HTS-324_1224-GD-0114-EN 3
1 Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated and reliable power inverters on the market today. Incorporating
some of the latest technological developments, it will give years of trouble free operation for your truck, boat, R.V. or other.
In order to get the most out of your inverter, the installation procedure must be followed carefully and it must also be properly used.
Please thoroughly read this manual before installing and using your new inverter. It is important to pay special attention to the
CAUTION and WARNING statements in this manual as well as on the inverter. Should the inverter be exposed to rain, moisture,
or strong impact, have it inspected by a qualified technician before use.
WARNING!
The electrical current at the entrance and exit of your inverter may cause severe personal injury; make
certain that you have read and understand all the parts of this manual before installing and using your
inverter.
WARNING!
The inverter produces an electrical current similar to that found in most North American homes, with all
the accompanying dangers. Be sure to install the product out of the reach of children.
1.1 Disclaimer
Electrical codes vary depending on location and the type of installation. Electrical installations must meet local and national wiring
codes and should be performed by a qualified electrician.
The inverter’s specifications are subject to change without notice.
1.2 Output waveform
The AC output of your inverter is regulated to 120 volts and its waveform is called a “Pure Sine Wave.” It is a waveform identical to
the sine waves delivered by utility power.

FRONT PANEL
ON/OFF switch:
The ON/OFF switch turns the inverter’s control circuit ON and OFF. It does not disconnect power from
the inverter; you must disconnect the AC (120 volts) and DC (24 volts) power before working on
any circuits connected to the inverter. When the switch is on but no power is being supplied to a load,
the inverter draws less than 500 mA. This is a very low current draw but left in this state the inverter will
eventually drain your batteries.
AC Outlets:
The maximum output of your inverter can go through any of the two AC outlets.
CAUTION! Leave in the OFF position during the installation.
REAR PANEL
Chassis ground screw:
The chassis ground screw must be properly connected to the chassis of your vehicle before operating the
inverter.
Fan(s):
In order for the inverter to properly operate, the fan(s) opening must never be obstructed. Allow at least
six inches of clearance around the inverter for airflow. All fans are thermostatic and operate upon the
interior temperature of the inverter.
