2 USER GUIDE The Redarc pure sine wave power inverter series is one of the most advanced mobile AC power systems available. For ideal operation of the power inverter, it must be installed and used properly. Please read this instruction manual before you install and operate your inverter. 2.1 Front Panel Operation 2.1.1 Front Panel View Power Status 350W Frequency AC Output On/Off/Rem. 700W Switch Input Level Load Level Status 1000W 1500W Frequency Power Saving AC Output On/Off/Rem.
2 USER GUIDE 2.1.2 On/Off/Remote Switch (700W - 3000W) This switch acts as an On - Off switch and can also set the unit to remote mode allowing the On - Off functionality to be performed by either the CR-6 or CR-8 remote control. Usage: a. Before installing the inverter, you need to ensure the main switch is set to “OFF”. b. Before using the remote unit, you need to ensure the main switch is set to “REMOTE”. 2.1.
2 USER GUIDE 2.1.5 Status LED Display (All Models) The Status LED will display Power and Fault Status for the inverter using this sequence of flashes and colours on the LED. GREEN LED Solid LED Signal Status Power OK Power Saving** Slow Blink RED LED Fast Blink LED Signal Status OVP* UVP* OTP* OLP* Slow Blink Intermittent Blink Solid *Note: Refer to Troubleshooting (Section 4) for details on status indication. **Note: Power Saving Mode not available for 350W model. 2.1.
2 USER GUIDE 2.1.7 AC Frequency Setting (All Models) This switch will set the output AC Frequency to either 50Hz or 60Hz. For 700W to 3000W models S4 on the DIP switch is the AC Frequency setting. 2.2 Frequency Switch 50Hz 60Hz Off On Rear Panel Operations 2.2.1 Rear Panel View On/Off/Rem.
2 USER GUIDE 2.2.2 On/Off/Remote Switch (350W Only) This switch acts as an On - Off switch and can also set the unit to remote mode allowing the On - Off functionality to be performed by an external switch. Usage: a. Before installing the inverter, you need to ensure the main switch is set to “OFF”. b. Before using the remote unit, you need to ensure the main switch is set to “REMOTE”. Remote Switch Examples ENB ON: Inverter On GND OFF: Inverter Off ENB HIGH: Inverter On GND LOW: Inverter Off 2.
2 USER GUIDE 2.2.5 DC Input Terminal (All Models) • • • Connect DC input terminal to 12V / 24V battery or the other power sources. POS(+) represents positive, and NEG(-) represents negative. The Inverter is protected against reverse polarity connection using an internal fuse. DC Input Voltage Model Minimum 10.5 21.0 12V 24V Maximum 15.0 30.0 2.2.6 Chassis Ground The Chassis Ground terminal should be connected to the vehicle Chassis using 7.5mm² cable as a minimum.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Mounting The power inverter should be installed in an environment that meets the following requirements: 1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter. 2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, the cooler the better. 3. Safe – Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where volatile fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments. 4.
3 INSTALLATION 3.2.1 DC Cable Size The tables below give the recommended cable/conductor cross-sectional area (mm²), and recommended B & S size for a required current across a particular distance. In this case the distance is between the battery and the inverter. It is recommended to choose a cable size close to but larger than required.

3 INSTALLATION 3.4 DC Cable Connection (700W - 3000W) 3.4.1 700W - 1500W DC Connection method M8 Screw PVC Wire Ring Terminal 3.4.
3 INSTALLATION 3.5 AC Safety Grounding Residual Current Devices (RCD) Certain installation codes and/or government regulations require the installation of a RCD. Redarc has tested a number of commercially available RCDs and found that they functioned properly when connected to the output of the Inverter. NOTE: The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads (for example, a distribution panel ground bus). 3.
