INTRODUCTION
GoWISE Power Pure Sine Wave Inverters provide the convenience of household
type power to run a wide variety of appliances, with low THD <3%. GoWISE
Power Inverters converts 12.5 VDC to 115 VAC household power.
•This unit uses the latest in soft start technology. The output voltage
gradually increases to the normal value from low value after the inverter is
turned on. It can reduce a transient large current attack and help to start
the hard start load. Large power inductive loads, such as electrical motors
or capacitive loads (large power SMPS), adopt soft start.
•LED indicators are used for power input type and service notifiction.
•During normal operation, display and gauges are blue and green.
•This innovative design takes the stress and mystery out of using an inverter
for RV’s, and specialty vehicles.
•Design includes 2x surge capability for demanding loads, convenient outlets
and a USB charging port.
STANDARD FEATURES
• Dual color gauges for AC power output and battery DC input
• 5V/ 2.4A USB power port and convenient outlets
• Compact and lightweight design
• Soft start noise filtered technology with 2x surge capability
• On/Off remote with 15 foot cable included
• Built-in safety with overload, over temperature, short circuit and reverse
polarity protection. Audible alarm and shut down for low and high DC
voltage, overload and over temperature conditions.

INTRODUCTION
GoWISE Power Pure Sine Wave Inverters are protected by a variety of features
including:
Reverse Polarity Protection
The fuses will burn out when the positive and negative cables are reverse
connected to protect the inverter.
Low Battery Shutdown
When the inverter is in low voltage, an alarm will go off first and if the voltage
continues to reduce, the LED will turn red and the inverter will shut down. If the
voltage rises to 12V +/- 0.5V, the inverter will automatically restart and the LED
will turn from blue to green.
Over Temperature Protection
The inverter will automatically protects itself when it reaches a high
temperature. An alarm will go off first then the LED will be red. The inverter will
shut down and auto-restart.
Overload Protection
The inverter will automatcially protect itself when the load is too high. An alarm
will go off first then the LED will be red. The inverter will automatically shut
down. The inverter will need to be restarted manually.
Over Voltage Protection
The inverter will automatically protect itself when it is in high voltage. The LED
will be red and the inverter will automatically shut down. When the voltage
drops to 15.5V +/- 0.5V, the inverter will auto restart.
Output Short Circuit Protection
The inverter will automatically self protect the unit by shutting down in the event
of a short circuit. It will auto restart after shutting down when the short circuit is
removed.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
•This device is not ignition protected, risk of fire or explosion.
•This equipment contains components that could produce arcs or sparks.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO NOT install this equipment in
compartments containing batteries, flammable materials or fumes, or in a
location containing gasoline-powered machinery, or joints, fittings, or other
connections between components of the fuel system.
•DO NOT mount the inverter above or below your batteries.
•Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
We recommends all wiring be done by qualified personnel. Disconnect
all AC and DC power sources to prevent accidental shock. Disable and
secure all AC and DC disconnect devices and automatic generator starting
devices. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all the
applicable installation codes and regulations
•Installation Precaution
The power inverter should be mounted on a flat horizontal surface or a
vertical surface. In no case should the front or rear end caps be facing in an
upward or downward position. This allows proper ventilation and product
safety of the unit as intended by design.
•Fire Hazard
DO NOT cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. DO NOT install this
equipment in a compartment with limited airflow. Overheating may result.
•Risk of fire or explosion.
•Low voltage - electrical burn and spark hazard.
•Disconnect battery power before servicing.
NOTE: This unit requires a large amperage draw from a DC battery when
in inverter mode. Care must be taken during installation to provide properly
sized cables from the battery to the inverter. Cable runs must be as short
as possible and of the appropriate size and type. See the Installation
section for more details.

INVERTER UNIT LOCATION
NOTE: Please re-read the PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS section of this
manual (pg. 8-9) prior to installation. This unit must be located in a cool, dry,
well ventilated area, free from unsecured hardware. Temperature is also a
serious consideration. DO NOT mount this unit in an engine compartment or
areas where temperatures will exceed 104°F (40°C).
In addition, the following should be considered when choosing a location:
1.1. Locate inverter unit away from battery in a separate, well ventilated
compartment.
2.2. Placement of the remote status panel - A length of communications cable
is provided for remote-location of the status/on/off panel. Ensure the cable
is long enough to reach the desired location (generally in proximity to the
main panel board) and avoid any area where it can be damaged.
3.3. Ventilation - Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space at the DC end of the
inverter for air flow, 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side, and 3 inches (7.5cm) at the
AC end of the inverter. For cooling, the size of the space is not as important
as the overall supply of air. The more clearance for ventilation around the
unit, the better the performance. DO NOT allow the ventilation openings on
the ends of the unit to become obstructed.
4.4. Cable Routing - Large DC cables and over current protection (fuses/
circuit breakers) will be located in proximity to this unit. Choose a location
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the DC battery bank serving the unit. This will
provide optimum performance for the unit and keep cable sizes smaller.
Location of the AC power is less critical than the DC supply.
MOUNTING - The weight of the inverter is very heavy. Be sure to place the
inverter on a stable surface such as the floor, a table, or stand. Make sure
the areas you place the inverter on can withstand the weight of the inverter.
In addition, be sure to affix the product with the provided screws to keep the
inverter from falling or moving.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION GUIDE
STOP: BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR INVERTER, READ AND FOLLOW THE
CHECKLIST BELOW:
•Begin with the power switch and main shore/station power breaker in the
OFF position. Ensure that all over current protection (e.g. fuses and/or
circuit breakers) are ready for use, not blown or tripped.
•Use great care to ensure the polarity of the DC connections are correct or
damage will result to your inverter.
•Verify all connections are tight, corrosion free and of good integrity.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT THE EARTH CONNECTION
ATTACHED.
The earth conductor is permitted to be 1 common size smaller than the DC
positive (+) conductor (Example: DC += 2 AWG, Earth = 4 AWG).
12 Volt DC Battery Source - Batteries can be a single battery or multiple
batteries in parallel. Batteries connected in parallel boost amp hours while
maintaining voltage. Tapping each battery as shown balances the load of the
battery.
Parallel batteries illustrated:
DO NOT connect the following in parallel:
•Batteries made by different manufacturers
•Different types of batteries
•Batteries that have different Ah ratings
Decreased battery life and improper charging will result.
CAUTION!
Parallel Batteries (12V) for a 12V Bank
(Increases the Amp/Hr Capacity)

