BATTERY USE

 

 

  If you choose to connect the inverter directly to your 

battery terminals, it is important to connect with right 

polarity (connect 

 

from inverter to 

 

of battery 

terminal and connect 

 

from inverter to 

 

of battery 

terminal) 

 

 

CAUTION  

 
THE FOLLOWINGS OPERATION WILL DAMAGE AND 
VOID THE WARRANTY OF THE INVERTER: 

  REVERSE POLARITY BY CONNECTING THE 

WIRES TO THE INCORRECT TERMINALS. 

  CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER TO 

REPLENISH BATTERY WITHOUT 
DISCONNECTING THE INVERTER FIRST. 

  CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO POWER 

SOURCE GREATER THAN 15-VOLT DC. 

  OPERATING THE INVERTER AND BATTERY IN 

OR AROUND WATER. 

 
 

MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE 

 

The output waveform of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED 
SINEWAVE. To measure the AC output voltage, you 
must use a TRUE RMS VOLTMETER. 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

SAFETY PRECAUTION 

 
Do not open the case of the inverter.  The high voltage 
inside the unit is the same type of power as your 
electrical outlets at home. 
 
Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance’s cord 
get wet.   
 
Do not operate the inverter in or around water.  The 
voltage of the unit makes electrical shock hazard if 
operated in wet conditions. 
 
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC 
power source. 
 
Keep it away from children, the inverter produces power 
just like your AC wall outlets at home and should be 
treated seriously. 
 
Allow at least 2 inch of clearance around the inverter for 
airflow. 
 
If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need 
to secure the inverter to prevent it from shifting around 
while the vehicle is moving. 
 
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all 
of the power.
