REMOTE ON/OFF CONTROL

Optional wired remote control sold separately. Item #AA5603. 
Insert wired remote plug into Remote Switch Connection port. Set ON/OFF/

Remote switch to "remote" position.

LOAD CONSIDERATIONS

The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter 

can power it. This initial load is only momentary. With many appliances, it is 

approximately twice the continuous load, but some appliance startup loads can 

be as high as eight times the continuous load.
The inverter will automatically shut down in the event of an output overload so 

there is no danger of damaging either the inverter or the equipment. When the 

red LED indicator is lit, the inverter is signaling a fault.

PLANNING THE INVERTER SYSTEM

Any large wattage inverter system requires planning before installation. There are 

several steps to the planning process so the user must determine the following:

• Maximum inverter wattage required
• Operating time (run time) needed between battery recharges
• Battery bank capacity in amp-hours
• Charger requirement to charge batteries within a practical time
• Distance between battery bank and inverter

DETERMINING MAXIMUM APPLIANCE WATTAGE

Do not exceed the 3,000 watt maximum AC load or the inverter will shut down.

Most electrical tools, appliances, and audio/video equipment have labels that 

list the unit’s power requirements in watts. If the tool or device is rated in amps,
