The International Series GFX inverters are designed for harsher environments and can survive casual
exposure to the elements. However, enclosed protection is still recommended. These inverters have
an internal fan, but do not use outside air for cooling.

¾ GFX1312E (1.3 kVA output, 12 Vdc)
¾ GFX1424E (1.4 kVA output, 24 Vdc)
¾ GFX1448E (1.4 kVA output, 48 Vdc)

Inverter model numbers use the following naming conventions.

¾ Grid-interactive models (all models in this series) begin with the letter G. For example, model GFX1424E is

grid-interactive; model VFX3524 is not.

¾ The model number includes “FX” as the inverter series.
¾ The first two digits show the wattage of that model. For example, “GFX1312E” is 1300 watts.
¾ The second pair of digits shows the inverter’s nominal DC voltage. For example, “GFX1424E” is 24 volts.
¾ The letter “E” at the end of the model number indicates an inverter that can deliver 230 Vac at 50 Hz.

¾ Battery-to-AC inverting which delivers 230 Vac at 50 Hz
¾ AC-to-battery charging
¾ Rapid transfer between AC source and inverter output

with minimal delay time

¾ Inverter load support for a small AC source
