General Precautions
1. Before using thisInverter, read allinstructionsand cautionarymarkings
on :
(1)Inverter(2)the batteries(3)thismanual
2. CAUTION --To reduce riskofinjury, charge onlylead-acid rechargeable
batteries. Othertypesofbatteriesmaycausedamage and injury.
3. Do not exposeInverterto rain,snoworliquidsofanytype. Inverteris
designed forindoor.
4. Do not disassemble Inverter.Take it to a qualified service centerwhen
service orrepairisrequired.
5. WARNING: Provide ventilation to outdoors fromthe batterycompartment.
The batteryenclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and
concentration ofhydrogengasat the top ofthe compartment.
6. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
7. Input/outputACwiring must be no less than 18AWGgaugecopperwire
and rated for75oC orhigher. Batterycablesmust be rated for75oCor
higherand shouldbe no less than 10AWGgauge. The innerdiameterof
the copperring terminalwhich isused toconnect batterycablesto
InverterDC terminalsshould be no less than 6mm.
8. Be extracautiouswhen working with metaltoolsaround batteries.
Short-circuiting the batteriescould cause anexplosion.
9. Read the batterymanufacturer sinstallation and maintenanceinstructions
priortooperating.
Personnel Precautions
1. Have plentyoffresh waterand soap nearbyin case batteryacidcontacts
skin, clothing, oreyes.
2. Avoid touching eyeswhileworking nearbatteries.
3. NEVER smoke orallowasparkorflame in vicinityofa battery.
4. Remove personalmetalitemssuch asrings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watcheswhen working with batteries.Batteriescanproduce a short-circuit
current high enough to make metalmelt, and couldcause severeburns.
5. Ifa remote orautomaticgeneratorstart systemisused, disablethe
automaticstarting circuitordisconnect thegeneratortoprevent accident
during servicing.

Introduction
This Inverterisa DC-to-ACinverterwithauto line-to-batterytransferand
integrated chargingsystem, serving asan extended run UPS,a standalone
powersourceoran automotive inverter.
InvertersuppliespowerfromAC powerand DC source. When AC cableis
connected to awallsocket, utilitypowergoesto connected equipment(s)
and/orchargesthe batteryset via charging system. In UPSmode, Inverter
automaticallyconvert batteryenergyintoACpowerforbacking up the
connected devices.

⑤Input Voltage RangeSelector: (Input voltage rangeisdefined in
specification chapter,andoutputvoltage isthesame asinput voltage in
mainsmode)
A.Select Narrow’setting forgeneralelectricalappliance: If you select
thismode, theInverteroperatingvoltageinLine mode is within
170~280Vac(90~145Vac) with the same output voltage. The line
sensitivityishigher. Hence, you can connect the computersystemsor
otherprecision home equipment whenyou select thismode.
B.Select Wide’setting tosaveenergy: If you select thismode, the
Inverteroperating voltage in Line mode willbe extended within
90~280Vac(50~145Vac) with the same output voltage.The Inverteris
with the lowerline sensitivity.Moreover,there will be taking a long transfer

time when the InvertertransferfromNormalmode to Batterymode during
powerfailure. Hence, you can connect the home equipments, such as
light bulb, fan, fluorescent tube, orTVwhen youselectthismode.
Caution!! If you select the Wide’mode and connectthe computerto the
output ofInverter, the computermayreboot iftheinput voltage istoo low
to beaccepted. In addition,the long transfertime willhappenwhen power
failure makesthe computerreboot.
BatteryConnection
Step1- Pinch the bottomof DC inputcoverandOpenit. See Figure4.
Step2- Following batterypolarityguide located nearbattery
terminal!Place the batterycable ring terminalover
Inverter sbatteryterminal. Tighten the M5 nut. Do not
placeanythingbetween the flat part ofbatteryterminal
and the batterycable ringterminal, oroverheating may
occur.
Caution! DONOT place anything between
batterycable ring terminalsand battery
terminals.The terminalstud isnot designed
to carrycurrent.ApplyAnti-oxidant paste to
terminalsafterterminalshavebeen torqued.

Step3- Connect batterycablestoyourbatteries
lSingle batteryconnection: When using a singlebattery, itsvoltage must
be equaltothevoltage ofInverterNominalInputVoltage (see specs)
12VDC
lForthe useroperation safety,we stronglyrecommend that you should
isolate the batteryterminalsbeforeyou start to operate the unit. Please
referto belowinstruction forfurtherinformation. If you parallelmore
batteriesto extend the backup time, please make sure that you already
use tapesto isolate the restbatteryterminalsbeforeyou start to operate
the unit.
lNote: When connect the inverterand battery,need to string into the fuse
between inverterand battery.

lSeriesbatteryconnection: When using multiplebatteriesin series, all
batteriesmust be equalinvoltage and amp hourcapacity,and the sumof
theirvoltagesmust be equalto the voltage ofInverterNominalInput
Voltage (see specs)
24VDC
lParallelbatteryconnection:When using multiplebatteriesin parallel,each
batterysvoltage must be equalto the voltage ofInverterNominalInput
Voltage (see specs)
AC Connection
Before havingAC connection, match the powerrequirementsofconnected
deviceswith the poweroutput ofInverterto avoidoverload. Consult a
qualifiedelectrician, and followlocalcodeforthe properwire sizes,
connectors and conduit requirements.
