2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning
Before installing and using this inverter, read and follow the safety information below.
2-1 General safety precautions
2-1-1. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, water, bilge or dust.
To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment, this may result in overheating.

condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
2-1-3. This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in
locations that require ignition protected equipment, this includes any space containing gasoline-
powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the
fuel system.
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a KickAss Pure Sine Wave Digital Inverter. This unit converts 12V DC to
240V AC using intelligent electronics, so you can operate and run mains powered devices from a
suitable sized 12V battery. As inverters output hazardous voltages, please ensure all instructions
are read carefully before use.

5. INSTALLATION
The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened against a
bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch.
To avoid voltage drop install inverter as close as possible to the 12V DC power source (Battery).
The inverter can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it
horizontally so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal blocks located on the front panel are
visible and accessible. If the inverter is to be installed in a moving vehicle, we strongly recommend
that the inverter be shock-mounted either on the floor (in a clear, safe area) or on a secure flat
surface.

Follow this procedure to connect the battery cables to the DC input terminals of the inverter. Your
cables should be sufficiently size to avoid voltage drop. We strongly recommend using the included
cables as they are sized to avoid voltage drop. If cables are not an adequate gauge or length this
will decrease the inverters performance such as poor surge capabilities, low input voltage warnings
and shutdowns. Failure to use correct wiring will prompt under voltage protection warning. Ensure
the cables are connected to the inverter correctly on the positive/red cable. Once the main battery
cables are connected to your inverter it is ready for operation.
5.2 Wiring

Warning
Wiring the batteries in parallel increases
the total run time the batteries can operate
the AC loads.
A parallel connection combines overall
battery capacity by the number of batteries
in the string.
In the example shown, four 12
VDC/100AH batteries are combined into a
single 12VDC/400AH battery bank.
The remote digital LCD controller allows you to monitor and control the inverter from a convenient
location. This allows the inverter to be installed closer to the batteries while it can be controlled
from up to 5M away. To install the remote digital LCD controller simply plug in the supplied cable
and run to the remote LCD socket on the inverter. Note when using the remote, the main inverter
switch must be in the remote position and when using the interface on the inverter the switch
needs to be in the local position.

In-Built Earthing Point
It is important to install a grounding wire
from the unit's inbuilt earthing point to your
chassis or a grounding pole.
A grounding wire gives an appliance or
electrical device a safe way to discharge
excess electricity. By taking the electricity
that builds up during a malfunction or
surge and sending it outside of your circuit,
into the ground.
LOCAL
REMOTE
Earthing Connection Point
The installation of a fuse must be on the positive cable. Failure to place a fuse on “+” cables
running between the inverter and battery may cause damage to the inverter. Never connect the
main cables incorrectly to the battery. Connecting in reverse polarity will damage the inverter.

6. OPERATION
6-1 Operation - General
Once your inverter is installed and connected to batteries, switch the inverter on using the main
power switch. Your inverter will now be ready to use, simply plug in an appliance and operate. The
digital LCD control can be used as detailed below.
Warning: Do not intentionally use an appliance that is above the inverters maximum output
rating. This will cause the inverter to shut down and in some cases may damage the inverter.
This inverter features a digital LCD display which can be used to view status information and
control certain parameters as outlined below.
1. SET/OK: Setting button, enter button
2. UP: Setting button (UP)
3. DOWN: Setting button (DOWN)
4. MENU/ESC: Menu button, exit button

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Warning
Do not open or disassemble the inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in a risk of
electrical shock or fire.
Reduce loads being used so that it is below the
rated power of the unit. Please note that inductive
or capacitive loads may be several times higher
than their rated power upon start up.
Ensure the inverter has adequate ventilation and
is being used at a suitable temperature (0-40°)
Please note: extended periods of use can
cause overheating
You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt.
At the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.
When faults occur: The icon indicates the corresponding fault code and flashes for attention
