E. ASSEMBLE
1) The position of mounting
First ensure that there is enough space to install the inverter, while the installation location must meet
the following requirements:
(1) Drying: Do not use water or other liquids dripping on the inverter.
(2) Cool: a working environment temperature of the product is 32 ~104°F, preferably a temperature of
50~77°F, at a temperature as low as possible within this range.
(3) Ventilation: There should be a certain distance between inverter and other objects, to avoid blocking
the products vents.
(4) Clean: Do not install the products in the dusty, wood chips or other particles. If cooling fan is on, the
particles involved in the inside of the product, thus affecting the normal work.
(5) Inverters and batteries when connected, will produce arcs or sparks, so there should not be around
flammable objects such as gasoline, alcohol, etc.
2) Assemble the inverter
For this big power inverter, which has a heavier weight, preferably mount it on a solid platform, such as
floor, table or mounting bracket fine. In order to avoid falling off, platform for supporting the product
should can bear the weight of sufficient capacity, and it is good with four screws to secure the product.
3) Assemble the remote controller box
(1) Fix the remote box on flat surface where a hole should be made, and use 2 screws to fix it through the
two mounting holes on the remote controller.
(2) Hang the remote on the fixing screws.
(3) Connect the remote box and inverter with the wire.
Note: In case not connect to the remote controller, the inverter can be also used as a normal pure sine
wave inverter, turned on by the power switch on the item.
F. BATTERY
1) Current and voltage
The battery is designed to supply the unit with DC input voltage and the rated voltage should be in
accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage exceeds the range of the input
voltage of the inverter will cause over voltage or under voltage protection.
In the meantime, the battery should supply sufficient current. The small capacity battery cannot drive
the large power electrical appliance. In this case, the battery will be in under voltage protection because
of the over-discharge of the battery.
The simple calculation method of battery current is: load power divided by battery voltage. Due to the
consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about 10% larger. For example, the voltage of
battery is 12VDC, and load power is 1000W, therefore, the actual current of the battery is about
1000W÷12V×110%≈91.6A.
2) Battery operating time
Battery operating time depends on battery capacity and current, and the calculation formula of
operating time is: battery capacity÷current=battery capacity÷(the load power÷battery voltage×110%). For
example, battery specification is 12V, 2000Ah, load power is 1000W, so the total discharging time is
2000Ah÷(1000÷12×110%)≈21.8 hours.
Note: The result of formula above is on the basic of discharging rate of 20 hours of the battery, that is, the
result is from the discharging current of 2000Ah battery not exceed 100A. When the charging current
exceeds this value, the discharging period will reduce. And the quantity of the electricity of the battery
may also influence the result. Please refer to the specification of the battery manufacturer.
G. CONNECTION
1) Grounding
The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked " Grounding "or " ". This is used to
connect the chassis of the power inverter to the ground. The ground terminal has already connected to
the ground wire of AC output receptacle through the internal connecting wire.
The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which depends on where the power
inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the ground terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat,
connect it to the boat's grounding systems. In a fixed location, connect the ground terminal to earth.
Warning:
● To make sure the firmness of the connection. The ground wire must be 14AWG (2.08mm
2
) or even
larger.
● Do not operate the power inverter without connecting to the ground. Electric shock may be resulted.

2) Connect to the battery
(1) Please do all the safety precautions before connection, and then check whether the battery voltage is
in accordance with the input voltage of the inverter. Only the voltage of the battery accords with the
requirements can be allowed to connect with the inverter.
(2) The connecting wire must bear enough current. Depending on the table below, please choose the
input DC wire or larger one.
Note:
(1) The table above is only for your reference. In practice, the thick wire can be replaced by two thin parallel
wires if only the total cross-sectional area of the wire meets the requirements.
(2) In high current, the input DC wire may produce voltage drop, therefore, the operating voltage should be
subject to the value on the terminals. If the voltage drop is too large, you can increase the cross-sectional
area or reduce the length of the lead.
(3) Connect cathode wire of the battery to the cathode terminal (black) on the rear panel of inverter and
then connect the anode wire of the battery to the anode terminal (red) on the inverter, and fix them.
Warning:
(1) Please wear eye patch and work clothes when working around the battery to protect your eyes and skin
from the acid and corrosive objects.
