IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Significant power loss to the inverter can occur from battery cables of insufficient gauge and or
excessive length when operating the units at their rated capacity. Marine installations are also
subjected to vibration and stresses that exceed those of other mobile installations. Therefore, the
installer/operator should take extra care to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical
connections and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring. Cable insulation
must be the appropriate type for the environment.
About the Circuit Breaker
The AC outlets are controlled by circuit breakers. The full output is across all the AC outlets and
not accessible from a single AC outlet (or set of two AC outlets for model 11260; 11264). The
inverter will shut down in the event of overload on one AC outlet (or set of two AC outlets for
model 11260; 11264). The inverter may be turned on again once the load has been removed and
the circuit breaker button has been pushed to reset it.
Full Load AC Output
The total full loaded AC Output is the rated continuous output. The connector is live when the
power button is in the “ON” position. On models with multiple 110V outlets, the total output of the
unit is shared between the outlets. One outlet may not be able to deliver the total rated power on
the unit. Capacity of each plug outlet will be limited by the breaker on the outlet.
Features of the Sunforce Products Pro Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter
The output of the Pure Sine Wave Inverter provides stable power and it can be used to run the
electronic equipment that modified sine wave inverters cannot.
For example, the Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter works with small electronic tools, air pumps,
electronic doors, small motors, refrigerators and hair dryers.
This Inverter is configured with the latest Soft-Start Technology. Before introduction of Soft-Start,
high startup currents from large inductive loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves
inverter operation. Three major features incorporated in SST include:
First, gradual voltage ramp-up during inverter startup. This eliminates failed cold starts under load.
Second, output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers to allow large motorized
loads to start. This eliminates almost all shutdowns from momentary overloads.
Third, the inverter automatically re-starts when an overload that causes inverter shutdown is
removed. Previously, manual reset was required.
This inverter is equipped with the additional following safety features:
Low battery shutdown
DC Input overload voltage
Output overload
Overload temperature
Short circuit shutdown
Getting Started
Before installing and using the Sunforce Products Pro Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter please
read all instructions and cautionary markings on the inverter, batteries and all appropriate section
of this manual.
When you turn on an appliance, or a tool that operates using a motor or a tube (such as a
television), it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as
the “starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to
continue to operate. This is referred to as the “continuous load" in terms of power requirements.
