Please read safety instructions on pages 1-2 before commencing installation.
installation environment
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on fl at surface, such as the ground,
car fl oor, or other solid surface. The power cord allows easy positioning of the inverter. The
inverter should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria:
Dry- Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the power inverter. In
all marine applications, do not install the inverter below or near the waterline and keep the
inverter away from moisture or water.
If Flooded / Wet Cell Type of battery is being used, ensure that it is not installed very close to
the battery to avoid contact with acid / acid vapors
cool -
Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C (32°F) to 25°C (77°F) for full rated
power. At higher temperature of 26°C (79°F) to 35°C (95°F), the output power should be
de-rated to 80%. Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equip-
ment, which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct
sunlight.
Ventilated -
The unit is cooled by load-controlled fan. The fan will be off up to certain thresh-
old of power and automatically switch on thereafter. The fan sucks cool air in from the venti-
lation slots on the AC outlet side and discharges hot air out of the fan opening (9) on the DC
