User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Wagan Pure Sine Wave DC to AC Power
Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial power.
Use this inverter to power AC appliances in your vehicle, at a campsite, or
at home as an emergency source of AC power. Pure Sine Wave AC means
that your sensitive electronics such as audio/video systems, computers, and
communications equipment will operate properly. This inverter is powered
from 12 volts DC and it will continuously deliver 1000 Watts AC power at
120 Volts, 60 Hz.
For your convenience, this inverter is supplied with a wireless remote control
and a set of cables. The installer must install a fuse and fuse holder for battery
protection. See Configuring Battery Bank section.
This Wagan 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable addition
to your compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and
proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Please read and
understand this manual before installing and operating this inverter. Keep this
manual for future use.
About This Inverter.
This power inverter converts 12 volts, direct current (12V DC) to 120
volts alternating household current (120V AC). It easily powers TV/VCR
combinations, small microwave ovens and refrigerators. It also operates at
high efficiency (up to 90%) that results in long running time and extended
battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.
This inverter has the highest surge capability in its class. Superior surge
capability of 2000 watts allows the inverter to start most difficult motorized
appliances. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are
more reliable than competing units.
General Instructions:
Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible
materials.
Keep well ventilated–this device generates heat.
Keep the inverter away from combustible gases.
Do not continuously operate any equipment over 1000 watts.
This inverter is designed to operate from a 12 volt DC power source only.
Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source,
including any AC power source.
Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warrant y.
Keep this inverter in a dry environment.
Do not open the inverter; there are no user serviceable parts inside.
SAFETY WARNING!
The inverTer ouTpuT can be leThal. improper use of This inverTer m ay
resulT in properTy damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Product Features
Front Panel
The Front Panel view shows the inverters ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC
Outlets, USB Power Port, and Ground Terminal.
ON/OFF Switch
This switch controls AC output of the inverter.
Operating LED (Green)
When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating normally.
The FAULT indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down because of:
Excessive Temperature, Overload, Under Voltage, or Over voltage.
Immediately turn off all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the
inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents
are not blocked.
If an inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may
excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.
Observe the Digital Display for low battery voltage. Normal operating
range is 10.5V to 15V DC.
Digital Display
The Digital Display Shows the DC Voltage input that the inverter senses
at its terminals. Low battery, excessive load for the cables can cause
a low voltage reading and inverter shutdown. Low battery is also
indicated when the Audible Alarm sounds. An alternative display shows
the “Percent of Load that the inverter can handle”. If the inverter has
excessive load “OVL” will be displayed.
USB Power Port
This USB Power Port provides 5 Volts DC to charge cellphones, personal
media players and a host of USB powered appliances. A user-supplied
adapter cord is required to use this USB Power Port.
Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter)
When the audible Alarm makes a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a

low battery condition. The user should reduce the AC load, charge the
battery, and check the DC cable or excessive losses.
Ground Terminal
Grounding the Inverter Enclosure ensures personnel safety should a DC
cable problem occur. During the installation procedure, the Ground
Terminal is connected either to a vehicle chassis or to the Negative DC
Terminal of the battery. Do not directly connect this ground connection to
the negative DC terminal of the inverter. Use an insulated 10 gauge wire
to make the ground connection. If the inverter installation is located in
fixed location, the safet y wire can be connected to earth’s ground.

Remote On/OFF Switch
This inverter is supplied with a 100-foot range battery-powered wireless
remote ON/OFF feature. To enable the Remote Switch, the front panel On/Off
Switch must be in the On position.
To turn On the inverter, momentarily press ON. To turn the inverter Off,
momentarily press “Lock ”. If the wireless remote fails to control operation of
the inverter, you may be out of range for the radio signal—move closer to
the inverter. If the Remote Switch has a depleted battery, open the unit by
unscrewing the three small screws on the back side of the remote control and
replace the 12 volt model 23A alkaline battery with a new one.
