MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE
The output waveform of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED
SINEWAVE. To measure the AC output voltage, you
must use a TRUE RMS VOLTMETER.
RECOMMENDED BATTERY CONFIGURATION FOR
HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATION
Heavy-duty alternators rated above 120 Amps should be
used and they are available from RV, marine or auto
parts suppliers. These alternators are designed to
directly replace standard alternators but produce the
higher current and voltage required to charge multiple
battery systems.
An isolator is used to separate the vehicle’s system
batteries and the auxiliary batteries.
We recommend using the same deep cycle type of
batteries in the battery banks.
Notes
The above system should be installed properly. You
need to contact the RV or auto experts for some
instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Do not open the case of the inverter. The high voltage
inside the unit is the same type of power as your
electrical outlets at home.
Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance’s cord
get wet.
Do not operate the inverter in or around water. The
voltage of the unit makes electrical shock hazard if
operated in wet conditions.
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC
power source.
Keep it away from children, the inverter produces power
just like your AC wall outlets at home and should be
treated seriously.
Allow at least 2 inch of clearance around the inverter for
airflow.
If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need
to secure the inverter to prevent it from shifting around
while the vehicle is moving.
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all
of the power.