(2) Prepare enough water and soap. In case the acid material splashes on your skin, clean it by soap and
water as soon as possible. If the acid material spays to your eyes accidentally, clean it by cold water
and then sent to hospital.
(3) Do not put any combustible material in the location of installation for it will result in spark when connect-
ed to the battery.
(4) Keep good ventilation. The battery may produce a little inflammable gas when it works, so keep away
from the inverter and it is better to install them in different space.
(5) Fix the connecting wire of the input DC, or it will result in the over-reduction of the voltage or over-tem-
perature of the inverter.
(6) Reverse connection of the polarities or the short circuit will burn the fuse or result in the permanent
damage of the internal elements of inverter.
(7) Take away the metal accouterments, such as ring or watch, when installation, to avoid the short circuit.
(8) Although there is over-voltage protection, it may also cause damage of the inverter if the input voltage
is too high.
3) Connection of the AC appliance
Put the load power plug of the AC appliance into the output AC receptacle of the inverter directly.
Warning:
(1) Make sure that the switches of the inverter and appliance power are in OFF position before connection.
(2) Check the power cord. If it is damaged, it should be connected after replacement.
H. USAGE
1) How to use inverter
(1) Check the output voltage and capacity of the battery to make sure it is in accord with the requirements
of the product.
(2) Connect the battery and the DC cable of the inverter to ensure that the polarities are not connected
reversely and in tight connection.
(3) Long press the switch or the remote of inverter for over 0.5s and then stop, if the indicator light on the
inverter or on the remote control box is on, it means the inverter starts to work normally. This opening
method can avoid turning on the unit by mistakes due to the interference or any factors.
(4) Switch off electrical appliances and put its plug to the AC output socket of inverter. Then switch on
electrical appliance.
(5) The cooling fans inside the inverter do not work until the case temperature rises up to about 104°F or
the load power is more than 640W.
(6) Switch off inverter and remote to stop working. At that time, the indicator lights in. Both inverter and
remote controller are off. The inverter does not consume current of the battery when it is switched off.
2) How to use USB power supply
This model with USB output, can provide stable voltage 5VDC, maximum current 2.4A directly for the
portable device with USB port.
Note: Before using the USB power supply, please make sure the device can be charged by USB and the
maximum working current is no more than 2.4A.
I. ABOUT SOFT START TECHNOLOGY
The output voltage rises up from low to normal when the inverter is turned on. This can reduce attack of
high start-up currents, which can make startup easier of large inductive loads. As for the large inductive
loads, such as electric tools and the capacitive loads, suggest turning on the switch of the appliance firstly
and later the inverter's. The soft start works.
J. OUTPUT WAVE FORM
The output wave form of this inverter is Pure Sine Wave, which is much like the one from utility-supplied
AC electricity, even more purer; pure sine wave is applicable in most of loads, including electrical
equipments, such as Linear Adaptor, switching power supply, transformer, and motor and so on. Compar-
ing with Modified wave form, for inductive loads such as refrigerator and electric fans, pure sine wave form
can improve its power factor and the battery's efficiency and reduce working noises effectively from
appliances. For capacitive loads such as adapter of lap-top, pure sine wave can lower the rush current at
work and reduce interferences to increase reliability and prolong the life of the product.

that it is in the allowable range of�the input voltage.
● Cut off the load and let it cool naturally for 10 to 30
minutes.
● Restart it after it resumes to normal temperature. Reduce
the load. avoid blocking the vent and improve the
ventilation condition.
● Reduce the load power, or turn on the appliance first,
then turn on the inverter.
● Choose a bigger inverter
● Change a bigger battery and ensure fully charged.
● Test output voltage with a True RMS meter
● Try to maintain the input voltage in the range of rated
power
● Change the battery of the meter then test again.
● Press the power switch for 1-2 second to turn it on. it is a
long press type switch.
● Check the cables and make sure they are tightly
connected.
1. Load power is too large. Or the actual
power of the appliance exceeds nominal
power.
2. The starting power is larger than rated
power (especially for appliances with
motor)
3. Battery is too small.
● Don't need the tester to do the Grounding Test.
● Refer to the manual to do the Grounding
This is because it is not connected to a"
true Earth ground ", meaning it is not
connected to a metal rod stuck in the Earth.
it would be impossible to do so in a boat or
car while moving. The power inverter DOES
