Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech ™ Introduction User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment General Instructions: Thank you for purchasing this Wagan 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.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech ™ User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment Product Features Front Panel Front Panel The Front Panel view shows the inverters ON/OFF Switch, Indicators, AC Outlets, and Ground Terminal. • ON/OFF Switch This switch controls AC output of the inverter. • The FAULT indicator turns RED 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.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech ™ User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment Rear Panel Retractable Antenna ON switch OFF switch Sliding Cap Negative Terminal (black) Positive Terminal (red) Cooling Fans Load Considerations Retracted Antenna Extended Antenna 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.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment ™ Startup load is momentary. With many appliances, it is approximately twice the continuous load, but some appliance startup loads can be as high as eight times the continuous load. To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. This inverter will automatically shut down in the event of an output overload, so there is no danger of damaging either the inverter or the equipment.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment ™ Derating the Battery Bank Battery Bank Diagram Most lead-acid batteries have a rating expressed in amp-hours (AH). The most common rating of AH is “at the 20 hour rate”. The diagram below shows inverter connections to a battery bank with recommended fuse protection. NOTE: Despite several internet explanations, there is no relationship between cold cranking amps (CCA) and ampere-hours (AH).
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment ™ If the inverter and the battery are positioned within 4 feet of each other, a minimum of 4 AWG insulated copper wire should be used to make the connections. If the distance is longer than 32 inches (2.6 ft), heavier wire will be required. 7. CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable end and the inverter’s positive terminal may cause a spark.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment ™ 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 outages and they also reduce recharge time.
Elite 2000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment ™ PROBLEM: Inverter Shut Down – Fault LED Lit – OVL Display Specifications* Reason Solution • Output Waveform: True Sine Waveform Equipment being operated draws too much power. Use a higher capacity inverter or do not use this equipment.
