Introduction

The HI400 Inverter is a modified sine wave (MSW) inverter providing power for a variety of AC loads, such as TVs, VCRs, laptops, camcorders and other small AC devices. They are CSA certified for use in recreational vehicles.

The HI400 is available in two versions:

•“HI400 with hardwire” is designed for permanent hardwired installation.

•“HI400 with hardwire and GFCI outlet” has a GFCI receptable on the front and a hardwire compartment. It provides easy access for plugging a load directly into the output of the unit. The hardwire compartment allows the unit to be installed permanently.

HI400 offers the following inverter features:

•Ability to run many of the entertainment loads that you use at home.

You can operate TVs, stereos, VCRs, computers and even small battery chargers. You can run multiple loads up to 400 watts in total.

•Surge capability

HI400 will surge up to 550 watts peak.

•Low voltage shutdown

The inverter shuts off when your batteries discharge to less than 10 volts.

When the battery voltage recharges to above 12.5 volts, the inverter automatically restarts. This feature prevents the inverter from draining the batteries if it is left on without a load.

•Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)

As well as providing for permanent hardwire installation, the GFCI model provides a receptacle for plugging in a load.
