See chart below 1 x set 4 Awg 3 Grounding The power inverter has a lug on the rear panel marked chassis ground This is to connect the chassis of the power inverter to the ground The ground terminals in the AC oulets on the front panel of the inverter are also connected to the ground lug The chassis ground lug must be connected to a grounding point which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed In a vehicle connect the chassis ground to the chassis of the vehicle In a boat connect to the boat s grounding systems In a fixed location connect the chassis ground lug to an earth point which will vary depending on where the power inverter is installed The neutral common conductor of the power inverter AC output circuit is connected to the chassis ground Therefore when the chassis is connected to ground the neutral conductor will also be grounded This conforms to national electrical code requirements that separately derived AC sources such as inverters and generators have their neutral tied to ground in the same way that the neutral conductor from the the utility line is tied to ground at the AC breaker panel Caution The Negative DC input of the power inverter is connected to the chassis DO not install the power inverter in a positive ground DC system A positive ground DC system has the positive terminal of the battery connected to the chassis of the vehicle or to the grounding point Warning Do not operate
3. on and off It does not disconnect power from the power inverter When the switch is in the OFF position the power inverter draws no current from battery When the switch is in the ON position but with no load the power inverter draws less than 1 Amp Battery voltage indicator The battery voltage bar graph indicates the voltage at the input terminals of the power inverter At low input current this voltage is very close to the battery voltage At high input current this voltage will be lower than the battery voltage because of the voltage drop across the cables and connections 7
4. other indicators should be off 7 Set the power inverter switch to the OFF position the indicator lights may blink and the internal alarm may sound momentarily This is normal Plug the test load into the AC receptacle on the front panel of the inverter Leave the test load switch off 8 Set the power inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test load on the inverter should supply power to the load If you plan to measure the true output R M S voltage of the inverter a meter such as a FLUKE 87A BACKMAN 4410 or TRIPLETT 4200 must be used Installation 1 Where to install The power inverter should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements a Dry Do not allow water to drip or splash onto the inverter b Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 0C and 40C the cooler the better c Ventilation Allow at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for air flow Ensure the ventilation openings on the rear and bottom of the unit are not obstructed d Safety Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries or in any compartment capable of storing flammable liquids such as gasoline the power delivered to the food not the power actually consumed by the microwave oven The microwave oven will consume 40 to 100 more than its advertised cooking power Check the rating sticker on the back of the oven to determine its actual power draw The 5000W inverter will operate small microwave
5. the power inverter without connecting it to ground Electrical shock hazard may result 4 Battery Cable connections When you connect the AC inverter to the battery terminals it is important to connect the wire to the terminal and the wire to the terminal a See connection graph below Warning Only connect to the ac Terminal Block when the inverter is turned off and disconnected from the dc power source IF YOU CONNECT THE WIRES TO THE INCORRECT TERMINALS YOU WILL REVERSE THE POLARITY AND WILL INSTANTLY VOID THE WARRANTY OF YOUR INVERTER SO BE CAREFUL TO CONNECT YOUR INPUT WIRES PROPERLY Caution 1 To avoid any touch between the battery cords terminals the directions of both and battery cords terminals must be the same or away from each other Please also be sure to secure them tightly 2 When you connect the battery cables to the terminals of the inverter please make sure they do not touch the case Operation To operate the power inverter turn it on using the ON OFF switch on the front panel The power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads If you are operating several loads from the power inverter turn them on separately after the inverter has been turned on This will ensure that the power inverter does not have to deliver the starting currents for all the loads at once Controls and indicators The ON OFF switch turns the control circuit in the power inverter
6. voltage is allowed to exceed 60V Trorbleshooting 1 Common problems a Buzz in audio systems Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes will emit a buzzing noise from their loudspeakers when operated from the power inverter This is because the power supply in the device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the power inverter The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality power supply b Television interference Operation of the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some channels If this situation occurs the following steps may help to alleviate the problem Make sure that the chassis ground lug on the back of the power inverter is solidly connected to the ground system of your vehicle boat or home Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching television Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate snow free signal and that you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the television Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible 10 Quick hook up and testing If you would like to quickly hook up the power inverter and check its performance before going ahead with your installation please follow these guidelines 1 Unpack and inspect the power inverter check to see that the power switch is in the OFF position 2 Connect the cables to the pow
