Ease of Use
Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of
use:
•
The inverter is compact, lightweight, and easy to install.
•
Loads can be powered directly from the AC outlets.
•
Easy-to-read indicators on the front panel let you monitor system
performance at a glance.
•
Remote On/Off switch (part number: 100-0830-01-01) lets you
control the inverter from a convenient location—up to 10 feet (3 m)
away—while the inverter itself is mounted out of sight.
Comprehensive Protection
The inverter is equipped with numerous protection features to guarantee
safe and trouble-free operation:
Low battery alarm
Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to
11.0 V or lower.
Low battery voltage shutdown
Shuts the inverter down automatically
if the battery voltage drops below 10.5 V. This feature will limit battery
discharge.
High battery voltage shutdown
Shuts the inverter down automatically
if the input voltage rises to 15.5 V or more.
Overload and short-circuit shutdown
Shuts the inverter down
automatically if a short-circuit is detected in the load connected to the
inverter’s output, or if the loads connected to the inverter exceed the
inverter’s operating limits.
Over-temperature shutdown
Shuts the inverter down automatically if
its internal temperature rises above an acceptable level.
Back-EMF (backfeed) protection
Shuts the inverter down
automatically if a motor that is connected to the AC outlet overloads or if
an AC source is connected to the AC outlet.
GFCI-protected outlets
Provides standard ground fault detection and
protection to prevent severe or fatal electric shocks.
DC terminal over temperature protection
Monitors the DC terminals
to prevent inverter or cable overheating due to loose connections or
undersized DC cables.
