Determining
the
DC
Power
Requirements
Your inverter requires the input
of
a 12-volt battery. To
calculate the approximate power in Amps a 12-volt
battery bank to you need to knowthe current,
or
Amps
required for powering the continuous AC load. A
shortcut method is to divide the continuous AC load
wattage
by
10. For example, the continuous
AC
load is
3000 watts. The current (Amps) is: 3000/10 or 300 Amps
at 12 VDC. Add to the load any DC appliances that may
be powered bythe battery bank.
• This inverter is not tested for use in marine applications.
• In the event
of
a continuous audible alarm
or
automatic '
shut down, turn
the
inverter OFF immediately. Do not
restart the inverter until the source
of
the problem has
been identified and corrected.
• When using your PowerDrive inverter to power lead acid
battery chargers (Like those used for a car,boat
or
motorcycle) with modified sine wave, check the
temperature
of
the battery charger after 1Ominutes.
Ifthe battery charger becomes hot , immediately
disconnect
it
from the inverter and allow it to cool before
resuming the charging operation .
WARNING:
DANGER
OF
BATTERY
EXPLOSION
-
INSTALL
A
FUSE
Battery Banks can deliver very high levels
of
current that
can vaporize metal, startfires and cause explosions.
PowerDrive recommends installing one ANL type fuse and
fuse holder close to
the
positive battery bank terminal. This
fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable
shorts, which can cause batteries to explode. ANL fuses
and fuse holders are available at most hardware supply
stores.
Powerdrive accessories available.

CAUTIONS
• Loose connections can result in a severe decrease
in voltage that can cause damage to cables & insulation.
• Failure to make correct polarity (Pos/Neg) connection
between the inverter and the battery bank can result
in
blowing fuses in the inverter &can permanently damage
the inverter. Damage caused by reversed polarity is not
covered underthe warranty.
• Making the connection to the Positive terminal may
cause a spark as a result
of
current flowing to charge
capacitors within the inverter. This is a normal occurrence.
Sizing
the
Battery
To determine the minimum battery bank Ampere-hour
rating that you will need to operate appliances from the
inverter, and any DC appliances powered by the battery
bank. Followthese steps:
1. List the maximum wattage that the inverter has to
provide (as above).
2. Estimate the number of hours the appliances will be
in
use between battery recharges. This will vary
depending on appliances. As an example, a typical
home-use coffeemaker draws 500 watts during its
brewtime
of
5 minutes, it maintains the temperature
of
the pot at about 100 watts. Typical use
of
a
microwave oven is only for a few minutes. Some
longer operating time appliances are lamps, TV's,
computers and refrigerator/freezers.
3. Determine the total watt-hours
of
energy needed.
Then multiply the average power consumption in
watts by the number
of
hours
of
run time. For
example: 2000 Watts for 10 hours =20,000 Watt
hours. Using the 2000 Watts (or 200 Amps) for
to
hours example as above, then 200 Amps is needed
for 1Ohours. This provides us with the basic
Amp-hours (AH)
of
battery that is required. Ten hours
at 200 Amps equals 2000 Amp Hours (AH). This
answer is just a beginning because there are other
conditions that determine actual run time.
These include:
• AC appliance load and time in use (Basic Amp Hour)
• Cable gauge and length
• Charge level
of
the batteries (between use, chargers
have to be able to fully charge the batteries)
• Temperature
of
the batteries (colder batteries provide
fewer Amps)
• Age and condition
of
the batteries (older batteries lose
capacity Amp hours)
• Compliance with turning off unnecessary AC and
DC loads.
13
• Because
of
the possibility
of
sparking, it is
eX1remely
important that both the inverter and the 12-volt battery
be positioned far from any possible source
of
flamma-
ble fumes
or
gases. Failure
to
heed this warning could
result in fire or explosion.
• Operating the inverter without correctly grounding the
unit may result in an electrical shock.
GETIING
STARTED
When some tools turn on, there is an initial surge
of
powerto start. This surge
of
power is referred to as the
'starting
load'
or "peak load.' Once started, the tool
or
appliance requires less power to operate. This is
referred to as the "continuous load" in terms
of
power
requirements. You will need to determine how much
power yourtool or appliance requires to start up
(starting load) and it's continued running power
requirements (continuous load).
Power consumption is rated in watts,
or
it can be
calculated from Amperes (Amps). This information is
usually stamped or printed on most appliances and
equipment. Ifthis information is not indicated on the
appliance
or
equipment, check the owner's manual. For
electrically sensitive equipment, contact the manufactur-
erto determine
if
the device you are using is compatible
with modified sine wave AC.
Multiply:
AC
AMPS
X110
(AC
voltage) =
WATTS
This formula yields a close approximation
of
the
continuous load of your appliance.
Multiply:
WATTS
X2 =Starting Load for most
appliances
This formula yields a close approximation
of
the starting
load
of
most appliances. Exceptions are motorized
appliances such
as
pumps, freezers and air condition-
ers. These appliances can have startup loads
of
up to
eighttimes the rated watts.
Ifthere is any doubtabout sizing the battery bank, it is
safe to over estimate the Amp hour requirements
of
the
battery bank.
Note:
The type
of
batteries you use to poweryour
high-power inverter is important. Operating a high-power
inverter will routinely discharge batteries and they will
require frequent recharging. Batteries used to start
engines are not designed to repeatedly charge and
discharge.
We
recommend using "deep-cycle" or
"marine" rated batteries.
CABLE GAUGES
When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the
thickest stranded insulated copper
wire
available in the
shortest length practical.

