PRODUCT FEATURES
Front Panel
The Front Panel view shows the inverters ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC Outlets,
USB Power Port, and Ground Terminal.
• ON/OFF Switch: This switch controls AC output of the inverter.
• Operating LED (green): When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating
normally.
• FAULT indicator (red): This red LED will light up as the inverter shuts down
because of: excessive temperature, overload, under-voltage, or over-voltage.
» Immediately turn off all AC appliances if the FAULT LED is lit. Allow the
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 11V to 15V DC.
• Digital Display: The digital display alternates between input voltage and output
power (kilowatts). The DC input voltage displayed is what the inverter senses
at its terminals. Low battery and excessive load for the cables can cause a low
voltage reading and inverter shutdown. Low battery is also indicated when the
audible alarm sounds. The wattage displayed for the output power is a rough
estimate of the load being applied to the inverter. A multimeter should be used
for a more accurate reading of the load.
• USB Power Port: This USB Power Port provides 5 Volts DC to charge cell
phones, personal media players, and a host of USB powered appliances. A
user-supplied adapter cord is required to use this USB Power Port.
• 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 cable or excessive
losses.
• Ground Terminal: Grounding the inverter enclosure ensures personnel safety
should a DC cable problem occur. During the installation procedure, the
Ground Terminal is connected either to a vehicle chassis or to the negative DC
terminal of the battery. Do not directly connect this ground connection to the
negative DC terminal of the inverter. Use an insulated 10 gauge wire to make
the ground connection. If the inverter installation is located in fixed location,
the safety wire can be connected to earth’s ground.
