ON/OFF Switch

Turns the control circuit in the inverter On and Off. It does not disconnect power from the inverter.

When the switch is in the Off position, the inverter draws no current from the battery. When it’s in the On position, but no power is being supplied to the load, the inverter draws less than 500 milliamperes from the battery. This is low current draw. It would take more than a week to discharge a 100 ampere- hour battery at this rate.

Don’t worry about excessive drain on the battery if you leave the inverter switched On for a few days. However, do switch it off if you are not planning be recharge the battery within a week or so.

Power Output

The inverter will deliver 1000 watts continuously. It can deliver 1200 watts for about 30 minutes.The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can resume operation at 1000 watts. Note:The wattage rating applies to resistive loads.

The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating. Some induction motors used in freez- ers, pumps and other motor-operated equipment require very high surge currents to start.The invert- er may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within the inverter’s limits.The inverter will normally start sin- gle phase induction motors rated at 1/2 HP or less.

Input Voltage

The inverter will operate from input voltage rang- ing from 10 volts to 15 volts. Optimum perfor- mance will occur when the voltage is between 12 volts and 14 volts. If the voltage drops below 10.5+/-0.3V volts, an audible low battery warning will sound. The inverter will shut down if the input voltage drops below 9.5V+/-0.3V volts. This protects the battery from being over-discharged. It will restart when the input voltage exceeds 10.5V+/-0.3V volts.

The inverter will also shut down if the input volt- age falls to 15.75V +/- 0.75V. This protects the inverter against excessive input voltage. Although the inverter has protection against over-voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage were to exceeds 16 volts.
