Description
Utilize your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road or power tools at a work site. Continuously supplies up to 3000 watts
of 120V AC power to 4 AC GFCI protected outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. Includes a PV remote and 25 feet of cable.
Heavy-duty, compact metal case design is among the smallest, most rugged inverters available at this power level. Conforms to OSHA 1926.404 (b)
(1) (ii)
NOTE: To protect against high current draw that may occur during inverter failure, two fuse links rated at 250a each should be positioned no more
than 18" from the PV3000GFCI's battery in each positive line.
Applications
AC Power to meet all your equipment needs; including air compressors, water pumps, heater, fans, power tools, lights, splicing systems, portable
power tool chargers as well as TVs, DVD players, microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers and game systems under 3000 watts.
Package Includes
PV3000GFCI Inverter
Remote control LED/switch module (APSRM4)
25-ft. remote cable

Features
Converts DC power into 3000 watts of continuous 120V AC power
15- and 20-amp outlets provide 120V AC power
Includes "Battery Saver" low voltage alarm/shutdown
Heavy-duty DC input terminals assure solid connection to battery. Dual connections provide high wattage to support heavy equipment loads.
Operating mode switch controls inverter operation.
Remote control jack provides optional remote monitoring and control (when used with FREE, included LED/switch module)
Remote Control LED/Switch Module controls and monitors your inverter from virtually anywhere within your vehicle with use of included
extra-long cable. Allows multiple mounting options, including behind or below a dashboard or compartment. Features daisy-chain capability
Battery charge level LEDs indicate the approximate charge level (high/medium/low) of connected batteries

Connected load level LEDs indicate the approximate wattage load level (high/medium/low) of connected equipment
Sturdy extruded aluminum case stands up to the toughest work environments
Battery conservation charge dial conserves battery power by setting the low-load level at which the inverter automatically shuts off
Cooling fans provide cooler operation, lengthening inverter service life
Circuit breakers guard the inverter against potentially damanging equipment overload
Mounting flanges provide safe, fixed installation
Grooved cooling surface provides additional surface area for more efficient cooling
Grounding lug connects to vehicle ground
