Elite™ 400W PRO Pure Sine Wave
DC to AC Power Inverter. Read and understand this manual before installing and
operating this inverter. Keep this manual for future use.
The "PRO" model represents numerous improvements to our first generation of
Elite pure sine inverters that meet the needs of more demanding environments—
providing clean power at an affordable price. It delivers a true AC sine wave
identical to that of commercial power. Use this inverter to power AC appliances
in your vehicle. Pure Sine Wave AC means that your sensitive electronics, such
as audio/video systems, computers, and communications equipment will operate
properly. Furthermore, appliances with motors operate cooler, quieter, and more
efficiently when they are powered by pure sine wave AC.
The inverter is powered from 12 volt DC and it will continuously deliver 400 watts
AC power at 120 volts, 60 Hz. Superior surge capability of 800 watts allows the
inverter to start most difficult motorized appliances. Advanced microprocessor-
controlled circuits run cooler and are more reliable than competing units. The
Elite™ 400W PRO operates at high efficiency (up to 90%), that results in long
run time and extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level
of power output. A 2.1A USB power port provides a convenient way to power
USB devices, including smartphones, tablets and e-readers, and other mobile
electronics.
The DC terminals have been designed apart from each other to ease installation
and minimize the risk of accidental shortage when handling the DC cables. This
inverter bonds neutral to ground, just like utility power. The enclosure vents have
been minimized to reduce the risk of pest intrusion in arid tropical climates.
The Wagan Elite™ 400W PRO Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable
addition to your compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and
proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service.
