1. Powering Protective features Low battery alarm An alarm will sound when the voltage from the battery drops to 10 5 volts DC This indicates that the battery the PowerSource is connected to will require recharging If connected to a vehicle battery starting the vehicle engine should be sufficient The Powersource will automatically shutdown if its voltage is allowed to drop to 9 5 volts DC or below Over voltage protection The PowerSource will automatically shutdown if the input voltage exceeds 15 volts DC Reverse polarity protection Reverse polarity incorrect battery connection may result in the blowing of the internal blade fuses If this occurs immediately disconnect the battery The internal blade fuses will need to be checked by a qualified electrician if the PowerSource does not continue to work Overload protection The PowerSource will automatically shut down if the continuous power draw exceeds its maximum rating of the PowerSource Temperature protection If the temperature of the internal heat sink reaches gt 650C the Powersource will shut down automatically Allow the PowerSource to cool before using again Troubleshooting guide Problem Low output voltage Low battery alarm on all the time No Power output Possible Cause PowerSource is overloaded Inadequate power or excessive voltage drop Poor battery condition PowerSource not fully warmed up Internal fuses have blown PowerSource in thermal shutdown condi2. e correct polarity RINV2000 Switch off the RINV2000 PowerSource The RINV2000 PowerSource comes complete with x 2 positive connecting cables and x 2 negative connecting cables that are to be connected onto the back of the PowerSource using the sockets Do not over tighten and check no wires are exposed Observe correct polarity Red positive Black negative The other end of the cable is to be attached directly to the battery terminals again be sure to observe the correct polarity Connecting your PowerSource Connect the Powersource input to the vehicle leisure battery using the cables supplied Ensure the load requirements are within the parameters of the PowerSource output plug your appliance into the socket of the PowerSource Ensure the PowerSource is switched off prior to plugging any accessories and connecting to battery or power supply Caution Some rechargeable products have a charger that is designed to be plugged directly into mains sockets These can damage the PowerSource When first using a rechargeable product monitor its temperature for 10 minutes to ensure overheating does not occur Caution Do not operate the Inverter without connecting to ground Fuse replacement RINV1000 30amp x 4 internal blade fuses RINV2000 30amp x 8 internal blade fuses Please consult a qualified electrician to replace any fuses Positioning of PowerSource The following points should be noted e The PowerSource is not water

4. nditions or practices that could result in damage to your PowerSource or to equipment that you are using with it CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK Before removing any cables from the battery or regulated power supply that are supplying the PowerSource ensure all accessories are unplugged and that the switch on the inverter is left ON Although the PowerSource is unplugged internal capacitors will continue to hold a charge of power by leaving the switch ON this ensures that this additional power is discharged via the PowerSource circuits Output Waveform The output waveform is referred to as Square wave or Modified sine wave It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power A waveform of this nature is suitable for most appliances Caution e When connecting the PowerSource directly to a battery or other power supply ensure that you observe correct polarity Ensure the red positive lead is clamped to the positive battery terminal and the black negative lead is attached to the negative battery terminal e Do not exceed the maximum input voltage 15 volts DC Do not remove the protective cover under any circumstances only by a qualified electrician Improper use of the PowerSource can cause damage to property and possible harm to the user Power Supply The battery or power supply must provide between 10 5 and 14 5 volts DC a car battery will usually provide t
5. proof e The PowerSource should be placed on a ventilated flat surface Do not put the PowerSource on or near sources of direct heat or expose to sunlight Do not place the PowerSource in or around flammable environments Operating tips Note The PowerSource is not designed to run products that provide heat such as hair dryers heaters and irons Note If several loads are to be operated by the inverter turn them on separately after the Inverter has been turned on This will ensure that the Inverter does not have to deliver the peak starting current required for all loads at once
