1. Safety Instructions
1-1. General Safety Precautions
Warning! Before using the Inverter, read the safety
instructions.
 Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray or dust. To reduce the
risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings
and do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.
 To avoid the risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that the
existing wiring is in good electrical condition, and the wire size is not
undersized.
 This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or
sparks. To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartment
containing batteries or flammable materials or in location which
require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space
containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings,
or other connection between components of the fuel system.
 Depending on the user scenario, the AC output of the inverter may
require user installed breaker or fuse. In AC output hardwire
application, AC socket will not been provided. The inverter
incorporates standard AC short circuit protection.
 An over current protection at the time of installation shall be provided
by others for the AC output circuit.
 Additional breakers suitable for 20 A branch circuit protection shall
be provided for the GFCI receptacles.
 The following precautions should be taken when working on the
inverter:
Step 1 Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects
Step 2 Use tools with insulated handles
Step 3 Wear rubber gloves and boots

1-2. Other Safety Notes
 Upon receipt, examine the carton box for damage. If you have
found any damage on the carton box please notify Vanner.
 Do not operate near water or in excessive humidity.
 Do not open or disassemble the inverter, and warranty may be
voided.
 The DC side connections should be firm and tight.
 Grounding: Reliable grounding should be maintained.
 Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or
short-circuit on the battery or on the other electrical part may
cause an explosion.
 Install the inverter in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the front
air vents, or the rear air exhausts of the unit.
 Wiring: Adequate input power must be supplied to the inverter for
proper use; correct wiring sizes must be ensured.
 Mount the inverter such that the fan axis is horizontal.
 Do not operate the inverter close to combustible gas or open fire.
 Do not operate appliances that may feed power back into the
inverter.
 Temperature: The inverter should be operated in an ambient
temperature range of -25° to 40° otherwise the output efficiency
may be affected. Air flow to the inverter must not be blocked.

Note! Batteries are capable of providing very large currents
in case of short circuit. The fuse should be as close to the
positive battery terminal as possible.

3-3. Maintenance
Make sure that the fan vents are not blocked.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust from the fan area
When cleaning the case or front panel, use a soft, dry cloth, only. If
the case or front panel is very dirty, use a neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. Do not use alcohol or ammonia based solutions.
Regular service, and relocation of the inverter, should be performed
by a qualified service technician. Avoid spilling liquid on the inverter.

4. Operation
4-1. Connecting the DC cable
Connect DC input terminals to 12V / 24V battery or other DC power
source [ + ] is positive, [ - ] is negative. Reverse polarity connection
can blow the internal fuse and may damage the inverter
permanently.
Warning! Make sure that all the DC connections are
tight (torque to 9 – 10 ft-lbs, 11. – 13 Nm). Loose
connections could result in overheating and can be a
potential hazard.
Warning! The recommended inline fuse should be
installed as close to the battery positive terminal as
possible (within 18.0”) failure to use a fuse on the “+”
cable running between the inverter and battery may
cause damage to the cable / inverter and will void
warranty.
4-2. Connecting the input power
Before making the DC input side connections, the main switch
must be at “OFF”.
4-3. Connecting the loads
Calculate the total power consumption of the output load. Make sure
that the total power consumption does not exceed the rated power.
If the total power consumption over the rated power of the inverter,
remove the non-critical: loads until the total power consumption is
below the rated power.
4-4. Switch ON Inverter
Set the power switch to the “ON” position. The inverter will carry out
self-diagnosis and, the LED’s will also appear various colors.
Set the power switch to the “OFF” position. The inverter stops and all
the lights that are on will go off.
