• Use the correct insulated tools to make AC/DC
wiring connections.
•
Do not install this inverter on or near flammable
materials (plywood, chemicals, gas line etc.)
CAUTION:
Personal Precautions:
• Someone should be within the range of your
voice to come to your aid when you work near
batteries.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby
in the event that battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes.
• Wear complete eye, skin and clothing
protection.
• Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries. Wash your hands when done.
• If battery acid comes in contact with skin or
clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water.
Knowing Your Inverter
In its most basic form, an Inverter transforms Direct
Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). The battery
pack acts as reserve power to ensure continuous
supply of power whenever electrical supply from utility
power is not available. The inverter is used to charge
the batteries when normal utility power is available
and converts the battery’s DC to AC voltage to run the
pump when utility power is lost.
Battery Safety
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of batteries in a
fire. The battery may explode.
CAUTION:
A battery can present a risk of
severe burn and injury from high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed
when working on batteries.
CAUTION:
Do not open or mutilate the
battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION:
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric
acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is
electrically conductive and corrosive. The following
procedures should be observed:
a.
If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately.
b.
If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush
thoroughly and immediately with water.
Seek medical attention.
c. Spilled electrolyte should be washed down
with a suitable acid neutralizing agent. A
common practice is to use a solution of
approximately one pound (500 grams)
bicarbonate of soda to approximately one
gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate
of soda solution should be added until the
evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased.
The resulting liquid should be flushed with
water and the area dried.
CAUTION:
Do not reverse the battery
connections, as it will blow the battery fuse. A
power cord has been provided to connect the inverter
to incoming AC wall outlet.
Battery Requirements
Your Unit operates on 24 volt DC battery power
when in the power fail mode. Two UL recognized
deep cycle marine batteries should be used. There
are two principal types of batteries: starting and deep
cycle. There are several different types of battery
constitutions including liquid lead acid, nickel iron,
nickel cadmium, alkaline and maintenance free.
Batteries are sealed or vented.
NOTE: All batteries must be the same make, model,
and age for the inverter to function properly.
Starting Batteries (NOT RECOMMENDED)
Starting batteries are designed for high cranking
power but not deep cycling.
DO NOT
use them with
your inverter. They do not affect the inverter, but they
will simply not last long in a deep cycle application.
They use a lot of thin plates to maximize the surface
area of the battery. This allows very high starting
current but less run time when the battery is cycled.
