10,000 Watt AC Inverter by Wagan Tech

ON/OFF Switch.
This switch turns the inverter ON and OFF.
Over Temp LED
This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down because of excessively high temperature.
Immediately turn off appliances and allow the inverter to cool before continuing. The inverter
generates heat and overheats when it is operated in a location without adequate ventilation.
Overload LED
This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down from an overload condition. Immediately
turn off some appliances to reduce the load. If the continuous combined power requirement
of appliances exceeds the inverters continuous rating, the inverter will overload. Sometime
an appliance with very high start-up load will cause an inverter to shut down. If battery
condition and cables do not support the load, then a more batteries and heavier cables may
be required.
Volts Bar Graph
This inverter operates with input voltage ranging from 0.0 to 5 volts of direct current (DC).
If the inverter input voltage level drops below 0.5 volts DC, an alarm will sound. When
input voltage drops below 0 volts, the inverter automatically shuts down. This display is a
measurement of the voltage at the DC terminals of the inverter, not actual battery voltage.
During high wattage applications the display may show a lower voltage level than battery
voltage because of cable voltage drop that occurs between the DC input terminals and the
battery. Generally, cable voltage drop should not exceed 0.25 to 0.5 volts, because greater
voltage drop can seriously reduce appliance run time.
While charging from a generator, solar panel or AC powered charger, battery voltage will
be higher than when the battery is resting. This inverter will automatically shut down if the
input voltage is 7 volts or higher. Voltages that are greater than 5 may cause damage to
the inverter. Damage caused by excessive voltage input is not covered under warranty.
Amps Bar Graph
This display indicates actual DC amperes of current being drawn from the battery bank.
Note that the AMPS display indicates a range of current from 240 to 200 amps. Current
less than 240 amps is not displayed. Note that for a 240 amp reading, the inverter should
be powering 2400 watts of AC load.
AC Outlets.
Each of the four outlets is rated at 5 amps 5V AC maximum (500 Watts). Use High
Output Terminals for appliance loads greater than 500 watts or for distributed wiring.
High Output AC Terminals
There are three insulated terminals on the front panel of the inverter. These terminals are for
connecting 5 volt AC devices that require more than 5 amps to operate or for connection
to distribution wiring with multiple branches and AC outlets. Any AC output wiring that
