1. Important safety information
1.1. General Safety Precautions
1.1.1
Do not expose the inverter to water, mist, snow or dust. To reduce the risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation shaft.
Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may occur.
1.1.2
To avoid the risk of fire and electronic shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition and not undersize. Do not
operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
1.1.3
Some components in the inverter can cause arcs and sparks. To prevent from fire or explosion, do not put batteries, flammable
materials or anything should be ignition-protected around the inverter.
1.2 Precautions when working with batteries
1.2.1
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, you need to wash it out immediately with soap and water. If acid enters into your eyes,
immediately flush you eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
1.2.2
Never smoke or make a spark or flame in the vicinity of batteries or engines.
1.2.3
Do not drop metal tools on the battery. The resulting sparks or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical parts may cause an
explosion.
1.2.4
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid
battery may produce a short-circuit current who’s temperature is high enough to weld these metal items and cause a severe burn.
WARNING!
Before installing and using the inverter, you need to read following safety information carefully.

3. Instructions
This power inverter series is one of the most advanced lines of mobile AC power systems. To get the most effective power inverter, it
must be installed and used properly. Please read the instructions of this manual before you install and operate this model.

3.2.1 Remote ON / OFF switch for Phoenix inverter 750VA model only
3.2.1.1
To operate the inverter with a remote ON/OFF switch, the ON/OFF/REMOTE switch on the front panel should be in the remote position.
3.2.1.2
Use a standard RJ11 plug with a 4 wire telephone flat cable. The switch should be connected to the 2 wires on the outside (pin 1 and 4)
of the plug (see picture).
Plug the cable into the connector marked “REMOTE PORT”.
If the remote control contact is in a state of low impedance (short), the inverter will be turned ON. If the remote control contact is in a
state of high impedance (open), the inverter will be turned off.
3.2.2 Fan Ventilation:
Be sure to keep it a distance (at least 1 inch) from surrounding things.
3.2.3 Input terminals:
Connect the input terminal to 12V / 24V / 48V battery or other 12V / 24V / 48V power sources.
【＋】 represents positive and 【－】 represents negative. Reverse polarity connection will blow the internal fuse and may damage the
inverter permanently.
