1. GENERAL
1.01 MDS Power inverters have been designed
and manufactured for many user applications and
long life. They utilize patented construction meth-
ods and high technology electronic parts and
circuitry.
1.02
CAUTION: Inverters produce hazardous
voltages, to avoid risk of harm or fire the unit must
be properly installed. There are no user service-
able parts inside, do not remove the cover.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be mounted in
a location that may be exposed to rain or spray.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be installed in
a zero clearance enclosure.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing the
DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if an
external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC output or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: The inverter contains a circuit breaker
and capacitor that may produce a spark. Do not
mount in a confined battery or gas compartment.
CAUTION: Working in the vicinity of lead-acid
batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explo-
sive gases during operation. There is a risk of acid
exposure. There is also a risk of high current
discharge from shorting the battery that can cause
fire and explosion.
CAUTION: Be sure the inverter's circuit breaker or
fuse are turned "OFF" during installation.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.01 The inverter converts 24 VDC to 120
/ 240 VAC, 60 HZ, having a pure-sine wave form.
2.02 The inverter has internal protection
against output short circuit, output overload and
high temperature conditions. Also, there is a
thermally controlled cooling fan.
2.03 The inverter is designed to operate any
120 VAC, 60 HZ single phase appliance, equipment or
tool within its power ratings .

3. INSTALLATION
3.01 The following instructions should be thor-
oughly read and understood before installation.
3.02
CAUTION: Inverters produce hazard-
ous voltages, to avoid risk of harm or fire the unit
must be properly installed.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing the
DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
an external AC power source is applied to the
inverter’s AC outlet or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: Be sure the inverter's circuit breaker
or fuse (if needed) are turned "OFF" during instal-
lation.
NOTE: All wiring must follow the National Electric
Code, Provincial or other codes in effect at the time
of installation, regardless of suggestions in this
