If you would like to quick hook-up the power
inverter and check its performance before going
ahead with your installation, please follow these
guideline
1. Unpack and inspect the power inverter, check
to see that the power switch in the OFF position.
2. Connect the cables to the power input terminals
on the rear panel of power inverter. The red
terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is
negative (-).
Connect the cables into the terminals and tighten
the wing nut to clamp the wires securely.
3.
Connect the cable from the negative terminal
of the inverter to the negative terminal of the
power source. Make a secure connection.
CAUTION!!
Loosely tightened connectors result in
excessive drop and may cause overheated
wires and melted insulation.
4.
Before proceed further, carefully check if the
terminals connect correctly.
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.
5. 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, explosions or fire may result.
6. Set power inverter switch to OFF position,
the indicator lights may blink and the internal
alarm may sound momentarily. This is normal.
Plug the test load into the AC receptacle on the
front panel of the inverter. Leave the test load
switch off.
7. Set power inverter switch to the ON position
and turn the test load on, the inverter should
supply power to the load.

Installation
1. Where to install
The power inverter should be installed in a location
that meets the following requirements:
a. Dry - Do not allow water to drip or splash on
the inverter.
b.
Cool - Ambient air temperature should be
between -15°C and 45°C, the cooler environment
is better.
c.
Ventilated - Allow at least 15cm of clearance
around the inverter for airflow.

The ON/OFF switch turns the control circuit in
the power inverter on and off.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the power
inverter draws no current from battery. When
the switch is in the ON position but with no load,
the power inverter draws less than 600mA
(12V version) or 300 mA (24V version) from
battery.
Connect to earth ground or to vehicle chassis.
WARNING!!
Operation of the inverter without a proper
ground connection may result in an electrical
safety hazard.

Operation
To operate the power inverter, turn it on using
the ON/OFF switch on the front panel. The power
inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your
loads. If you are operating several loads from
the power inverter, turn them on separately after
the inverter has been turned on. This will ensure
that the power inverter does not have to deliver
the starting currents for all the loads at once.

3. Grounding
The power inverter has a lug on the rear panel
"chassis ground". This is to connect the chassis
of the power inverter to the ground. The ground
terminals in the AC outlets on the front panel of
the inverter are also connected to the ground lug.
The chassis ground lug must be connected to a
grounding point, which will vary depending on
where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle,
connect the chassis ground to the chassis of the
vehicle. In a boat, connect to the boat's grounding
systems. In a fixed location, connect the chassis
ground lug to earth.
The neutral (common) conductor of the power
inverter AC output circuit is connected to the
chassis ground. Therefore, when the chassis is
connected to ground, the neutral conductor will
also be grounded. This conforms to national
electrical code requirements that separately
derived AC sources (such as inverters and
generators) have their neutral tied to ground in
the same way that the neutral conductor from the
utility line is tied to ground at AC breaker panel.
Caution!!
The negative DC input of the power
inverter is connected to the chassis. Do not
install the power inverter in a positive ground
DC system. A positive ground DC system has
the positive terminal of the battery connected
to the chassis of the vehicle or to the grounding
point.
Warning!!
Do not operate the power inverter without
connecting it to ground. Electrical shock hazard
may result.
Troubleshooting
1.Common problems
a. Buzz in audio systems:
Some inexpensive stereo systems and "boom boxes" will emit a buzzing noise from their loud
speakers when operated from the power inverter. This is because the power supply in the
device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the power inverter.
The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply.
(24V spec). If the voltage drops below 10.5V ( 12V spec.) or 21.0V (24V spec.), an audible
low battery warning will sound, and LCD shows ERR LOW.
The power inverter will also shut down if the input voltages exceed 16V (12V spec.) or 32V
(24V spec). If the voltage are shut down because of high input volt protection, an audibel high
battery warning will sound, and LCD shows ERR HIGH
※
The error of above spec is ±0.5V (for 12V), ±1.0V (for 24V)
!
!
Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear
and bottom of the unit are not obstructed.
d. Safe -
Do not install the inverter in the same
compartment as batteries or in any compartment
capable of storing flammable liquids such
as gasoline.
2. Cables
DC to AC inverters requires high amperage/low
voltage DC power to low amperage/high voltage
Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. 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.

-Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
-
Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as possible and twist them
together
with about 2 to 3 twists per 30cm /foot. This minimizes radiated interference from the
-Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching television.
- Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate ("snow free") signal
and that you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the television.
b. Television interference:
Operation of the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some channels. If this
situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the problem.
- Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back of the power inverter is solidly connected to
the ground system of your vehicle, boat or
home.
