WARNING - Important Safety Information

To ensure safe and reliable service, your SUNRNR must
be operated properly. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS SUNRNR GENERATOR. Pay
particular attention to the WARNING and CAUTION
statements in this manual. The WARNING statements
identify conditions or practices that may result in personal
injury or even death. The CAUTION statements advise
against certain conditions and practices that may result in
damage to your SUNRNR and other equipment. Failure to
comply with these operating instructions will void warranty.

! WARNING !

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
 Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
EXPLOSION OR INJURY:

 DO NOT locate SUNRNR in an area, room or enclosed
space where explosive or flammable fumes might be
present - NOT IGNITION PROTECTED.
 DO NOT connect to AC distribution wiring. A SUNRNR
is designed for direct use by AC appliances plugged
directly in to the AC receptacles on the SUNRNR.
 Remove any appliance plugs from SUNRNR outlets
before servicing appliance.

 This is not a toy - KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
 A SUNRNR produces ~115 or ~230 V AC power.

Always use the same safety precautions that you would
use when using a normal household outlet.
 Never use damaged cords or plugs (no cuts, bare wires,
etc) in any SUNRNR or household outlet.
 Never drive over, walk on, or drag any electrical cords
including cables to solar panel or other energy source.

 Never leave SUNRNR near stairs, ramps, or drop-offs.
 DO NOT connect the neutral AC output terminal of your

SUNRNR to ground - dangerous AC voltages can be
present between SUNRNR neutral and SUNRNR ground.
 Do not drop SUNRNR or solar panel.

Power Inverter Output Waveform
The AC output waveform of the inverter is modified sine wave having
characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type
of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching
power supplies used in electronic equipment, motors, and transformers.
This waveform has an RMS (root mean square) voltage of 115 volts,
which is the same as standard household power. Most AC voltmeters
(both digital and analog) are sensitive to the average value of the
waveform rather than RMS. They are calibrated for RMS voltage under
the assumption that the wave form measured will be a pure sine wave.
These meters will not read the RMS voltage of a modified sine wave
correctly, reading about 20 to 30 volts low when measuring the output.
For accurate measurement of the
output voltage of the inverter, use a
true RMS reading voltmeter such as
a Fluke 179, Fluke 79 III series,
Beckman 4410 or Triplett 4200.

Power Source Requirements
The inverter is well suited for heavy loads such as well pumps, small
compressors, small wire feed welders and other loads requiring a high
inrush starting current, high amp starting load. Induction motors, as well
as some other loads, may require two to six times their rated wattage to
start up. A SUNRNR’s inverter has a peak watt power rating that may
allow such appliances and tools to be operated safely. The equipment
needing the highest starting wattage is pumps and compressors that
start under load. This equipment can be safely tested and if an
overload is detected, the inverter will simply shut down until the
overload situation is corrected and the inverter reset.

Appliance Power Consumption: Most electrical tools, appliances and
equipment have labels that show the device’s power consumption in
amps, watts, or both. If only amps are given, Watts may be calculated
by multiplying amps times volts AC (either ~115 or ~220).

Typical Wattages (~W/hr at max continuous setting/speed/volume):

Light Bulb – 100W equivalent LED 5 (incandescent 100W)
Laptop Computer 55
CRT TV 150
Stereo/Amplifier 240
Flat Screen TV 300
