6. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to safely set up your LVYUAN Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter:
- Choose a Location: Place the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ensure there is enough space around the inverter for proper airflow to the cooling fans.
- Prepare the Battery: Ensure your battery is fully charged and capable of providing the necessary current. Verify the battery voltage matches your inverter's input voltage (12V or 24V).
- Connect Battery Cables:
- Connect the RED battery cable to the inverter's RED Positive (+) terminal.
- Connect the BLACK battery cable to the inverter's BLACK Negative (-) terminal.
- Connect the other end of the RED cable to the battery's Positive (+) terminal.
- Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to the battery's Negative (-) terminal.
Important: Ensure connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause excessive heat and damage to the inverter or battery. Always connect the inverter to the battery first, then turn on the inverter.
- Initial Power On: Once the battery cables are securely connected, switch the inverter's ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The LED indicator should light up, and the digital displays will show the battery voltage and AC output voltage.
- Connect Appliances: With the inverter powered on, you can now plug your AC appliances into the inverter's AC sockets.
7. Operating Instructions
Operating your LVYUAN inverter is straightforward:
- Turning On/Off: Use the main ON/OFF switch on the inverter's front panel. For remote operation, use the provided remote control. Press button 'A' to turn on and button 'B' to turn off.
- Monitoring Displays: The dual LCD displays provide real-time information:
- Battery Voltage: Shows the DC input voltage from your battery. Monitor this to ensure your battery does not discharge too low.
- AC Output Voltage: Displays the stable AC voltage being supplied to your appliances.
- Some models may also display Current, Temperature, and Frequency (refer to Figure 6).

- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry, soft cloth. Ensure the cooling fan vents are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Connection Check: Regularly inspect battery cable connections for tightness and corrosion. Clean any corrosion with a wire brush and baking soda solution.
- Ventilation: Always ensure the inverter has adequate ventilation. Do not block the cooling fan or air vents.
- Storage: If storing the inverter for an extended period, disconnect it from the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your inverter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter does not turn on | Loose battery connections, low battery voltage, faulty fuse, inverter switch off | Check and tighten battery cables. Charge battery. Check inverter fuse (if accessible and user-replaceable). Turn on inverter switch. |
| No AC output, alarm sounds | Overload, low battery voltage, over-voltage, over-temperature, short circuit | Reduce load. Charge battery. Check battery voltage. Allow inverter to cool down. Disconnect faulty appliance. |
| AC output voltage is incorrect | Incorrect input voltage, faulty inverter | Verify battery voltage is within specified range. Contact support if issue persists. |
| Cooling fan constantly running or not running | High internal temperature, fan malfunction | Ensure adequate ventilation. Clean fan vents. If fan does not run when hot, contact support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
10. User Tips
While no specific user tips were available from provided data, here are some general recommendations for optimal use:
- For sensitive electronics, always use a pure sine wave inverter like this one to prevent damage.
- Consider the surge power requirements of your appliances. Many motors (refrigerators, pumps) require a higher startup current than their continuous rating.
- When using the inverter in a vehicle, ensure the engine is running to prevent draining the vehicle's battery.
- Always disconnect the inverter from the battery when not in use for extended periods to prevent parasitic drain.
