Step 4:
Connect the DC Negative cable to the Negative terminal of the Inverter. Next, connect the DC Negative cable
to the Negative (NEG-) terminal on the battery or power source.
Make sure the connections are secure.
Step 5:
Set the Inverter power switch to the ‘ON’ position. Check the POWER and RUN/GREEN POWER LED
indicators on the front panel of the Inverter are illuminated. If the LED is not illuminated, check your power
source and the connections to Inverter. The other indicators should be off.
Step 6: Set the Inverter power switch to the ‘OFF’ position. The indicator lights may blink and the internal alarm may
sound momentarily. This is normal.
Step 7: Plug the AC test load into the AC receptacle on the front panel of the Inverter. Leave the AC test load switch
in the ‘OFF’ position.
Step 8: Set Inverter power switch to the ‘ON’ position and turn the test load ‘ON’. The Inverter should supply power to
the test load. If you plan to measure the AC output voltage of the Inverter, a Digital Multi Meter with true RMS
voltage capabilities must be used.
K. Operation
To operate the Inverter, turn it ‘ON’ using the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch on the front panel. The Inverter is now ready to
deliver AC power to your appliances/ loads. If you are operating several appliances/ loads from the Inverter, turn them
‘ON’ separately after the Inverter has been switched ‘ON’. This will ensure that the Inverter does not have to deliver the
starting currents for all loads at once and hence, minimizes the risk of a shutdown.
1. Controls and Indicators
The power ‘ON/OFF’ switch turns the control circuit in the Inverter ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’. It does not disconnect DC power
from the Inverter.
The Inverter operates from an input voltage ranging from 10VDC to 16VDC for 12V models.
2. Over Voltage Indicator
The over voltage indicator indicates that the Inverter has shut down because the protection circuits have sensed the DC
input voltage is higher than that recommended for safe operation.
WARNING!
You may observe a spark when you make this connection. Do not make this
connection in the presence of flammable fumes. Explosion or fire may result.
CAUTION!
Reversed polarity connections will blow a fuse and may permanently damage
the Inverter. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is Not covered by
warranty.
