Introduction

Depending on your inverter capacity, larger electrical appliances such
as coffee pots and hair dryers can be used for short durations. How-
ever, loads that are used for longer periods such as stoves or water
heaters can quickly drain your batteries and are not recommended
for inverter applications.
All electrical appliances are rated by the amount of power they
consume. The rating is printed on the product’s nameplate label,
usually located on its chassis near the AC power cord. Even though
it is diffi cult to calculate exactly how long an inverter will run a par-
ticular appliance, the best advice is trial and error. Your MMS Series
inverter/charger has a built-in safeguard that automatically protects
your batteries from being over-discharged.
1.5 Standard Features and Benefi ts
The MMS Series inverter/charger converts 12 volts of direct cur-
rent (VDC) power from your battery to 120 volts alternating current
(VAC) power.
The multi-stage battery charger optimizes incoming AC
power using Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology to keep the
inverter’s battery bank fully charged. This inverter is designed to allow
easy installation and use, and with its die-cast aluminum baseplate
it ensures maximum durability and cooler, more effi cient operation.
The inverter/charger provides the following:
• 1000 watts continuous at 25°C.
• Numerous protection features to provide a safe and peace-of-
mind operation.
• AC transfer switch circuitry; allowing incoming AC power to
continue to pass-thru to power loads even if the inverter is off.
• Dead battery charging for batteries that are extremely low.
• Automatic 4-stage battery charger with power factor correction
and temperature compensation—for optimum battery charging
(using the temperature sensor).
• Modern and aesthetically pleasing design with a large AC wiring
compartment (provides easy access to AC wiring for simple and
quick connections) and 360° DC connection terminals with color
coded insulating covers.
• True RMS output voltage regulation to ensure the inverter will
deliver the correct amount of power—within the DC input voltage
range and the continuous output power level.
• Quick connection accessory and remote ports—easily accepts sev-
eral optional remote controls and the battery temperature sensor.
