To turn the inverter off, momentarily press “lock” button.
Elite™ 1000W PRO by Wagan Tech® LOAD CONSIDERATIONS When an appliance with a motor starts, it requires a momentary surge of power. This surge of power is the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is known as the “continuous load”. It is important to know the starting loads and the continuous loads of the appliances that are to be powered by the inverter. Appliance power is rated in watts.
Elite™ 1000W PRO by Wagan Tech® User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment DERATING THE BATTERY BANK Most lead-acid batteries have a rating expressed in amp-hours (AH). The most common rating of AH is “at the 20 hour rate”. NOTE: Despite several internet explanations, there is no relationship between cold cranking amps (CCA) and ampere-hours (AH). For example, if a 20 AH battery is discharged at a 1 amp rate, is will take 20 hours to discharge that battery.
Elite™ 1000W PRO by Wagan Tech® 5. Locate the ground lug terminal on the inverter. Connect an insulated 10 gauge copper wire to the terminal. The other end of the ground wire is connected to a “proper” grounding point. Use the shortest practical length of wire. Connect this wire to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat. In a city, the ground wire can connect to a metal cold water pipe that goes underground.
Elite™ 1000W PRO by Wagan Tech® OPERATING ISSUES User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment PROBLEM: Continuous Buzzing Sound – Display Shows Low Voltage (Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.) Reason Solution Although all inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception.
