1. GENERAL
1.01 Dimensions inverters have been designed
and manufactured for many user applications and
long life. They utilize patented construction
methods and high technology electronic parts and
circuitry.
1.02
CAUTION: Inverters produce hazardous
voltage. To avoid risk of harm or fire the unit must
be properly installed. There are no user service-
able parts inside, do not remove the cover.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be mounted in
a location that may be exposed to rain or spray.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be installed in
a zero clearance enclosure.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing
the DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if an
external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC output or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: The inverter contains a circuit breaker
and capacitor that may produce a spark. Do not
mount in a confined battery or gas compartment.
CAUTION: Working in the vicinity of lead - acid
batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explo-
sive gases during operation. There is a risk of acid
exposure. There is also a risk of high current
discharge from shorting the battery that can cause
fire and explosion.
CAUTION: Be sure the inverter's circuit breaker or
fuse are turned "OFF" during installation.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.01 The inverter converts 12 VDC to 120
VAC, 60 HZ, having a pure-sine wave form.
2.02 The inverter has a controlled frequency
at 60 HZ + 0.6Hz.
2.03 The inverter has internal protection
against output short circuit, output overload and
high temperature conditions. Also, there is a
thermally controlled cooling fan.
2.04 The inverter is designed to operate
any 120 VAC, 60 HZ, single phase appliance,
equipment or tool within its power ratings.
