FRONT PANEL
All four inverters described in this manual have an ON/OFF rocker switch, two LED
indicators, and multiple AC outlets. Actual locations of these components vary by
model. Multiple AC outlets enable multiple appliances to be operated at one time.
Below is a diagram of a typical front panel.
REAR PANEL
All four inverters described in this manual all have two terminals for connecting
battery cables. One terminal is the Positive (+) terminal [red]; the other is the
Negative (−) terminal [black]. The Positive battery cable should have a Battery
Protection Fuse installed within one foot of the battery connection. The negative
cable can be directly attached to the negative battery terminal. In some cases, a
metal vehicle frame can be used as part of the negative cable to the battery.
High Speed Fan – Keeps the inverter circuitry cool. The fan operates when the
inverter is powered on. To avoid unnecessarily draining of the battery, turn off the
inverter when it is not in use.
ON/OFF Switch – Controls operation of the inverter. The below indicators operate
when the switch is ON.
Green LED – When lit, indicates the inverter is on and operating normally. AC is
present at the outlets.
Red LED – When lit, indicates the inverter has shut down for any of the following
reasons:
1. Low DC battery voltage – less than 10 volts. Preceded by an audible alarm.
Charge the battery as soon as possible.
2. High battery voltage – greater than 15 volts. A rare condition.
3. Over temperature − Shut off the inverter and let it cool before restarting.
4. Overload – reduce the AC appliance load.
Audible Alarm (not shown)
–
when it sounds, it indicates that the battery voltage is
getting low and the inverter is about to shut down. If you can reduce the AC load,
you can temporarily extend operating time. Charge the battery as soon as possible.
