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 2000 watts continuously. It can deliver 2400 watts for about 30 minutes.The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can resume operation at 2000 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
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
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
