Safety Instructions
A. General Safety Precautions
A-1. Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, 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.
Overheating may result.
A-2.To avoids a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that
existing wiring is in good electrical condition; and that wire size
is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or
substandard wiring.
B. Explosive Gas Precautions
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 which
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.
C. Precautions When Working With Batteries
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
WARNING!
Before install and use Your Inverter, read the safety instructions.

C-1. NEVER smokes or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery
or engine.
C-2. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or
short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an
explosion.
C-3. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery.
A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, Causing a severe
burn.

F. Rear view
F-1. Ventilation window :
Do not obstruct, allow at least 1 inch for air flow.
F-2. Battery terminals :
Connect to 12V / 24V / 48V battery or other 12V / 24V / 48V
powersource.
[ + ] is positive, [ - ] is negative. Reverse polarity connection will
blow internal fuse and may damage inverter permanently.
F-3. RS-485
Connect to remote control unit (option accessory) or taken
remote controlled working status by computer.
F-4. Chassis ground or to vehicle chassis using # 8 AWG wire.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard. Before proceeding Further, ensure that
the Inverter is NOT connected to any Batteries, and that
all wiring is Disconnected from any electrical Sources.
Do not connect the output Terminals of the Inverter to
an incoming AC sources.
WARNING!
Operation of the inverter without a proper ground
connection may result in an electrical safety hazard.

G. Quick hook – up and testing:
If you would like to quick hook-up the power inverter and check its
performance before going ahead with your installation, please follow
these guidelines:
G-1. Unpack and inspect the power inverter, check to see that the
power switch in the OFF position.
G-2. Connect the DC NEGATIVE cable to the Negative (NEG-)
terminal on the battery next, connect the cable to the negative
terminal on the inverter.
The connection to the negative terminal off the Inverter should
be the last connection made. A spark when making this final
connection is normal.
G-3. Before proceeding further, carefully check that cable you have
just connects from the negative terminal of inverter to the
gative output terminal of power source.
G-4. Connect the cable from the positive terminal of inverter to the
positive terminal of the power source. Make secure connection.
WARNING !
You may observe a spark when you make this connection since
current may flow to charge capacitors in the power inverter.
.
Do not make this connection in the presence of
flammable fumes, explosion or fire may result.
WARNING!
MakesurealltheDCconnectionsaretight(torqueto
9-10 ft-lbs,11.7-13Nm). Loose connections will
overheat and could result in a potential hazard.
CAUTION!
Reverse polarity connection will blow a fuse in Inverter and may
permanently damage the inverter.
Damage caused by reverse polarity connection is not
covered by our warranty.

G-5. Set the power switch to the ON position. Check the meters
and indicators on the front panel of the inverter. The voltage
bar graph indicate depending on the voltage of the power
source. If does not, check your power source and the
connections to inverter. The other indicators should be off.
G-6. Set power inverter switch to the OFF position, the indicator
lights may blink and the internal alarm may sound
momentarily The is normal. Plug the test load into the AC
receptacle on the front panel of the inverter.
Leave the test load switch off.
G-7. Set power inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test
load on, the inverter should supply power to the load. If you
plan to measure the true output r.m.s. Voltage of inverter, the
meter such as FLUKE 45 BACKMAN
4410 or TRIPLETT 4200 must be used.
H. Installation:
H-1. Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets
the following requirements:
H-1-1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip or splash on the inverter.
H-1-2. Col – Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and
40°C,thecoolerthebetter.
H-1-3. Safe – Do not install in a battery compartment or other
areas where flammable fumes may exist, such
as fuel storage are as or engine compartments.
H-1-4. Ventilated – Allow at least one inch of clearance around the
inverter for air flow. Ensure the ventilation
openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are
notobstructed.

H-1-5. Dust-free –Do not install the Inverter in a dusty environment
where either dust, wood particles or other
filings/shavings are present. These can pulled
into the unit when the cooling fan is operating.
H-1-6. Close to battery/batteries –
Avoidexcessivecablelengthsbutdonotinstall
the Inverter in the same compartment as
batteries. Use the recommended wire lengths
and sizes (see section 7.3). Also do not mount
the Inverter where it will be exposed to the
gases produced by the battery. These gases are
very corrosive and prolonged exposure will
damage the Inverter.
H-2. AC safety Grounding
During the AC wiring installation, AC input and
output ground wires are connected to the
inverter. The AC input ground wire must connect
to the incoming ground from your AC utility
source.
The AC output ground wire should go to the
grounding point for
your loads ( for example, a distribution panel
ground bus ).
H-2-1. Neutral Grounding
H-2-1-1.
120V models: The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit of the
Inverter is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation. This conforms to
National Electrical Code requirements that
separately derived AC sources (such as inverter and
generators) have their neutral conductors tied to
ground in the same way that the neutral conductor
