INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Elite
™
1000W Pro, Wagan’s Pure Sine Wave DC to AC Power
Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial power. Use this inverter to
power AC appliances in your vehicle, at a campsite, or at home as an emergency source of AC
power. Pure Sine Wave AC means that your sensitive electronics such as audio/video systems,
computers, and communications equipment will operate properly. This inverter is powered from
24 volts DC and it will continuously deliver 1,000 Watts AC power at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.
For your convenience, this inverter is supplied with a wireless remote control and a set of cables.
The installer must install a fuse and fuse holder for battery protection. See Configuring Battery
Bank section.
This Wagan Elite
™
1000W Pro Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable addition to your
compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and proper treatment it will provide
years of reliable service. Please read and understand this manual before installing and operating
this inverter. Keep this manual for future use.
ABOUT THIS INVERTER
This power inverter converts 24 volts, direct current (24V DC) to 120 volts alternating household
current (120V AC). It easily powers TV/VCR combinations, small microwave ovens and refrigera-
tors. It also operates at high efficiency (up to 90%) that results in long running time and extended
battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.
This inverter has the highest surge capability in its class. Superior surge capability of 2,000
watts allows the inverter to start most difficult motorized appliances. Advanced microprocessor-
controlled circuits run cooler and are more reliable than competing units.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
• Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible materials.
• Keep well ventilated–this device generates heat.
• Keep the inverter away from combustible gases.
• Do not continuously operate any equipment over 1,000 watts.
• This inverter is designed to operate from a 24 volt DC power source only.
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source,
including any AC power source.
• Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.
• Keep this inverter in a dry environment.
• Do not open the inverter; there are no user serviceable parts inside.
⚠ SAFETY WARNING!
The inverter output can be lethal. Improper use of this inverter may result in
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
