OVER LOAD indicator ……
..
The OVER LOAD indicator illuminates w/red color when the inverter shutdown because of a severe over load
.
For restart the inverter
,
please switch the ON/OFF switch (or ON/OFF switch on the remote control panel) to OFF
,
and correct the fault condition (remove or reduce the load)
,
the switch back to ON

AC outlet ……
..
You can plug your AC loads directly into this outlet
.
Caution: If making a permanent AC connection to the inverter
,
please attend to 110V or 220V AC power is potentially lethal
,
don’t work on AC wiring while the wiring is connected to the inverter (even if it is switched off) unless the DC power source is
physically disconnected from the inverter
.
Also don’t work on AC wiring if it is connected to another AC power source such as a
generator or the utility line

The terminal connector allows you to connect the ends of DC cables
with the inverter

.
And the other ends of DC cables connected with battery

also the red wire
with positive pole (red

Chassis ground lug
....
The inverter has a lug which is to connect the chassis of the inverter
,
therefore
,
the inverter’s AC output ground to you AC
distribution system ground
.
The ground wire in the AC junction box on the output panel of the inverter is connected to the chassis
.
The chassis ground lug must be connected to a grounding point
,
which will very depending on where the inverter is installed
.
In a vehicle
,
connect the chassis
ground lug to the chassis of the vehicle
.
In a boat
,
connect to the boat’s grounding system
.
In a fixed location
,
connect to earth ground by a ground rod
(a metal rod pounded into the earth)
,
or other proper service entrance ground
.
Use a # 12 AWG or larger copper wire (preferably with green/yellow insulation)
to connect the chassis ground lug to the grounding point
.
The neutral (common) conductor of the inverter’s AC output circuit is connected to chassis ground
.
Therefore
,
when the chassis is connected to ground
,
the neutral conductor will also be grounded
.
This conforms to national electrical code requirements that
separately derived AC sources (such as inverters and generators) have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way that the neutral conductor from
the utility line is tied to ground at the AC breaker panel
.
Caution: Don’t operate the 4000W inverter with out connecting it to ground
.
Electrical shock hazard may result

Operating ……
..
Firstly
,
please connect the inverter tightly to your battery or other DC power source by DC cable with terminals
.
Please attend to the polarity
,
connect the positive pole (red
,
+) on the input panel of the inverter to the positive pole (red
,
+)
of the battery or other DC power source and the negative pole (black
,
-) on the input panel of the inverter to the negative pole (black
,
-)
of the battery or other DC power source
.
Caution: Please don’t reverse the polarity
.
If reverse polarity connection (positive to negative)
,
it will blow the fuses in the inverter and may permanently damage the inverter
.
Please don’t use “alligator” clips and always ensure the ON/OFF switch on the output panel of the inverter is switched to the OFF position before
connected the battery or other DC power source
.
Caution: Please don’t operate the inverter directly from a charging source such as an alternator or a solar panel
.
It must be connected to a battery
or a well-regulated and high-current DC power supply to work properly
.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads
.
If you are operating several load from the inverter
,
turn them on separately after the inverter
already turned on
.
This will ensure that the inverter doesn’t have to deliver the starting currents for all the loads at once
.
It is recommended that you earth the inverter to the chassis of your vehicle
,
boat
,
etc
.
or to your earth leakage circuit in a house (or a stake in the ground)
.
This step will avoid and electrical safety hazard
.
