1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Read and save this owner’s guide for future reference.
This chapter contains important safety and installation instructions for our PDA series digital inverters. Each time, before using the
power inverter, read all instructions and cautionary marking on provided with inverter and all appropriate sections of this guide.
Danger
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water. This inverter is designed for indoor use only.
• Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, has cracks.
• Do not disassemble the inverter. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
• Disconnect both AC and DC power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance, cleaning or working on any circuits
connected to the inverter. See note below.
• Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
• Make sure that all wiring is in good condition and not undersized.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
FIRE AND BURN HAZARD
• Do not cover or obstruct the air intake vent openings and / or install i n a zero-clearance compartment.
• Do not use transformerless battery chargers in conjunction with the inverter due to avemeating.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Do not work in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation.
• Do not install and /or operate in compartments containing flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-protected
equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTES
1. Follow those instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the
vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
2. The inverter contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks.
3. Avoiding locations include any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other
connections between components of the fuel system.
Caution
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER
• Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter when reading gravity, or filling battery.
• Never place the inverter unit directly above batteries, gases from a battery will corrode and damage the inverter.
• Do not place a battery on top of the inverter.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipments.
2. INTRODUCTION
The new PDA series inverter are designed to give you quality power, ease of use, and reliability. These inverters have been upgraded
from our previous PDA series, it is with new design case, improved technology and better workmanship. The PDA series digital
inverter with digital LED, it indicates the voltage and power (V, P) constantly.
Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize you with the main performance features and protection features.
2.1 QUALITY POWER & EASE OF USE
The PDA series inverter have been superior features, rugged durability and ease of use: The unit is compact, light weight, and
easy to install. Loads can be powered directly from inverter’s outlets.
2.2 COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION
Our PDA series inverter are equipped with numerous protection features to guarantee safe and trouble-free operation:
•
LOW BATTERY ALARM:
Alerts you if the battery has been discharged to 10.5V or lower.
•
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN:
Shuts the inverter down automatically if the battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts. This
feature protects the battery from being completely discharged.
•
HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN:
Shuts the inverter down automatically if the input voltage rises to 15.5 volts or higher.
•
OVER LOAD SHUTDOWN:
Shuts the inverter down automatically 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 to above an
unacceptable level.
•
OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT SHUTDOWN:
Shuts the inverter down automatically if a short circuit is detected in the circuitry
connected to the inverter’s output.
•
INPUT REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION:
The fuse shall blow if user connect the battery in wrong polarity.
