WARNINGS: INVERTER OUTPUT
This heavy-duty device producesvoltages similar to
commercial AC power.
• Danger of shock or electrocution -treat inverter output
the same as commercial AC power.
• Do not use the inverter nearflammable materials or
in any locations that may accumulateflammable
fumes or gases. This is an electrical device that
can briefly spark when electrical connections are
made or broken.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to contact the inverter.
• Do not use applianceswith damaged or wet cords.
Surrounding airtemperature should be between -4°F
and 104°F - ideally between 32°F-104°F. Keep the
inverter awayfrom direct sunlight, if at all possible.
• Keep the area surrounding the inverter,clear to ensure
free aircirculation around the unit. Do not place items
on or overthe inverter during operation. The unitwill
shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot.
Restart the inverterafter it cools.
• Your inverterwill only operate from a 12Vpower source.
Do not attempt to connectthe inverter to anyother
power source, including any AC power source. Do not
reverse the DC input polarity-this will void the warranty.
• Do not connect to transfer switch.
• Do not connect to household outlets.
12

APPLIANCE CAUTIONS
• DO NOT plug in battery chargers for cordless power
tools ifthe charger carries a warning that dangerous
voltages are present atthe battery terminals.
• Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal-hydride batteries can be damaged if powered by
this inverter. Two types of appliances are susceptibleto
damage: Small, battery-operated appliances such as
flashlights, cordless razors and toothbrushes that plug
directly into an AC receptacle.
• Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly
increase in speed (RPM) when powered by the inverter.
This is not harmful to the fan or to the inverter.
• Use safety approved extension cords rated at 15 Amps
or higher.
• GFCI devices may not work with modified sine wave
(MSW) power.
• This inverter is not tested for use with medical
equipment.
• 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
restartthe 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.
• Do not use powerstrips woth surge protection.
WARNING: DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION - INSTALL A FUSE
Battery Banks can deliververy high levels of current that
can vaporize metal, start fires and cause explosions. l3

PowerDrive recommends installing one ANL type fuse and
fuse holder close to the positive battery bankterminal. This
fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable shorts,
which can cause batteries toexplode. ANL fuses and fuse
holders are available at most hardware supply stores.
Powerdrive accessories available.

CAUTIONS
• Loose connections can result in asevere decrease in
voltage that can cause damage to cables and insulation.
• Failure to make correct polarity (Pos /Neg) connection
between the inverter and the battery bank can result in
blowing fuses in the inverter and can permanently
damage the inverter. Damage caused by reversed
polarity is not covered under the warranty.
• Ma lking the connection to the Positive terminal may
cause a spark as a result ofcurrent flowing to charge
capacitors within the inverter. This is a normal
occurrence.
• Because ofthe possibility of sparking, it is extremely
importantthat both the inverter and the 12-volt battery
be positioned far from any possible source of
flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed this
warning could result in fire orexplosion.
• Operating the inverter without correctly grounding the
unit may result in an electrical shock.
GETTING STARTED
When some tools turn on, there is an initial surge ofpower
to 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
11
in terms of power requirements. You will
, need to determine how much power your tool or l4

appliance requires to start up (starting load) and it's
continued running power requirements (continuous load).
Powerconsumption is rated in watts, or it can be
calculated from Amperes (Amps). This information is
usually stamped or printed on most appliances and
equipment. If this information is not indicated on the
appliance or equipment, checkthe owner's manual. For.
electrically sensitive equipment, contact the manufactur-
er to determine if the device you are using is compatible
with modified sine wave AC.
Multiply: AC AMPS X 110 (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.

Determining the DC Power Requirements
Your inverter requires the input of a 12-voltbattery. To
calculate the approximate power in Amps a 12-volt
battery bank to you need to know the current, or Amps
required for powering the continuous AC load. A
shortcut method is to divide the continuous AC load
wattage by 1o.For example, the continuous AC load is
3000 watts. The current (Amps) is: 3000/ 10 or 300 Amps
at 12 VDC. Add tothe load any DC appliances that may
be powered by the battery bank.
16

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. Follow these steps:
1. List the maximum wattage that the inverter has to
provide (as above).
2. Estimate the number ofhours the appliances will be in
use between battery recharges. This will vary
depending on appliances. As an example, atypical
home-use coffeemaker draws 500 Watts during its brew
time of 5minutes, it maintains the temperature ofthe
pot at about 100 watts. Typical use ofamicrowave
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 ofhours of run time. For
example: 2000 Watts for 10 hours = 20,000 Watts
hours. Using the 2000 Watts (or 200 Amps) for 10
hours example as above, then 200 Amps is needed
for 10 hours. This provides us with the basic
Amp-hours (AH) ofbattery 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 ofthe 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.
17

Ifthere is any doubtabout sizing the battery bank, it is
safe to over estimate the Amp hour requirements ofthe
battery bank.
Note:
The type of batteries you use to power your 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.
Mounting the Inverter
Your inverter should not
be mounted underthe
hood ofavehicle. If
installing in a vehicle,
choose a dry, cool,
ventilated area close to
the battery as practical.
Before drilling any
mounting holes, make
sure that there are no
wires,fuel lines, ortanks
directly behind the
surface to be drilled.