1. DC Cables - The DC portion of the power Inverter requires a large amount
of amperage in Inverter mode. Cable size and length is of extreme
importance and should be well thought out and planned per this manual
before beginning installation. Items to consider are as follows:
a. Cable Size - Size is based on amperage draw of the unit compared to the
maximum amperage a cable can carry. We recommend NO MORE THAN
a 10% drop in voltage from source (battery) to the GoWISE Power unit or a
cable run not longer than 6 feet.
Recommended cable sizes:
Wattage Cable Size Cable Length ANL
Fuse
600W 6# pure copper 6 ft. 150A
1000W 4# pure copper 6 ft. 150A
1500W 2# pure copper 6 ft. 250A
2000W 0# pure copper 6 ft. 300A
3000W 2/0# pure copper 6 ft. 500A
b. Installing DC Safety ANL Fuse: Install fuse in positive (+) cable within 7” of
battery. See above table for recommended fuse.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CABLE TERMINATION BY MEANS OTHER THAN
PROPER CRIMPING, WITH A PROPERLY CALIBRATED TOOL. SOLDER AND
AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR TYPE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
USE OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF TERMINATIONS WILL RESULT IN
PREMATURE, UNWARRANTIED FAILURE OF THE GOWISE POWER UNIT.
2. AC Cables – AC Cables should be readily available in both 2 and 3
conductor. Size is based on the maximum amperage to be passed through
the cable and unlike DC does not take into account the length of the cable
run and voltage drop.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION MATERIALS – CABLING
Use great care to ensure the polarity of the DC connections are correct
or damage will result to your inverter.

OPERATION
Inverter Power On and Off
The AC output can be turned on or off by pressing the POWER button on the
display panel. With the remote feature, the inverter can be turned on or off
remotely as well.
Operating the Inverter within the Load Range
Load Type Precautions
•Resistive Loads – Be careful with resistive loads that generate heat
(toasters, electric stoves, etc.). Due to the high current drawn by these
loads, a typical battery bank would be drained very quickly. Therefore,
it would impractical to run the inverter with these types of loads for an
extended period of time.
•Motor Loads – Use caution with the type of motor that you connect the
inverter. Induction motors require a much higher startup current than their
running current. Since motors vary in their characteristics, it is best to test
the motor load on the inverter. If the motor does not start or loses power,
the inverter should be turned off and the motor removed. If the motor
startup current is too high, the inverter will turn itself off.
NOTE: Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at their own expense. If in a residential setting you are
encountering interference with TV and Radio reception while NOT in inverter
mode, then simply disconnect AC power from the power Inverter to confirm
if this unit is causing the interference, if so explore the following options to
minimize interference:
1.1. Make sure your AC connections include a proper ground connection
2.2. Reposition your receiving antenna
3.3. Purchase a separate AC line filter
4.4. Relocate the affected appliance so it is further separated from the power
inverter
CAUTION: Check the power consumption of the unit to make sure that
appliance is within the power range of the inverter to ensure that you DO NOT
overload the inverter. Overloading the inverter will void the warranty.
This equipment has been designed to comply with:
•FCC Class A
•Underwriters Laboratories: Standard 458 Power Converter/Inverter
Systems for Land Vehicles and Marine Crafts

MAINTENANCE
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
INVERTER MAINTENANCE
Periodically, check the batteries to make sure they are good condition. Check
the terminals for corrosion and clean them with a wire brush if necessary. If
the batteries are flooded lead-acid, check the electrolyte levels every month
and top off with distilled water if needed. Finally, check the battery voltage in
accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
Little maintenance is needed to keep the power inverter running properly. To
keep the unit running optimally, you should:
•Wipe the unit’s exterior with a damp cloth to clean off dust buildup.
•Check that the DC cables are securely connected and the fasteners are tight.
•Clear the ventilation holes of dust buildup.
