Output waveform

1. 

Sine 

Wave

Modified  

Sine 

Wave  

(MSW)

This Inverter’s output is a Modified Sine Wave.  

Power from most electric utilities is a Sine Wave.

Note:

 Only multimeters identified as “TRUE RMS” 

will read Modified Sine Wave voltage accurately.

2. 

Modified Sine Wave (MSW)

 power is suitable 

for most AC devices and power supplies used in 

electronic equipment, transformers, and motors.   

Do not use to power sensitive devices such 

as medical equipment or computers.   

Some audio equipment may perform poorly 

if run on Modified Sine Wave power.

3. 

Sine Wave

 Inverters provide power that is identical 

to, or even better than, the power supplied by 

your power company.  Motors start easier and run 

cooler under Sine Wave power.  Certain devices, 

such as laser printers, variable speed motors and 

digital clocks, require sine wave power to operate 

properly.  Sine wave Inverters are typically more 

expensive for their capacity than other Inverters.

Installation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document 

including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

This Inverter must only be connected to batteries with a output voltage of 12 volts DC.  

Lower voltage will not operate the Inverter properly, and more voltage could damage the Inverter 

or the device being powered.  Do not use this Inverter with positive ground electrical systems.

The Inverter has a number of shut-down points,  

for the safety of the operator, the Inverter, and the devices being used with it.

•  If the DC input voltage drops too low, 

the alarm on the Inverter will sound.   

If the input voltage drops further, the Inverter will 

shut down automatically to prevent permanent 

battery damage.  Recharge the battery soon.

•  If the DC input voltage exceeds 15V 

the Inverter will shut down automatically.

•  If the output load power rises higher 

than the rating power of the Inverter; 

the Inverter may shut down automatically.

•  The Inverter may automatically shut down 

if its internal temperature gets too high.

Note:

  Even though this Inverter has built-in mechanisms to minimize damage,  

these situations should be avoided because they can still damage the Inverter or battery.

1.  Place the Inverter on a dry, level, non-flammable, 

stable surface.  Make sure the Inverter has 

adequate ventilation and is not in direct sunlight.

2.  Connect one end of a ground wire (not included, 

use at least recommended wire thickness from 

specification sheet) to the wing nut located on the 

back of the Inverter.  Then connect the other end 

of the ground wire to a paint/rust free grounded 

metal surface, such as the vehicle chassis.

3.  Battery Type Selection:

•  Use only deep cycle lead-acid batteries with this 

Inverter, such as 12 volt marine/RV deep-cycle 

batteries.  Do not use automotive, engine starting 

(SLI), or maintenance-free wet cell batteries with 

this Inverter; they are designed for repeated, 

shallow discharge and will wear out quickly.

•  Gel and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) 

batteries can be used with this Inverter, 

but they require special charging procedures.  

Refer to battery supplier’s instructions.
