activates when excessive temperatures are detected. The inverter may overheat if installed in a location that
does not allow proper ventilation and does not allow dissipation of heat. Over heating may also occur when
powering an appliance that exceeds the wattage ratings of the inverter. Under normal operating conditions
the Over Temperature LED and the Cooling Fan will turn off after fifteen minutes. Automatically, the inverter
will restart indicating that the inverter has reached a safe operating temperature.
Over Load
If the continuous power draw of the appliance(s) being operated exceeds 5000 Watts this light will turn RED
and the inverter will shut down. When this occurs turn off the inverter and the appliance then determine the
cause of the overload before turning the inverter and the appliance on again on again.
C. Battery Voltage and Inverter Output Wattage Bar Graph (Green Yellow and Red)
Wattage Indicator
The output wattage of the inverter is monitored by this illuminated display. Depending upon the amount of
output wattage, the bar graph reading generally will be in GREEN (safe) or YELLOW (caution). If the level
reaches RED (overload) the inverter may automatically shut down.
Volts Indicator
The voltage being drawn from the battery by the inverter is monitored by this illuminated display. Under
optimum conditions this reading will be in GREEN. A low voltage draw will show a reading that is close to the
actual voltage of the battery. These readings are the result of measuring the voltage in both the positive and
the negative input cables. This inverter will operate with input voltage ranging from 10 to 15 volts DC. If the
voltage level falls below 10 volts DC, the voltage indicator will register in RED and an audible alarm will
sound. The inverter will automatically shut down and the voltage indicator display will turn off.
The 5000 Watt Power Inverter may be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 15 volts. The inverter will
automatically shut down if this occurs, however despite this safety feature excessive voltage may cause
damage to the inverter. Damage caused by excess voltage input is not covered under warranty.
When turning the inverter ON the voltage bar graph should show between 10 and 15 volts depending on the
voltage of the power source. When the voltage reading does not fall within this range, check the connection
of the wires to terminals on the power source and on the inverter. Also check the voltage of the power source.
Finally, ensure the Over Temperature and Over Load LED Indicator is not lit.
D. Four Standard North American 110V AC Outlets
E. High Speed Cooling Fan
When the temperature inside the inverter exceeds limits of safe operation the fan will automatically turn on to
cool the inverter. When the temperature has lowered to a safe operating temperature the fans will shut off
automatically. The fan is not designed to run continuously.
F. Ground Terminal
G. Positive Power Input Terminal
H. Negative Power Input terminal
I. Wireless Remote Control Accessory Socket
The 5000 Watt Power Inverter may be controlled by remote control. The remote control receiver must be
plugged into the Remote Control Accessory Socket
Notice
While using the wireless remote control please remember to switch both the receiver and the inverter to the
OFF position.
In the event the remote control is lost, and you are unable to turn the inverter off, disconnect the remote
control receiver from the Wireless Remote Control Accessory Socket and turn the inverter off on the front panel.
Selecting a Power Supply
When you operate the 5000 Watt Power Inverter for long periods of time combined with a high continuous load
demand the result will be a large power drain from the battery. With this in mind, check the reserve capacity of
your battery. In most case several batteries will be required to provide power to your inverter.
1.
When calculating the amp/hour rating find the “reserve minute”. This is typically marked on the battery
next to the Cranking Amps rating. If you multiply the reserve minutes by 0.3 you will have the battery
Amp/Hour rating.
A battery with 150 reserve minutes has an Amp/Hour rating of 45.
2.
To estimate the maximum power the inverter will require to run a piece of equipment or appliance
divide the continuous load requirement by 10. An appliance with a 450 Watt continuous load will require a
minimum 45 amp draw from a battery.
3.
A 45 Amp/hour battery (150 Reserve Minutes) will be sufficient to power this appliance for a maximum
of one hour.
Note
•
The type of battery you use to power your inverter is important. Batteries designed to start engines have
multiple layers of very thin plates. These provide extensive surface area that will provide a powerful
