inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents 
are not blocked.

If an  inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may 
excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem.

Observe the Digital Display for low battery voltage. Normal operating 
range is 10.5V to 15V DC.

•  Digital Display 

The Digital Display Shows the DC Voltage input that the inverter senses 
at its terminals. Low battery, excessive load for the cables can cause 
a low voltage reading and inverter shutdown. Low battery is also 
indicated when the Audible Alarm sounds. An alternative display shows 
the “Percent of Load that the inverter can handle”. If the inverter has 
excessive load “OVL” will be displayed.

•  AC Outlets

Each of the four outlets is rated at 15 Amps 120V AC maximum (1800 
Watts). Use High Output Terminals for appliance loads greater than 15 
Amps or for distributed wiring.

•  High Wattage Output Terminals 

There are three insulated terminals on the front panel of the inverter. 
These terminals are for connecting 120 Volt AC devices that require 
more than 15 amps to operate or for connection to distribution wiring 
with multiple branches and AC outlets. Any AC output wiring that is di-
rectly connected must comply with US National Electric Code (NEC) wir-
ing gauge recommendations. Facing the Front Panel, the terminals are:

Neutral and Ground are bonded (connected) inside the inverter to 
comply with the NEC requirement that any AC source must have a 
Neutral to Ground connection.

•  Ground Terminal

The Ground Terminal is located on the Front Panel. This terminal is for 
attaching a 6 gauge insulated safety ground wire. This safety wire 
protects personnel if there is an unlikely failure in either the cabling or 
enclosure insulation. Do not directly connect this ground to any Negative 
DC inverter terminal. This safety wire is to be connected to the vehicle 
frame or earth ground or negative battery terminal as described in the 
installation procedure. 

•  Audible Alarm (internal to the inverter)

When the audible Alarm makes a buzzing sound, the inverter senses a 
low battery condition. The user should reduce the AC load, charge the 
battery, and check the DC cables for excessive losses.
