A. ON/OFF Switch. The current flowing from the power source to the inverter is controlled by
this switch. It does not control the current flowing from the inverter to the appliance.
B. Overload LED Indicator Light. If the continuous power draw of the appliance(s) being
operated exceeds 2000 watts, this light will turn Red and the inverter will automatically
Power off. When this occurs turn off the inverter and determine the cause of the overload
before turning the inverter and the appliance back on.
C. Two standard North American 110V AC Outlets
D. High-Speed Cooling Fans. When the temperature inside the inverter exceeds the limits of
safe operation the Cooling Fan automatically turns on to cool the inverter. When the
temperature has lowered to a safe operating mode, the fan will shut off. The fan is not
designed to run continuously.
E. Negative Power Input Terminal
F. Positive Power Input Terminal.
G. Ground Connection
H. Display reading selection switch
J Battery voltage and inverter output wattage digital meters.
WATT Reading: When switch is on the "watt" position. The digital number displays the
"watt" reading.
VOLT Reading: When switch is on the "volt" position. The digital number displays input
"voltage" reading. These readings are the result of measuring the voltage in both the
positive and negative input terminals on the inverter. In a high voltage draw the display will
show a low voltage level due to the drop in volts that occurs between the positive and
negative input cables
Selecting A Power Supply.
When you operate the inverter for long periods of time combined with a high continuous load
demand, the result will be a large power drain from the battery. With this in mind, check the
reserve capacity of the battery you plan to use to power your inverter.
To calculate the approximate power drain on your battery you will want to estimate the reserve
power ("amp/hour") of the battery and the amps the inverter will require, to meet the
continuous load demand of the appliance.
