Page 8: Wiring Guide
Wiring Guide WARNING: The output voltage of this unit must never be connected in its input AC terminal, overload or damage may result. Always switch on the AC Wiring Connection inverter before plugging in any appliance. 110V Single Phase This connection method is completely optional. We recommend using 10 -12 AWG wires for AC terminal block connection. - Page 9 • The stability and safety of this product can be improved by using one shorter- thicker cable. Therefor, if in doubt, round up in wire size and keep the length as short as possible. Another important aspect of your power system is to take into consideration the cable material.

Page 10: Ac/Dc Operation
AC/DC Operation Basic Connection Below is a typical example of what the electrical system is like. Shore power also known as AC Input ows through the inverter-charger to provide AC power guarded by breakers or fuses while charging the battery bank. The same concept applies while under battery power, as the inverter will be powered by DC (battery) and then convert- ed to AC while protected with battery speci c fuses and breakers. - Page 11 the inverter while simultaneously charging the battery bank this is also known as the bypass function. Charging can be turned off by setting Battery Type switch to 0. (See page 10) • When shore power is disconnected, the inverter automatically switches to solar/battery bank power in 5ms.
- Page 12 Battery Type Selections and Priority Switch Different kinds of batteries have varying charging algorithms. In order to protect your power system, our inverter is designed to be suitable for a variety of different types of batteries. On the top of the inverter, you can choose the battery type to your needs using the Battery Type Dial and the Battery Type Settings Table below to ensure that your battery is with in optimal condition.

- Page 18 Appliance Variables Duty Cycles: All appliances have operation behaviors but most commonly run on a constant wattage consumption. Other appliances function on variables that change there power consumption. Variables can be environment temperature, specific conditions, set or automatic functions. These are known as Duty Cycles or Power Cycles which is the fraction of a period that the appliance is active.
- Page 19 Starting / Surge Watts Starting Surges: An initial surge of electrical power that lasts for less than a second but is necessary for appliance start up and operation. Starting surges can typically be found on appliances with motors or compressors, they are usually 2 to 3 times the appliance’s rated running watts.
