1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the CSW2012-X inverter. The CSW2012-X
is a “pure” sine wave inverter with an internal transfer switch and is sold
under the Magnum-Dimensions brand from Sensata Technologies. This unit
is designed to be powerful, yet simple to operate, and will provide you with
reliable AC power for trouble-free use. Please read this chapter to familiarize
yourself with the features and bene
fi
ts of your CSW2012-X inverter.

Figure 1-1, Front Panel Features
1.1 Features
The front panel of the CSW2012-X inverter is equipped with the following
features (see Figure 1-1):
1. AC Wiring Access Cover
– when this cover is removed, it provides
access to the AC wiring terminals used to hardwire all inverter AC input
and output wiring (see Figure 1-2). Remove four screws to remove the
access cover.
2. GFCI
– a 20-amp, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected, AC
outlet. This GFCI outlet quickly stops the
fl
ow of electricity in the event
a ground fault occurs on the device that is plugged into the inverter.
3. USB
Port
– allows USB-enabled devices to be powered and charged
(provides 5 VDC/750 mA).
4. Serial
Number
– the unique identi
fi
cation number assigned to each
unit (with a model-speci
fi
c pre
fi
x).
Note: Enter your inverter’s serial
number in the table at the bottom of page i. It is to easier to record this
information now, instead of trying to gather it after the unit has been
installed.
5. Display
Panel
– a removable/remote display that shows the inverter’s
measured battery voltage, total AC output power, and any error or
warning codes. This display has LEDs that provide the inverter’s status,
and also includes the SELECT and POWER button switches used to set
up and turn the inverter on and off (See Section 3.3).
6. AC Output Circuit Breaker
– this supplementary 20-amp circuit
breaker protects the unit’s GFCI outlet and is also connected in circuit
with the AC 2 output (L2 and N2 outputs). The circuit breaker pops out
when it opens—press in to reset.
