Power Inverter DC Input Connection:

• Connect one end of the negative DC input cable to the Power Inverter DC negative terminal (black).
Connect the other end of the negative DC input cable to the battery negative terminal.
• Make sure the Disconnect Switch is in the OFF position.
• Connect one end of the positive DC input cable to the Power Inverter DC positive terminal (red).
Connect the other end of the positive DC input cable to one of the terminal of the Disconnect Switch.
• Connect a DC input cable between the other terminal of the Disconnect Switch and one side of the
terminal of the fuse holder.
• Connect a DC input cable between the other terminal of the fuse holder and the battery positive
terminal.
• Install the selected fuse to the fuse holder.
• Turn Disconnect Switch to ON position.

Connect unit with optional accessories using the Lighter plug cable:

CAUTION:

Due to the limitations of the 12V lighter plug socket in vehicles, the unit should be used with

the DC cable with lighter plug only to supply AC power to products that require 150W (120VAC/1.3 A or
230V 0.65A) or less. If the appliance requires more than 150W, use the optional DC cable clips for battery
connection.
• Attach the red ring-type connector to the positive (+) DC terminal (red) on the power inverter and
connect the black ring type connector to the negative (-) DC terminal (black) on the Power inverter.
• Tighten the nut on each DC terminal.
• Insert the light plug of this cable to the fused 12V lighter plug socket.
• Unit is ready for use.

Connect unit with optional accessories using the Battery clips cable:

CAUTION:

Please be sure all the connections are tight before the use of the unit.

• Attach the red ring-type connector to the positive (+) DC terminal (red) on the power inverter and
connect the black ring type connector to the negative (-) DC terminal (black) on the Power inverter.
• Attach the negative (black) clip to the negative (-) battery terminal.
• Attach the positive (red) clip to the fuse or circuitry breaker of the 12V battery bank as indicated on
‘Typical Wiring block diagram of the Power Inverter’ .
• Unit is ready for use.

Test the Power Inverter:

• Turn unit on by using the On/Off button on the unit. The ‘Power’ light turns on indicating the KISAE

Power Inverter is ON. AC output is now available.

• Plug in a small AC load like a 25W table lamp or small appliance to the AC socket to verify AC is

available.

• The unit is successfully installed and functioning properly.

Test the GFCI monthly (120V-SW1204 series only, Not Required for 230V-SW1204i
series):

• Use the following instruction to perform a monthly test on the GFCI to ensure the GFCI is functioning

properly.

• Turn unit on and plug a small AC load (40W light bulbs) to the GFCI.
• Check the AC load is ON.

4. UNIT OPERATION

WARNING:

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

• Do not plug surge-protected power bars into the unit’s AC outlets. The surge protected Components

on the surge-protected power bar may not like the modified sine wave output generate by the

inverter.

• Do not connect an AC power source like utility power or generator to the unit AC outlets.

Turn ON and OFF the unit
• Toggle the On/Off switch to ‘ON’ position to turn unit ON.
• ‘Power’ indicator will turn green.
• AC O utput is available at the AC output socket. (For SW1204 and SW1204i series, 5V USB is also
available.)
• Toggle the On/Off switch to ‘Off’ position to turn unit off. ‘Power’ indicator will turn off.

Understanding the LED indicators
‘Power’ indicator: Indicator turn on indicate unit is ON.
‘Fault’ indicator:

Indicator turns on indicate fault was detected. Unit has shutdown. To reset

unit, remove the fault condition and reset unit by using the toggle switch and
turn unit off and on again.

Understanding the fan operation
The fan on the unit will automatically turns on when it sense the internal temperature of the unit reach to
its preset level.

AC Load on Power Inverter
Although the Power Inverter can provide high surge power up to two times the rated output power, some
appliances may still trigger on the inverter protection system. A higher power inverter is required for those
appliances.
For MW1204 series, with modified sine wave output, some appliances like speed controllers found in
some fans, power tools and some power tools’ AC charger may not like the modified sine wave generate
by the inverter, those appliances may not work or may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter.
If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device..

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

To trouble shoot the unit, please note the error code display on the main unit and review the
“Understanding the Error Codes” in section 4.

Problem

Symptom

Solution

The unit is off

Turn unit ON using the toggle switch

No AC output and
‘Power’ indicator is
off.

No power to inverter

Check fuse or the Disconnect switch (if
installed) is either blown or turn OFF

No AC output. ‘Fault’
indicator is ON

Unit detect fault and has
shutdown

Verify the error condition and make
correction and reset unit

Products connected to
unit malfunction or
overheat (MW1204
series)

Products connected to unit
do not accept modified
sine wave output
generated by the inverter

Products are not compatible with the
modified sine wave output generated by
inverter. See “AC Load on Power
Inverter” in Section 4. Use KISAE Power
Inverter with sine wave output
