User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment

14. When you have conﬁrmed that the appliance to be operated is turned off, plug the appli-

ance into one of the two AC outlets on the front panel of the inverter.

15. Turn the inverter on.

16. Check operation of the Remote Switch – Press “Lock” to turn Off

the inverter.

17. Press the Unlock button to turn On the inverter.

18. Turn the appliance on. The appliance should begin working.

19. Observe the LED indicators and the Digital Display for Normal operation.

Note: If an extension cord is used from the inverter to the appliance, limit the extension cord

length to 100 feet or less. Make sure that the cord is safety approved and AWG 14 or greater to

carry the appliance load. Remember that extension cords are for temporary use.

CHARGING THE BATTERY BANK

It is not the purpose of this inverter user’s guide to provide detailed information regarding battery

charging systems. However, the user should try to augment any stationary inverter charging

system with either wind power or solar power. These can continue to operate during power out-

ages and they also reduce recharge time. For mobile or marine charging systems, a higher rated

alternator may be necessary to charge a battery bank.

Regular Loss of Commercial Power

If the inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occur daily, conﬁgure the

charger system to replace energy during the time that commercial power is available.

Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken from the battery (typically

30 percent more). Follow battery manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum charging cur-

rent.

⚠ WARNING:

There is danger of explosion. DO NOT connect or disconnect charger cables di-

rectly after battery discharge or recharge–make sure that the battery bank area

is well vented before attaching or removing cables.

If the ﬂooded lead acid batteries are used, be sure that periodic checks of battery electrolyte

levels are accomplished. Follow battery manufacturer’s instructions in keeping the electrolytes at

the proper level. Be sure to use pure distilled water when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.

OPERATING ISSUES

(Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.)

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.
