becomes operational only when a connection is made between the two terminals
of the remote input. A switch may be placed between the two terminals and the
inverter can then be turned off using the switch. A ⅛” (3.0 mm) precision
screwdriver is recommended for tightening the two terminals. It is recommended
that a #18 gauge wire no longer than 150 feet (45.72 m) (terminal to terminal) is
used for this application.
Never connect live AC or DC conductors to the remote
terminals.
6.0 Operating limits
6.1 Power output
Some induction motors used in refrigerators, freezers, pumps, and other motor-
operated equipment require very high surge currents to start. The inverter may
not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is
within the power rating of inverter. Televisions and computer monitors may surge
up to four times their rated power on startup, which may result in the inverter
showing an overload fault.
6.2 Input voltage
The inverter operates at the following input voltage ranges:
12 V
: 10.5 to 15.0 V
24 V
: 21.0 to 30.0 V
The inverter shuts down if the input voltage drops below:
12 V
: 10.5 V
24 V
: 21.0 V
This protects your battery from being over discharged.
The inverter also shuts down if the input voltage exceeds:
12 V
: 15.0 V
24 V
: 30.0 V
This protects the inverter against excessive input voltage. Although the inverter
incorporates protection against over voltage, it may still be damaged if the input
voltage is allowed to exceed:
12 V
: 16.0 V
24 V
: 35.0 V
