ON/OFF�SWITCH
This�switch�turns�the�inverter�ON�and�OFF.
OVER�TEMP�LED
This�indicator�turns�RED�as�the�inverter�shuts�down�because�of�excessive�
temperature.�Immediately�turn�off�appliances�if�this�occurs.�Allow�the�inverter�to�cool�
before�continuing.�Internal�high-speed�cooling�fans�automatically�turn�on�when�the�
inverter�is�switched�on�to�provide�instant�cooling.�The�inverter�may�overheat�when�it�
is�being�used�in�a�location�that�does�not�allow�for�adequate�ventilation.
OVERLOAD�LED�
This�indicator�turns�RED�as�the�inverter�shuts�down�from�an�overload�condition.�
Immediately�turn�off�some�appliances�to�reduce�the�load.�If�the�continuous�combined�
power�requirement�of�appliances�exceeds�the�inverters�continuous�rating,�the�inverter�
will�overload.�Sometime�an�appliance�with�very�high�start-up�load�will�cause�an�
inverter�to�shut�down.�If�battery�condition�and�cables�do�not�support�the�load,�then�
a�more�batteries�and�heavier�cables�may�be�required.
BAR�GRAPH�DISPLAYS
The�inverter�is�equipped�with�two�bar�graph�displays�to�monitor�DC�input�to�the�inverter.�
These�are�used�to�help�diagnose�problems�if�they�occur.
VOLTS BAR GRAPH:
This�inverter�operates�with�input�voltage�ranging�from���.��to��5�volts�of�direct�
current�(DC).�If�the�inverter�input�voltage�level�drops�below���.5�volts�DC,�
an�alarm�will�sound.�When�input�voltage�drops�below����volts,�the�inverter�
automatically�shuts�down.�This�display�is�a�measurement�of�the�voltage�at�the�
DC�terminals�of�the�inverter,�not�actual�battery�voltage.�During�high�wattage�
applications�the�display�may�show�a�lower�voltage�level�than�battery�voltage�
because�of�cable�voltage�drop�that�occurs�between�the�DC�input�terminals�and�
the�battery.�Generally,�cable�voltage�drop�should�not�exceed��.�5�to��.5�volts,�
because�greater�voltage�drop�can�seriously�reduce�appliance�run�time.
While�charging�from�a�generator,�solar�panel�or�AC�powered�charger,�battery�
voltage�will�be�higher�than�when�the�battery�is�resting.�This�inverter�will�
automatically�shut�down�if�the�input�voltage�is��7�volts�or�higher.�Voltages�that�
are�greater�than��5�may�cause�damage�to�the�inverter.�Damage�caused�by�
excessive�voltage�input�is�not�covered�under�warranty.�
AMPS BAR GRAPH:
This�display�indicates�actual�DC�amperes�of�current�being�drawn�from�the�
battery�bank.�Note�that�the�AMPS�display�indicates�a�range�of�����to�6���
amps.�Current�less�than�����amps�is�not�displayed.�Note�that�for�a�����Amp�
reading�the�inverter�should�be�powering��,����watts�of�AC�load.
FOUR���5V�AC�OUTLETS
Each�outlet�will�supply��5�amps,���5V�AC�maximum�for�powering�appliances.��
Greater�than��65��watts�continuous�power�from�an�outlet�may�cause�damage�to�the�
inverter�and�cause�possible�injury.
HIGH�OUTPUT�AC�TERMINALS�
There�are�three�insulated�terminals�on�the�front�panel�of�the�inverter.�These�terminals�
are�for�connecting���5�volt�AC�devices�that�require�more�than��5�amps�to�operate.�
Other�uses�are�for�connection�to�distributed�wiring�that�has�multiple�AC�outlets.�Any�
wiring�that�is�directly�connected�must�be����gage�or�larger.�Facing�the�front�panel,�
the�terminals�are:
Left
Middle
Right
Earth�(Ground)
Neutral
Live�(Hot)
NEUTRAL�and�EARTH�are�bonded�inside�the�inverter�to�comply�with�the�National�
Electric�Code�(NEC)�requirement�that�any�AC�source�must�have�a�neutral�to�ground�
connection.
