internal resistance and reducing battery output). For continuous high power use, a bank of
batteries is certainly required.
Most automobile and marine batteries will provide an ample power supply to the inverter for 30 to
60 minutes, even when the engine is turned off. Actual time may vary depending on the age and
condition of the battery and the power demand being placed on it by the equipment being
operated.
The inverter can be used off an automobile battery while the engine is running. If you decide to
use the inverter while the engine is off, we recommend that you start the engine every 30 to 60
minutes and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery. This of course is
dependent on how much power you demand from the inverter. If the inverter shuts down by its
self due to battery depletion, you may not be able to start the car. It is also recommended that the
device plugged into the inverter be turned OFF before starting the vehicle engine. Although it is
not necessary to disconnect the inverter when starting the vehicle engine, it may momentarily
cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not supplying power it
draws very low amperage from the battery.
Never attempt to operate the Sunforce Products Pro Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter from any
power source other than a 12 volt battery. The inverter is not to be used in conjunction with 6 volt
or 24 volt batteries.
To maximize the performance of this product we recommend using multiple 12 volt deep
cycle batteries.
NOTE Always ensure the power cable terminal connections run Negative (-) to Negative (-) and
Positive (+) to Positive (+). Check these connections frequently to make sure they remain
secure. Use the heaviest gauge wire to connect the Inverter to the power source.
While connecting the Inverter to the power source, make certain that the Inverter is
positioned far away from any potential source of flammable fumes or gases.
While in use, make sure the inverter is properly ventilated. Ideal air temperatures should
be between 50ºF (10ºC) and 80ºF (26ºC).
Always ground the Inverter before operating it.
Make certain the power consumption of the appliance or equipment you wish to operate is
compatible with the capacity of the inverter. Do not exceed recommended wattage
limitations.
While in Use
When attempting to operate solar battery chargers, monitor the temperature of the battery
charger for approximately 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm,
disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
In the event of a continuous audible alarm or automatic shutdown, turn the Inverter OFF
immediately. Do not restart the Inverter until the source of the problem has been identified and
corrected.
To avoid battery drain, always disconnect the Inverter when not in use.
Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture and keep it dry. Water and other liquids can
conduct electricity, which may lead to serious injury.
Improper use of the inverter may result in property damage, or personal injury.
For best operating results, place the inverter on a flat surface.
Although all Sunforce Products Pro Series Pure Sine Wave Inverters are shielded and filtered to
minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable,
especially with weak signals.
Remote Control
A wireless remote control enables the inverter to be turned on at the touch of a button.
