caution!
1. Please ensure the following when using the unit as backup AC Power Source (UPS)
• That the Utility AC Power input is fed from 15A/20A GFCI protected outlet to provide
Ground fault Protection.
• Do not ground using external Chassis Ground Connection (15, Fig 3.1). The unit gets
grounded to the earth Ground of the Utility Grounding System automatically through the
Grounding Wire of the AC Input Power Cord (10A, b- fig 3.1). Use of multiple Grounds is
not desirable.
2. When the unit is being used as a stand-alone inverter (Utility AC Power input is not con-
nected), connect the external Chassis Ground Connection (15, Fig 3.1) to Earth Ground using
at least AWG #8 wire.
3. When Inverter is supplying AC loads, the voltage on the Neutral and Line Terminals of the
NeMA5-15r AC outlet with respect to the chassis of the inverter / chassis of the AC loads
will be a pulsing DC voltage with average DC value of up to 50V (will falsely read 75 VAC on
AC scale of the Voltmeter because of pulsing nature of DC voltage). Do not toucH tHe
neutraL terminaL / neutraL conDuctorS!
4. Do not connect AC output from NeMA5-15r outlets(s) to AC distribution wiring where the
Neutral is bonded to Ground. The inverter will see this as abnormal condition of Ground
fault and will shut down.
5. Do not use with Positive Grounded electrical Systems (the majority of modern automobiles,
rVs, trucks and boats use Negative Grounded electrical Systems).
6. observe correct polarity when connecting the DC input terminals of the inverter to the
battery. Connect Positive of the battery to the Positive input connector of the inverter and
the Negative of the battery to the Negative input terminal of the inverter. reverse polarity
connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
Damage due to reverse polarity is not covered under warranty.
7. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances that exceed the output power limit
or the surge power limit.
8. Do not operate this inverter if it is wet.
9. Do not install in engine compartment – please install in a well-ventilated area.
10. This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.
