Introduction
All electrical appliances are rated by the amount of power they
consume. The rating is printed on the product’s nameplate label,
usually located on its chassis near the AC power cord. Even though
it is dif
fi
cult to calculate exactly how long an inverter will run a
particular appliance, the best advice is trial and error. Your MMS
Series inverter/charger has a built-in safeguard that automatically
protects your batteries from being over-discharged.

Standard Features and Benefi ts
The MMS Series inverter/charger
converts 12 volts of direct current
(VDC) power from your battery to 120 volts alternating current (VAC)
power.
The multi-stage battery charger optimizes incoming AC power
using Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology to keep the inverter’s
battery bank fully charged. This inverter is designed to allow easy
installation and use, and with its die-cast aluminum baseplate it
ensures maximum durability and cooler, more ef
fi
cient operation.
The inverter/charger provides the following:
• 1000 watts continuous at 25°C (77°F).
• Numerous protection features to provide a safe and peace-of-
mind operation.
• AC transfer switch circuitry; allowing incoming AC power to
continue to pass-thru to power loads even if the inverter is off.
• Dead battery charging for batteries that are extremely low.
• Automatic 4-stage battery charger with power factor correction
and temperature compensation—for optimum battery charging
(using the temperature sensor).
• Modern and aesthetically pleasing design with a large AC wiring
compartment (provides easy access to AC wiring for simple and
quick connections) and 360° DC connection terminals with color
coded insulating covers.
• True RMS output voltage regulation to ensure the inverter will
deliver the correct amount of power—within the DC input voltage
range and the continuous output power level.
• Quick connection accessory and remote ports—easily accepts
several optional remote controls and the battery temperature
sensor.
