6. CONNECTION
1) Grounding
The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked " Grounding "or " ".
This is used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to the ground. The ground
terminal has already connected to the ground wire of AC output receptacle through
the internal connecting wire.
The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which will vary depending
on where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the ground terminal to
the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect it to the boat's grounding systems. In a
fixed
location, connect the ground terminal to earth.
Warnings:
● To make sure the firmness of the connection. The ground wire must be 14AWG (2.08
2
mm ) or even larger.
● Do not operate the power inverter without connecting to the ground. Electric shock
may result.
2) Connect to the lead acid battery
(1) Please do all the safety precautions before connection, and then check whether the
battery voltage is in accordance with the input voltage of the inverter. Only the
voltage of the battery accords with the requirements can be allowed to connect with
the inverter.
(2) The connecting wire must bear enough current. Depending on the table below,
please choose the input DC wire or larger one.
Notice:
1) The table above is only for your reference. In practice, the thick wire can be replaced
by two thin parallel wires if only the total cross-sectional area of the wire meets the
requirements.
2) In high current, the input DC wire may produce voltage drop, therefore, the operating
voltage should be subject to the value on the terminals. If the voltage drop is too
large, you can increase the cross-sectional area or reduce the length of the lead.
3) Installation of the remote control box (only for VS-1000PBR, VS-1000PB does not
have this part)
1) Fix the remote box on flat surface where a hole should be made, and use 2 screws
to fix it through the two mounting holes on the remote controller.
2) Or fix the remote on a standard 86X86mm(3.39x3.39 inch) power socket;
3) Connect the inverter and remote controller by wire before mounting.
Remark: Without remote controller, you can turn on the inverter by the switch on the
inverter too.
5. BATTERY
1). Voltage and current of the battery
The battery is designed to supply the unit with DC input voltage and the rated voltage
should be in accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage
exceeds the range of the input voltage of the inverter will cause over voltage or under
voltage protection.
In the meantime, the battery should supply sufficient current. The small capacity
battery cannot drive the large power electrical appliance. In this case, the battery will
be in under voltage protection because of the over-discharge of the battery. The
simple calculation method of battery current is: load power divided by battery
voltage. Due to the consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about
10% larger. For example, the voltage of lead acid battery is 12VDC, and load power
i s 1 0 0 0 W, t h e r e f o r e , t h e a c t u a l c u r r e n t o f t h e b a t t e r y i s a b o u t
1000W÷12V×110%≈91.6A.
2). Battery operating time
Battery operating time depends on battery capacity and current, and the calculation
formula of operating time is: battery capacity divided by current, that is, battery
capacity divided by the value of the load power divided by battery voltage times
110%. For example, battery specification is 12V, 2000Ah, load power is 1000W, so
the total discharging time is 2000Ah÷ (1000÷12×110%) ≈21.8 hours.
Notice: The result of formula above is on the basic of discharging rate of 20 hours of
the battery, that is, the result is from the discharging current of 2000Ah battery not
exceed 100A. When the charging current exceeds this value, the discharging period
will reduce.
And the quantity of the electricity of the battery may also influence the result. See the
specification of the battery manufacturer.

② How to use USB power supply
This model with USB output, can provide stable voltage 5V DC, maximum current
2.4A directly for the portable device with USB port.
Notice: Before using the USB power supply, please make sure the device can be
charged by USB and the maximum working current is no more than 2.4A.
8. ABOUT SOFT START TECHNOLOGY
The output voltage rises up from low to normal when the inverter is turned on. This
can reduce attack of high startup currents, which can make startup easier of large
inductive loads.
As for the large inductive loads, such as electric tools and the capacitive loads,
suggest turning on the switch of the appliance firstly and later the inverter's. The soft
start works.
9. THE OUTPUT WAVE FORM
The output wave form of this inverter is Pure Sine Wave, which is much like the one
from utility-supplied AC electricity, even more purer; pure sine wave is applicable in
most of loads, including electrical equipments, such as Linear Adaptor, switching
power supply, transformer, and motor and so on.
Comparing with Modified wave form, for inductive loads such as refrigerator and
electric fans, pure sine wave form can improve its power factor and the battery's
efficiency and reduce working noises effectively from appliances. For capacitive
loads such as adapter of lap-top, pure sine wave can lower the rush current at work
and reduce interferences to increase reliability and prolong the life of the product.

11. PROTECTIONS IN THE INVERTER
1. Input under-voltage alarm: When the input DC voltage is lower than 9.8V (19.6V),the
buzzer will whistle intermittently to remind that the inverter will go into the under
voltage protection. If you are operating a computer or other equipment, you should
pay attention to the timely preservation of data
2.Input undervoltage protection: When the input DC voltage is lower than 9.5V/19V, the
inverter will automatically shut down. The buzzer beeps for a long time,and the LCD
on the inverter displays "UNDERVOLTAGE".The user should turn off the inverter
power switch and recharge the battery in time before using it.
3. Input overvoltage protection: When the input DC voltage is higher than 16V/32V, the
inverter will automatically shut down.The buzzer beeps for a long time,and the LCD
on the inverter displays "OVERVOLTAGE".The user should turn off the inverter power
switch and adjust the input voltage to the allowable range before using it.
4. Short circuit protection:When the output is short circuit, the inverter will automatically
close the AC output and the LCD will display "OVERLOAD", and the AC output will be
automatically restored after the short circuit fault is removed.
5. Short-circuit protection: The AC output will be automatically shut down when short
circuited. It will automatically reset after the problem is solved.
6. Temperature protection: The product will heat up during use. If the temperature
exceeds 65°C, the inverter will automatically shut down. At this time, the buzzer will
beep and the LCD on the inverter will display "OVERHEAT". The user should turn off
the power switch of the inverter and continue to use it when the inverter is naturally
cooled to normal temperature. The user should also check the reasons for the
temperature protection, such as whether the ventilation conditions are good, whether
the ambient temperature is too high, whether the vent is blocked, whether the load
power is too large, etc., solve the above problems to avoid recurring temperature
protection. power etc. It can avoid similar things from happening again.
