WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
It is very important that any operator or installer of this AllSpark
®
Inverter, read and follow all
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES
and all installation and operation instructions.
WARNINGS: INVERTER OUTPUT
This heavy-duty device produces voltages similar to commercial AC power
Danger of shock or electrocution. Treat the Inverter output the same as commercial AC power
Do not use the Inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammable gases
This electrical device will briefly spark when electrical connections are made or broken. This is normal to charge the internal
capacitors
Do not allow water or other liquids to contact the Inverter or operate in extreme humidity
Do not use appliances with damaged or wet cords
CAUTIONS: INVERTER OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Surrounding air temperature should be between 0°C and 45°C. Ideally between 15°C and 25°C. Keep the Inverter away
from direct sunlight if possible to reduce operating temperatures
Keep the area surrounding the Inverter clear to ensure free air circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the
Inverter during operation
The unit will automatically shut down if the internal temperature gets too high. Restart the Inverter after it cools
This Inverter series is designed to be powered from for DC power voltages: 12V only for all models expect the 24v PS-500024
model. Please very carefully check the DC voltage of your Inverter and only connect it to the correct DC voltage power source.
Failure to do so will destroy the unit. Verify the DC voltage with your retail seller if it is not clearly marked on the product or its
package. These units do not have AC mains automatic transfer compatibility built in. To achieve this you must install an AC
circuit breaker and Residual current device (RCD) along with an AC transfer device. Any AC mains cabling, connections or
terminations should be undertaken by a licensed Electrician in accordance with local wiring standards
Do not reverse the DC input polarity or connect to the incorrect DC voltage. This will damage the Inverter and it will void the
warranty
WARNING: DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION – YOU MUST INSTALL A FUSE
Loose connections or undersized cables can result in a severe decrease in voltage and it can cause damage to cables and
insulation
Failure to make the correct polarity (Positive & Negative) connections between the Inverter and the battery bank can result in
blowing fuses in the Inverter and can permanently damage the Inverter. Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered
under the warranty
Making the initial connection to the DC Positive (Red +) terminal may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to charge the
capacitors within the Inverter. This is a normal occurrence
Because of the possibility of sparking however, it is extremely important that both the Inverter and the battery/s be positioned
far from any possible source of flammable gases. Failure to heed this warning could result in fire, explosion, serious personal
injury or death
Operating the Inverter without correctly grounding the unit may result in an electrical shock
