1. GENERAL
1.01
Dimensions inverters have been designed
and manufactured for many user applications and
long life. They utilize patented construction meth-
ods and high technology electronic parts and
circuitry.
1.02
CAUTION:
Inverters produce hazardous
voltages, to avoid risk of harm or fire the unit must
be properly installed. There are no user serviceable
parts inside, do not remove the cover.
CAUTION:
The inverter should not be mounted in
a location that may be exposed to rain or spray.
CAUTION:
The inverter should not be installed in
a zero clearance enclosure.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing the
DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if an
external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC output or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: The inverter contains a circuit breaker
and capacitor that may produce a spark. Do not
mount in a confined battery or gas compartment.
CAUTION: Working in the vicinity of lead-acid
batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explo-
sive gases during operation. There is a risk of acid
exposure. There is also a risk of high current
discharge from shorting the battery that can cause
fire and explosion.
CAUTION: Be sure the inverter's circuit breaker
or fuse are turned off during installation.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.01
The inverter converts 12 VDC to 120
VAC, 60 HZ, having a pure sine wave form.
2.02
The inverter has a controlled frequency
at 60 HZ + 0.05%.
2.03
The inverter has internal protection
against output short circuit, output overload and
high temperature conditions. Also, there is a
thermally controlled cooling fan.
2.04
The inverter is designed to operate any
120 VAC, 60 HZ single phase appliance, equipment
or tool within its power ratings.
Inverter Rating
Inverter Input Output___
Model (VDC) (ADC) (VAC) (Watts)
12/800N 12.6 Up to 80 120 800
12/1200N 12.6 Up to 120 120 1200
3. INSTALLATION
3.01
The following instructions should be
thoroughly read and understood before installa-
tion.
3.02
CAUTION: Inverters produce hazard-
ous voltages, to avoid risk of harm or fire the unit
must be properly installed.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing
the
DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if an
external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC outlet or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: Be sure the inverter's circuit breaker
or fuse are turned “OFF”during installation.
NOTE:
All wiring must follow the National Electric
Code, Provincial or other codes in effect at the time
