1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a KickAss Pure Sine Wave Digital Inverter. This unit converts 12V DC to
240V AC using intelligent electronics, so you can operate and run mains powered devices from a
suitable sized 12V battery. As inverters output hazardous voltages, please ensure all instructions
are read carefully before use.
2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning
Before installing and using this inverter, read and follow the safety information below.
2-1 General safety precautions
2-1-1. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust.
To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment, may result in overheating.
2-1-2.To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
2-1-3.This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in
locations where require ignition protected equipment, this includes any space containing gasolinepowered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the
fuel system.
2-2. Precautions when working with batteries
2-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flush eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
2-2-2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting sparks or short-circuits on the battery of other
electrical part may cause an explosion.
2-2-4. 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Mounting
The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened against a
bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install the inverter as close
as possible to the 12V DC power source (Battery).
The inverter can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it
horizontally so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal blocks located on the front panel are
visible and accessible. If the inverter is to be installed in a moving vehicle, we strongly recommend
that the inverter be shock-mounted either on the floor (in a clear, safe area) or on a secure flat
surface.
5.2 Wiring
Follow this procedure to connect the battery cables to the DC input terminals of the inverter. Your
cables should be as short as possible (ideally use the included cables) enough to handle the
required current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations. If cables are not an
adequate gauge or length this will decrease the inverters performance such as poor surge
capabilities, low input voltage warnings and shutdowns. UVP (under voltage protection) warning
displays due to DC voltage drop across the cables from the inverter to the batteries. The longer or
narrower the cables, the greater the voltage drop. Increasing your DC cable size will help improve
performance. Ensure the cabled are connected to the inverter correctly, then connect to a battery
via a suitable fuse on the "+" cable. Ensure all connections to the battery are a good connection
and are tight and insulated correctly. Once the main battery cables are connected to your inverter
is ready for operation.
Wiring the batteries in parallel increases
the total run time the batteries can operate
the AC loads.
A parallel connection combines overall
battery capacity by the number of batteries
in the string.
Even though there are multiple batteries,
the voltage remains the same. In the
example below, four 12 VDC/100AH
batteries are combined into a single
12VDC/400AH battery bank.
Warning
The installation of a fuse must be on the positive cable. Failure to place a fuse on “+” cables
running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
Never connect the main cables incorrectly to the battery. Connecting in reverse polarity will damage
the inverter.
5.3 Remote Display
The remote digital LCD controller allows you to monitor and control the inverter from a convenient
location. This allows the inverter to be installed closer to the batteries while it can be controlled
from up to 5M away. To install the remote digital LCD controller simply plug in the supplied cable
and run to the inverter and plug into the remote LCD socket. Note when using the remote, the
main inverter switch must be in the remote position and when you want to use the interface on the
inverter the switch needs to be in the local position.

6. OPERATION
6-1 Operation - General
Once your inverter is installed and connected to batteries, switch the inverter on using the main
power switch. Your inverter will now be ready to use, simply plug in an appliance and operate. The
digital LCD control can be used as detailed below.
Warning: Do not intentionally use an appliance that is above the inverters maximum output
rating. This will cause the inverter to shut down and in some cases may damage the inverter.
This inverter features a digital LCD display which can be used to view status information and
control certain parameters as outlined below.