TELEVISION AND AUDIO SUGGESTIONS
Although all PowerDrive inverters are shielded and
filtered
to
minimize signal interference with your
television picture may be unavoidable, especially in
weak signal areas.
Here are some suggestions that may improve reception:
1. First, make sure that the television antenna
produces a clear signal under normal operating
conditions. Also, ensure that the antenna cable is
properly shielded and of good quality.
2. Change the positions
of
the inverter, antenna cables
or
TV
power cord.
3.
Isolate the
TV,
its power cord and antenna cables
from the 12-volt power source by running an
extension cord from the inverter
to
the television set.
4. Coil the television power cord and the input cables
running from the 12-volt power source to the inverter.
5.
Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter"
to
the television
power cord. More than one filter may be required.
These filters are available at most electronic
supply stores.
Note:
Some inexpensive audio systems may produce a slight
"buzzing"
sound when operated with the inverter. The
only solution to this problem is
to
use a sound system
with better power supplyfiltering.

DAS COMPANIES, INC. POWERDRIVE™ ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
This Limited Warranty covers this PowerDrive™ product.
This product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR
from the date of original retail purchase ("Warranty Period"). This warranty extends only to the original
purchaser and will end when the product is transferred to a subsequent owner. If a defect arises during
the Warranty Period, DAS (PowerDrive), at its option and to the extent permitted by law will (1) repair
the product at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and
reliability or (2) exchange the product with a functionally equivalent product that is new or equivalent to
new in performance and reliability. This warranty excludes damage resulting from misuse or abuse,
accident, operation of the product not in accordance with the manuals or other included written
instructions, modification of the product, attempted repair of the product, or as a result of an act of God
or as a result of war or terrorist attack or other causes that are not defects in materials and
workmanship.
Non-PowerDrive branded products/Third Party Products. This warranty does not apply to products that
are not PowerDrive branded even if packaged or sold with PowerDrive products, nor does it apply to
batteries or similar expandable parts or accessories.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW DAS (POWERDRIVE) IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR SERVICE OF THE
PRODUCT. THE WARRANTY AND REMEDIES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN, EXPRESS, STATUTORY
OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW DAS (POWERDRIVE) DISCLAIMS ALL
IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS

warranty, and your seller is solely responsible for any other warranties.
Some states and countries do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or allow
