1. Important Safety Instructions

WARNING!

Before using the Inverter, read and save the safety instructions.

1-1. General Safety Precautions

1-1-1. 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. Overheating may result.

1-1-2. 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.

1-1-3. 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 which require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.

1-2. Precautions When Working with Batteries

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap

and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention

immediately. 1-2-2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or Engine. 1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or

short-circuit on the battery of other electrical part may cause an

explosion. 1-2-4. 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.

3. Introduction

This power inverter series is a the member of the most advanced line of mobile AC power systems available. To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed and used properly. Please read the instructions in this manual before installing and using this model.

3-1. Front Panel Operations：

3-1-1. Front view：

3-1-2. ON / OFF switch：

Power ON/OFF switch, leave in the OFF position during installation.

3-1-3. Battery Voltage indicator：

The battery voltage bar graph indicates the voltage at the input terminals of the power inverter. At low input current, this voltage is very close to the battery voltage. At high input current, this voltage will be lower than the battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cable and connections. Ideally, the voltage should remain in the green Ares of the bar graph. If the voltage goes into the red area at top and bottom of the graph, inverter may shutdown.

3-1-4. Battery Voltage indicator：

The AC load watt bar graph indicates the power drawn from the power inverter by the load. For long term operation, the watt indicator should remind in the green & orange area of the bar graph. Short term operation is possible with watt indicator in the red area. If the watt indicator rises to high values the bar will flash and the inverter will shutdown to protect itself.

3-1-5. OVP：Over Voltage indicator：

The over voltage indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down because its input voltage exceeded 12 / 24 / 48VDC version.

3-1-6. UVP：Under Voltage Protection indicator：

The under voltage indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down because its input voltage fell below 12 / 24 / 48VDC.

3-1-7. OTP：Over Temperature Protection indicator：

The over temp indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down because its temp has become overheated. The power inverter may overheat because it has been operated at power levels above its 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.

3-1-8. OLP：Over Load Protection indicator：

The overload indicator indicates that the power inverter has shut itself down because its output 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 to reset the unit.

3-1-9. Power Saving：Power energy saving enable.

See appendix 9-2 for detailed information.

3-2. Rear Panel Operations：

3-2-1. Ventilation Openings：

Do not obstruct, allow at least 3 inch for air flow. 3-2-2. DC Terminals:

Connect to 12V / 24 V / 48V battery or the other power sources. 【+】is positive, 【-】is negative. Reverse polarity connection will

blow internal fuse and may damage inverter permanently.
