Important Safety Information
01
Important Safety Information
The user manual provides important installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for
12V 700W/1000W/2000W/3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter. Please read the user manual
carefully before installation and operation and save it for future reference.
Failure to observe the instructions or precautions in the user manual can result in electrical
shock, serious injury, or death, or can damage the inverter, potentially rendering it
inoperable. The installation and service of the inverter might require knowledge of electricity
and is recommended to be carried out by qualified personnel.
Symbols Used
The following symbols are used throughout the user manual to highlight important
information:
WARNIN
G
Indicates a potentially dangerous condition which could
result in injury or death.
CAUTIO
N
Indicates a critical procedure for safe and proper installation
and operation.
NOTE
Indicates an important step or tip for optimal performance.
INFO
Indicates that more information is available in other
documents relating to the subject.
General Safety Information
WARNIN
G
zHave the inverter installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the local and
national electric codes (NEC).
zThere are no serviceable parts for this inverter. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair
the inverter.
zEnsure all connections going into and from the inverter are tight. There may be sparks
when making connections; therefore, there should not be flammable materials or gases
near the installation site.
zThe inverters are suitable for 12V battery banks ONLY.
zAlways ensure the inverter is in OFF position and disconnect all AC and DC devices
associated with the inverter.
zNever connect the AC output of the inverter directly to an Electrical Breaker Panel or
Load Center which is also fed from the utility power or generator.
zPlease confirm the polarity of the devices before connection. A reverse polarity contact
can cause injury and damage the device.
zBe careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors as they may retain high lethal
voltages even after power is removed.
Symbols Used General Safety Information

Important Safety Information
02
zDo not let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other. Use
only deep-cycle sealed lead-acid, flooded, gel, or lithium batteries.
zRisk of explosion! Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries!
Do not install in a confined area where battery gases can accumulate.
zBe careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have
fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.
zOvercharging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and
activate material shedding on them. Too high of an equalizing charge or too long of one
may cause damage. Carefully review the requirements of the specific battery in use.
CAUTIO
N
zInstall the inverter in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry environment. Make sure the fans of
the inverter and the ventilation holes are not blocked.
zDo not expose the unit to rain, moisture, snow, or liquids of any type.

Introduction
General Information
Renogy 12V 700W/1000W/2000W/3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter (hereinafter referred to
as inverter) is perfect for most off-grid systems, whether for a van, semi-trucks, fifth wheels,
cabin, or any remote location needing power. The inverter converts DC Power stored in
batteries into usable AC Power for appliances. The advanced Renogy pure sine wave
technology will allow you to power just about any AC appliance without risk of damage to
even your most sensitive equipment.
Key Features
zPowerful DC-AC Conversion
Continuous rated output power with a conversion efficiency greater than 90%, and up to 2x
surge for start-up loads.
zSafe for Use
Integrated GFCI, overload, overtemperature, overvoltage, short-circuit, and undervoltage
protection.
zGuaranteed Protection on Appliances
Pure sine wave technology is similar if not better than grid power and can extend appliance
life by providing a smooth sine wave so as to not damage it. No strange buzzing sounds and
your devices can run smoothly.
zEase to Use
Offers a built-in 5 V/2.1 A USB port, AC Outlet(s), Hardwired AC Output Terminal Block, and
a Wired Remote Port.
zReliable Quality
ETL listed to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 107.1 and UL 458.

Introduction
04
Pure Sine Wave
The inverter outputs a pure sine wave similar to the waveform of the grid power. In a pure
sine wave, the voltage rises and falls in a smooth fashion with very low harmonic distortion
and cleaner utility-like power.

This technology allows the inverter to supply electronic devices that require a high quality
waveform with little harmonic distortion. In addition, the technology enables the inverter to be
more efficient than traditional ones, allowing you to use less energy to supply more devices.
The inverter can provide sufficient, stable power for tools, fans, lights, computers, and other
electronics without any interference.
