HOW YOUR INVERTER WORKS

Your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 500 simply and silently
converts DC battery power to 230V 50Hz or 110V 60Hz
household mains AC electricity.

This is achieved by converting the low power battery po wer to
high voltage DC. An advanced switching system then switches
the DC at intervals to create an AC waveform (similar to
household mains po wer) at 230 volts 50Hz or 11 0 vol t s 60 Hz.

Sinergex PureWatts Elite Inverters are supplied standard with
features generally available on larger, more expensive units –
providing cleaner, more reliable AC power and extended
inverter life.

Your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 500’s output is known as
Modified Sine Wave (MSW). This is an approximation of
household grid power. It is suitable for most AC appliances.

MODIFIED SINE WAVE VS. PURE SINE WAVE

Modified Sine Wave Inverters are compact and cost effective.
However, they do have a number of minor disadvantages over
pure Sinewave output units (such as the Sinergex Pure Sine
models).

CAUTION: Care must be taken when operating certain types
of equipment to ensure that they are compatible with your
Sinergex PureWatts Elite 500’s output waveform. Such
equipment includes chargers for some electric toothbrushes,
razors, mini vacuum cleaners and some power tool chargers.
When using such equipment for the first time, ensure that the
charging unit doesn’t become too hot. If after 5 minutes, the
charger is excessively hot, the unit is not compatible with the
Sinergex Elite 500 – we suggest using a Sinergex Pure Sine
model instead.

Notebook Computers, Camcorders, PDA’s, Handheld VHF,
GPS etc are generally compatible with the output waveform o f
the Sinergex Elite 500.

OPERATION OF YOUR PUREWATTS ELITE 500

Your PureWatts Elite 500 is designed to be easy to use.

1. Before connecting your load, please ensure that it is
properly rated for your Sinergex Elite 500. Your load
should be rated at 230V AC 50Hz or 110V AC 60
Hz, up to a maximum power consumption of 500
watts (1.3A).

CAUTION: Attempting to run equipment that is far beyond
the operating power of your inverter may cause damage.
Operating equipment with a different AC operating voltage
may cause damage to the equipment and/or inverter.

2. Your appliance should be fitted with an approved AC
plug. Plug your appliance directly into the output
receptacle of your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 500.

3. Your PureWatts Elite 500 is supplied with a set of
DC power cables with attached crocodile clips. These
cables connect to the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals on the rear of the unit. When connecting
the cables to the inverter and battery, ensure the

connections are firm and secure

. Connect the red

cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black cab le
to the negative (-) terminal.
