Important Safety Instructions Please save these instructions. This manual contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions for the inverter. The following symbols are used throughout the manual: WARNING CAUTION NOTE Indicates a potentially dangerous condition. Use extreme caution when performing this task. Indicates a critical procedure for safe and proper operation of the inverter. Indicates a procedure or function that is important to the safe and proper operation of the inverter.
Battery Safety Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other. Use Sealed Lead Acid, AGM, Flooded, Gel, or Lithium batteries which must be deep cycle. Explosive battery gases may be present while charging. Be certain there is enough ventilation to release the gases. Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.

General Information Product Description The Renogy PGH1 inverter transforms the DC power stored in batteries into standard household AC power for consumer electronic needs. It features an ECO power-saving mode in order to conserve your system's energy and even has a switch to change the frequency between 50Hz/60hz. As a pure sine wave inverter, it is capable of producing cleaner, smoother, quieter, and more reliable electricity to operate fans, lights, and other electronics without interference.

Installation WARNING Make sure inverter is in the off position before connecting anything. CAUTION Do not over tighten the terminals. This could potentially damage the unit. Location Recommendations WARNING Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion. Ensure installation follows the following guidelines: 1. Cool, dry, well-ventilated area — Heat is the worst enemy for electronic equipment.
Sizing your Battery Bank Battery types and capacity relate to overall inverter performance. To size a battery bank, you need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate (hours/day) you will be using the load. The inverter is only compatible with 12V battery banks and oversizing should be considered due to efficiency losses. 1.
Wiring Grounding CAUTION WARNING Do not over-tighten the M4 Ground Screw. The recommended torque is 1.5~2.0N-m / 13~18.2 lbf-in At no point should the chassis ground and the neutral conductor of the inverter be bonded. Bonding the chassis ground and the neutral conductor of the inverter or connecting the inverter to household or recreational AC distribution wiring will damage the unit and void the warranty.
Make sure your battery bank is rated for 12V. Batteries that are 6V may be put in series to create a 12V battery bank. 12V batteries may be connected in parallel prior to connecting to the inverter DC terminals. When joining batteries together, they must be the same chemistry, voltage, and are also recommended to be the same level prior to combining.

2.Remove Cap, then unscrew inverter terminals and connect battery connections. Then tighten.
AC Wiring WARNING NOTE All AC Wiring should be approved by an electrician for RV or Marine applications. Do not connect the AC Output to a power source like a generator/shore power. Irreversible damage may occur. Do not over-tighten the screws in the AC Terminal Cover or Terminal Block. The recommended torque for the M3 terminal cover screws is .64 ~ 1.0N-m / 5.7 ~ 9.1 lbf-in The recommended torque for the M4 terminal block is Max 0.98N-m / 8.
Fusing The following are recommended fuse minimums: Model Fuse Minimum AWG Minimum 1000W 100A 4 AWG 2000W 200A 2 AWG 3000W 300A 4/0 16
Operation Assuming proper connection, the inverter is now ready for use. To operate using the AC Outlets: AC Side Operation 1.Connect electronic devices to electrical socket(s) on inverter. Flip inverter power to ON position (on AC side) 2. When finished, switch AC devices off FIRST, then turn off inverter switch 3. Turn the device’s power switch on to begin normal use 4.
Wired Remote CAUTION The wired remote will only operate when REM mode is pressed on the inverter. The wired remote control is an alternative way to power on or off your inverter from a distance. To operate: 1.Make sure the push button on the wired remote is not pressed 2.Flip the inverter switch to REM mode 3.Connect the remote wire to the REMOTE port on the inverter model 4.To confirm success, press the power button to power on the inverter via remote. GF ECO 60Hz Nor. AC OUTPUT COMM.
DIP Switches The DIP switches allow you to control the inverter’s ac output frequency or power up in an ECO power saving mode. For DIP switch changes to take effect you must: 1.Shut down the inverter via power button or remote 2.Make the desired dip switch change 3.Power On the inverter via power button or remote 4.DIP Switch changes have taken effect Frequency DIP Switch You can change your AC output frequency between 50Hz or 60Hz depending on your location. By default, the USA uses 60Hz.
Troubleshooting Indicator Potential Issue Troubleshoot The battery is depleting faster than it is being charged. Lower Battery Undervoltage Alarm the inverter load power or disconnect the load to let the Fault LED Lit battery charge up to 12.0V at least. and Alarm Beeps Battery Overvoltage The battery is at a higher than normal voltage, perhaps from being charged. Use a multi-meter to confirm the voltage and Alarm disconnect any chargers.
