12. OPERATING SEVERAL LOADS AT ONCE
If you are going to operating several loads from the inverter, turn the loads on one at a time after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting current from all the loads at once,
and will help prevent an overload shutdown.
Power output the inverter can deliver the power (in watts) same as the labeled in inverter continuous (e.g. The label indicate
1OOOWatts continuous in 1OOOW inverter), the wattage rating Applies to resistive loads such as incandescent lights.
Input Voltage - The allowable input voltage ranges of our inverter are shown in the following table:
13. INVERTER LOADS
The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating. However, some appliancesand equipments may be difficult to
operate, and other appliances may actually be damaged if you try to operate with the inverter. Please read “high surge loads”
and “trouble loads” carefully.
13.1 HIGH SURGE LOADS
Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, and other motor-operated equipment require high surge currents to start. The
inverter may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within the inverter’s limits. The
inverter will normally start single-phase induction motors.
13.2 TROUBLE LOADS
1. Some equipment may be not work well or damaged by the inverter’s modified sine wave output.
2. Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be not work well or damaged If they are connected to the inverter:
• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work well or may be damaged.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and other loads may be not working fine.
• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries
• Metal halide arc (HMI) lights. If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of
the device.
13.3 CONNECTING APPLIANCES TO THE INVERTER
Since regular amounts of AC current flows between the inverter and your appliances, commonly available extension cords
can be used to connect the inverter to your appliances. If your appliances will be connected at a considerable distance from
the inverter, it is much more practical and less expensive to lengthen the AC wiring than it is to lengthen the DC wiring.
14. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
14.1 MAINTAINING THE INVERTER
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly, periodically you should:
• Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
• Ensure that DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.
• Make sure the ventilation openings on the DC panel and bottom of the inverter are not clogged.
15. RECHARGING BATTERIES
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 500% discharged or earlier. This gives the batteries a much longer life
cycle than recharging when they are more deeply discharged.
Our inverter has a battery low voltage shutdown around 10Vdc. With moderateing to heavy loads, this will protect against
over-discharging the battery. If the inverter is running only light loads it is advisable to recharge before the inverter low voltage
shutdown point is reached.
For more information on maintaining batteries, consult your battery’s manufacturer.

Low voltage alarm
11 volts or less
the audible low battery alarm sounds.
Low voltage shutdown
less than 10 volts the inverter shutdown to protect the battery from being over-discharged.
High voltage shutdown
15 volts or more
the inverter shuts down to protect itself from excessive input voltage
(note: although the inverter incorporates over voltage protection, it still
can be damaged if input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
