Introduction

Ease of Use

Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of use:

The inverter is compact, lightweight, and easy to install.

Loads can be powered directly from the AC outlets.

Easy-to-read indicators on the front panel let you monitor system performance at a glance.

Remote On/Off switch lets you control the inverter from a convenient location—up to 20 feet (6 m) away—while the inverter itself is mounted out of sight.

Comprehensive Protection

The inverter is equipped with numerous protection features to guarantee safe and trouble-free operation:

Low battery alarm Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to 11.0 V or lower.

Low battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if the battery voltage drops below 10.5 V. This feature protects the battery from being completely discharged.

High battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if the input voltage rises to 15 V or more.

Overload shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if a short– circuit is detected in the circuitry connected to the inverter’s output, or if the loads connected to the inverter exceed the inverter’s operating limits.

Over-temperature shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if its internal temperature rises above an acceptable level.
