instructions.
1-1. General Safety
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 not undersized.
Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard Wiring.
1-1-3. There are some components in the inverter can cause arcs and sparks.
To prevent from fire or explosion, do not put batteries, flammable
materials, or anything should be ignition–protected around the inverter.
1-2. Precautions When Working with Batteries
Precautions
using the Inverter, read and save the safety
1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, you shall wash it out with soap
and water immediately. If battery acid contacts your eyes, you shall
wash it out with cold running water for at least 20 minutes and get
medical attention i
1-2-2. Never smoke or make a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or
the 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 operating with a lead-acid batteries.
Doing so may cause short circuit and very high temperature, which can
melt metal items and even burn you.

T
he power inverter should be installed in an environment that meets the
following requirements：
3-4-1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter.
3-4-2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0℃ and 40℃, the
cooler the better.
3-4-3. Safe – Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other
areas where flammable fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or
engine compartments.
3-4-4. Ventilated –Keep the inverter a distance (as least 1 inch) away from
surrounding things. Ensure the ventilation shafts on the rear and the
bottom of the unit are not obstructed.
3-4-5. Dust – Do not install the Inverter in a dusty environments
The dust can be inhaled into the unit when the cooling fan is working.
3-4-6. Close to batteries – Avoid excessive cable lengths. Do not install the
Inverter in the same compartment as batteries.
Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 3-5).
Do not mount the Inverter where it will be exposed to the gases
produced by the battery. These gases are very corrosive, and
prolonged exposure will damage the Inverter.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard. Before pro
check that the Inverter is NOT connected to any
batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any
electrical sources. Do not connect the output terminals
of the Inverter to an incoming AC source.
ceeding further, carefully
3-5.
DC Wiring Connections：
Follow thi
of the Inverter. The cables should be as short as possible (less than 10 feet
/ 3 meters ideally) and large enough to handle the required current in
accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to the
installation.
Cables that are not an adequate gauge (too narrow) or too long will
deteriorate inverter performance such as poor surge capability and frequent
low-input voltage warnings and shutdowns.
These low input voltage warnings are due to DC voltage drop across the
cables from the inverter to the batteries.
The longer and narrower the cables, the greater the voltage drop.
Increasing DC cable size helps improve the situation. Thor Mftg. Inc.
recommends the following cables for optimum inverter performance.

6. AC Safety GroundingΚ
The AC output ground wire should go
( for example, a distribution panel ground bus ).
3-6-1. Neutral Grounding (GFCI’S)Κ
3-6-1-1. 120V modelsΚThe neutral conductor of the AC output circuit
of the Inverter is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation. This conforms to National
Electrical Code requirements that separately derived from AC
sources (such as inverters and generators) which have their
neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way as the
neutral conductors from the utility tied to ground at the AC
breaker panel. For models configured with a transfer relay,
while AC utility power is present and the Inverter is in bypass
mode, this connection (the neutral of the Inverter’s AC output
to input safety ground) is not present so that the utility
neutral is only connected to ground at your breaker panel,
as required.
to the grounding point for your loads
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)Κ
nstallations in Recreational Vehicles (for North American approvals) will
I
require GFCI protection of all branch circuit connected to the AC output of
the hardwire terminal equipped with Inverter. In addition, electrical codes
require GFCI protection of certain receptacles in residential installations.
While the pure sine wave output of the Inverter is equivalent to the
waveform provided by utilities, compliance with UL standards requires us to
test and recommend specific GFCI.
Thor has tested the following GFCI – protected 20A receptacles and found
that they functioned properly when connected to the output of the Inverter.
3-7.
Inverter Operation：
To
operate the power inverter, use the ON / OFF switch on the Front panel to
turn the power on. Then the power inverter is ready to deliver AC power to
your loads. If there is several loads use, turn them on separately after the
inverter is “ON” in order to prevent OVP resulted from the surge power.
3-7-1. Set the power switch to “ON” position and the buzzer will send out
“Beep” sounds at the moment. Then the inverter will make selfdiagnosis, and the LED’s indicators will also appear various colors.
Finally the buzzer will “Beep” again and the Input Level and Status
LED indicators will turn to “Green” color, then the inverter starts to
work successfully.
3-7-2. Set the power switch to the OFF position, then the inverter stops and
all the lights go Off.
3-7-3. Set the power inverter switch to ON position and turn the test load On.
The inverter should supply power to the load. If you plan to
accurately measure the true output r.m.s. voltage of the inverter, a
meter such as FLUKE 45 BECKMAN 4410 or TRIPLETT 4200 must be
used.
