3. Set the power switch to the on position. Check the meters and indicators on the front panel

of the inverter. The voltage bar graph should indicate 11 to 14 volts depending on the voltage

of the power source. If it does not, check your power source and the connections to inverter.

The other indicators should be off.

4. Set power inverter switch to the OFF position, the indicator lights may blink and the

internal alarm may sound momentarily. This is normal. Plug the test load into the AC

receptacle on the front panel of the inverter. Leave the test load switch off.

5. Set power inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test load on, the inverter should

supply power to the load. If you plan to measure the true output R.M.S. voltage of inverter, a

meter such as FLUKE 87A, BACKMAN 4410 or TRIPLETT 4200 must be used.

INSTALLATION

1. Where to install

The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

Dry - Do not allow water to drip or splash onto the inverter.

Cool - Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, the cooler the better when

operating in this range

Ventilation - Allow at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Ensure the

ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not obstructed.

Safety - Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries or in any compartment

capable of storing flammable liquids such as gasoline.

2. Cables

DC to AC inverters require high amperage/low voltage DC power to low amperage/high voltage AC

power. To operate properly, connect inverter DC input terminals direct to battery with heaviest wire

available see below:

12 Volt Model: 2x set of 4/0 AWG (2 red + 2 black) and quantity 2- ANL500KIT-500 Amp fuse kits for

positive (red) cables

Battery Cables Installation

When connecting the AC inverter to the battery terminals, it is important to connect the "+" wire to the

"+" terminal and the wire to the "-" wire to the "-" terminal. Do NOT reverse the polarity. It will void the

warranty. Make sure you connect negative to negative and positive to positive.
