automotive battery cable according to the following table.

It is also recommended that a heavy duty battery switch with

a current rating higher than the fuse (or combined fuses) be

fitted in the DC positive (+) line close to the battery to allow

the supply to the inverter to be switched off, this can also be

achieved by using a circuit breaker which has a trip facility.

Positive and negative cables should be run close together to

reduce cable inductance, and be protected from damage by

corrugated conduit.

GROUND CONNECTION

The chassis ground lug must be connected to a grounding

point. In a vehicle, connect the chassis ground lug to the

vehicle's chassis. In a boat connect to the grounding system

of the boat. In a fixed location connect to the ground.

OPERATING TIPS

Most

electrical

tools,

equipment have a label indicating power consumption in

amps or watts. Add up the power consumption in those items

you will be using simultaneously, keeping total below the

8ZED Inverter size. If the power consumption is rated in

amps, multiply by the AC volts (220/230/240) to determine

the wattage. For example, a television rated at 0.9 amps will

use approx 99 watts. For more information regarding the

typical wattage draws of many appliances, refer to 8zed.com.

audio/video

Resistive loads, such as incandescent lights, are the easiest

for the inverter to drive, though larger resistive loads, such as

electric stoves or heaters, require more power. Please make

sure you choose the right 8ZED Inverter to suit the

8ZED

application you need in order to power the appliance

3000W

continuously. Inductive loads, such as TV's and stereos (any

device with a coil or a transformer in it) require more current

AWG

to operate than a resistive load of the same power rating.

Not

advised

Induction motors (motors without brushes), as well as some

Not

televisions, may require 2 to 6 times their power rating to

advised

start up. This condition may require repeated "ON/OFF,

Not

ON/OFF, ON/OFF" switching of the power switch on your

advised

8ZED Inverter in order to get them started. The most

demanding are those that start under load, i.e. compressors

and pumps. Since motor and television characteristics vary

widely, only experimentation will determine if a specific load

8ZED

can be started and how long it can be run.

1200W

There are no standards for "surge power" partly because it

110 AMP

can not be simply represented by a single sample number.

Though our 8ZED Inverters can provide power up to 6000W

8ZED

(depending on the unit you purchase) for a short period,

3000W

experimentation is the only method of determining whether it

can handle the surges generated by a particular load.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 8ZED 120W to 1200W

Inverters won't operate most appliances designed to produce

heat such as hair dryers, coffee makers, irons, heaters and

toasters. The current use of most of these exceeds 1200 watts,

far beyond the capacity of the units listed above. The inverter

may be used either while the engine is running or turned off.

However, the inverter may not operate while the engine is

starting, since the battery voltage can drop substantially

during engine cranking. The 8ZED Inverter draws less than

1.3 ampere from the battery when it is not supplying power

to the load. In most cases, the 8ZED Inverter may be left

connected to the battery when it is not in use, since it draws

so little current. If the vehicle will not be used for several

days, disconnect the 8ZED Inverter from the battery.

CONNECTING APPLIANCE &

RUNNING INVERTER

•

Connect the appliance AC plug to the inverter AC

outlet socket.

•

Switch the inverter "ON", the Green power light will

illuminate to indicate operation.

•

Turn the appliance "ON", if the appliance is fitted with

an "On/Off" switch always switch the inverter on

before switching the appliance on and always turn the

appliance off before switching the inverter off.

•

When not in use turn the inverter off.

LOW BATTERY ALARM

An alarm will sound when the voltage of the battery drops

to 10.5 volts. This indicates that the battery requires

recharging. The user should stop operations at this time,

since the 8ZED Inverter will shut down automatically when

battery voltage drops to 10.0 volts.
