is
electrically conductive and corrosive. The following
procedures should be observed:
a. If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately.
b. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, ush
thoroughly and immediately with water.
Seek medical attention.
c. Spilled electrolyte should be washed down
with a suitable acid neutralizing agent. A
common practice is to use a solution of
approximately one pound (500 grams)
bicarbonate of soda to approximately one
gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of
soda solution be added until the evidence
of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The
resulting liquid should be ushed with
water and the area dried.
CAUTION: Do not reverse the battery
connections, as it will blow the battery fuse. A
power cord has been provided to connect the inverter
to incoming AC wall outlet.
Battery requIrementS
Your unit operates on 12 VDC battery power when
in the power fail mode. A UL recognized deep cycle
marine battery should be used. There are two principal
types of batteries: starting and deep cycle. There
are several different types of battery constitutions
including liquid lead acid, nickel iron, nickel cadmium,
alkaline and maintenance free. Batteries are sealed
or vented.
Starting Batteries
Starting batteries are designed for high cranking
power but not deep cycling. Do not use them with your
inverter. They do not affect the inverter, but they will
simply not last long in a deep cycle application. They
use lot of thin plates to maximize the surface area of
the battery. This allows very high starting current but
less run time when the battery is cycled.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the
battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
Deep Cycle Batteries
Deep cycle batteries are best suited for use with
the inverter. They are designed to have the majority
in many sizes and types, be sure to use at least a
100AH battery.
BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED
