Viva Inverter
Introduction
VIVA is a compact inverter designed to power
Its portable size features easy installation and high movability. It’s perfect for
diverse applications from indoor to outdoor events or activities such as camping
and night markets.
Besides, it can accept wide input voltage range. It’s perfect to use in unstable power
area. It also offers flexible display ways: vertically stand, flatly display, and two-
direction mounting. It’s very easy to install at home, office, or carry outside.
Compared to heavy-duty inverters, it’s a cost-effective solution for lighting.
energy saving bulbs up to 3-4 hours.

Before using the unit, please read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the unit, this manual and the batteries.
Important Safety Warnings
General Precaution-
Conventions used:
WARNING! Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal
injury;
CAUTION! Caution identify conditions or practices that could result in damaged to
the unit or other equipment connected.
CAUTION! This unit contains more than one live circuit (batteries & AC line). Power
may be present at more than one source. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the unit before attempting
any maintenance or replacement inside of the unit. Turning off the unit
will not reduce this risk.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified batteries from qualified
distributors or manufacturers. Any unqualified batteries may cause
damage and injury. Do NOT use old or overdue batteries. Please check
the battery type and date code before installation to avoid damage and
injury.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use
appropriate external battery cable. To reduce risk of injury, external
battery cables should be UL certified and rated for 75 C or higher. And
do NOT use copper cables less than 18AWG. Below is the external battery
cable reference according to system requirements.

VIVA 30 3 A AWG 14 1.6277
Table 1 Minimum Recommended Battery Cable Size versus Length
WARNING! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment. The
battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and
concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.
CAUTION! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing
or working with the inverter, the batteries, or other equipments attached
to this unit.
CAUTION! For battery installation and maintenance, read the battery manufacturer's
installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.

Personnel Precaution -
CAUTION! If you need to remove a battery, make sure all accessories are off so
you don’t cause a spark.
CAUTION! Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
CAUTION! Careful to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the batteries.
It could spark or short circuit the batteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTION! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short
circuit current high enough to make metal melt, and could cause severe
burns.
CAUTION! Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
CAUTION! Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
CAUTION! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
CAUTION! If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the
automatic starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent
accident during servicing.

5Installation
NOTE: Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that
nothing inside the package is damaged.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS BEFORE MAKING BATTERY CONNECTION!!
CAUTION!! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with batteries.
CAUTION!! For the user operation safety, we strongly recommend that you should
use tapes to isolate the battery terminals before you start to operate the
unit. Please refer to below instruction for further information.
Step 1-Turn off the unit and unplug the unit to prevent electrical shock or sparks.
Step 2-Remove 4 screws located on the bottom of the unit to open the unit. To prevent
any shocks, please do NOT touch any inside components.
Step 3-Check if there is an internal battery inside. If yes, removing battery wires from
internal battery first.
NOTE: Do NOT make the battery short circuited, or it will cause the danger of
burning. To prevent any shocks, do NOT touch any inside components.
A. Replace Internal Battery
Step 1-Remove the old battery from the case.
Step 2-Make sure the new battery is the same type and nominal voltage to the old
battery.
Step 3-Connect the battery cables to the internal battery.
RED cable to the positive terminal (RED) of the battery;
BLACK cable to the negative terminal (BLACK) of the battery.
Step 4-Assemble the case with 4 screws.
Step 5-Power on the unit.
B. Modify Internal Battery Connection to External Battery Connection
Step 1-Remove the old battery from the case.
Step 2-Connect battery cable to external battery terminal on PCB.
RED cable to W7 : the positive terminal (RED+)(BAT+);
BLACK cable to W5: the negative terminal(BLK-)(BAT-)
Step 3-Assemble the case with 4 screws.
Step 4-Follow the procedures of External Battery Connection Section listed below.
Step 5-After completing external battery connection, power on the unit.
C. Modify External Battery Connection to Internal Battery Connection
Step 1-Before disassembling the unit, disconnect the external battery and external
battery cable first.
Step 2-Disassemble the unit.
Step 3-Disconnect the internal battery cable from the external battery terminal
(W5 and W7).
Step 4-Put internal battery into the case. Make sure the voltage of the new battery is
equal to the nominal battery DC voltage of the unit.
