5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your inverter generator.

1. **Choose a Location:** Place the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ensure the cooling fans are not obstructed.
2. **Prepare the Battery:** Ensure your battery is fully charged and matches the inverter's input voltage (12V or 24V). The battery capacity should be sufficient for your intended load.
3. **Connect Battery Cables:**
   • Connect the **red** battery cable to the **positive (+)** terminal of the inverter and the **positive (+)** terminal of your battery.
   • Connect the **black** battery cable to the **negative (-)** terminal of the inverter and the **negative (-)** terminal of your battery.
   • **IMPORTANT:** Double-check connections to ensure correct polarity. Reverse polarity will damage the inverter and blow the internal fuse. Use only the provided standard battery cables.
4. **Initial Power On:** Once the battery cables are securely connected, switch the AC ON/OFF switch on the inverter to the 'ON' position. The digital display should light up, indicating the input voltage.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the inverter is set up and powered on, you can connect your devices.

1. **Connecting AC Appliances:**
   • Ensure the inverter's AC ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
   • Plug your AC appliance into one of the EU standard sockets on the inverter.
   • Turn on your appliance.
   • **Note:** The total continuous power consumption of all connected AC appliances must not exceed the inverter's continuous output power (1300W for 4000W model, 1700W for 5000W model).
2. **Connecting USB Devices:**
   • Plug your USB charging cable into one of the USB ports (5V/1A, 5V/2A, or QC) on the inverter.
   • Connect the other end to your device.
   • The inverter will automatically begin charging.
3. **Connecting Type-C Devices:**
   • Plug your Type-C charging cable into the PD 20W Type-C port on the inverter.
   • Connect the other end to your compatible device.
   • The inverter will provide fast charging.
4. **Using with Car Plug (Limited Power):**
   • If using a car cigarette lighter plug adapter (not included, but often used for low-power inverters), ensure the total power draw does not exceed **200 watts**. Exceeding this limit can damage the car's electrical system or the inverter.
5. **Running Inductive Loads:**
   • For appliances with motors (e.g., refrigerators, freezers, power drills, washing machines, water pumps, microwaves, ovens, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers), their starting power (surge power) can be significantly higher than their running power.
   • It is recommended to choose an inverter with a continuous power rating 3-7 times higher than the device's rated power for long-term inductive load operation. This inverter is Pure Sine Wave, which is ideal for such loads, but power matching is still crucial.
6. **Monitoring:** Observe the digital display for input voltage and listen for the cooling fans. The fans will run when the inverter is powered on and stop after a few seconds if the temperature is low. They will run continuously if the internal temperature exceeds 122°F (50°C).

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your inverter.

• **Cleaning:** Keep the inverter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• **Ventilation:** Regularly check that the cooling fan vents are clear and unobstructed. Blocked vents can lead to overheating and reduced performance.
• **Cable Connections:** Periodically inspect battery cable connections for tightness and corrosion. Clean terminals if necessary.
• **Storage:** When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the inverter from the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
• **Fuse Replacement (Advanced Users Only):** If the inverter stops working due to incorrect positive/negative terminal connection, the internal fuse may have blown. Fuse replacement should only be attempted by qualified personnel. Opening the inverter may void the warranty.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your inverter, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

9. User Tips

Here are some additional tips for optimizing your inverter's performance and lifespan:

• **Battery Matching:** Always ensure your battery voltage (12V or 24V) matches the inverter model. A larger battery capacity will allow for greater electrical power output and longer run times.
• **Calculating Battery Power:** The approximate power a battery can provide can be estimated as: Battery Voltage (V) * Battery Capacity (AH) * 0.8. For example, a 12V 60AH battery can support approximately 12 * 60 * 0.8 = 576W of appliances.
• **Appliance Power:** Before connecting, check the power consumption of your appliances. It's always best to have some headroom, so the inverter's rated power should ideally be higher than the total power of your connected devices.
• **Inductive Loads:** While this is a pure sine wave inverter, which is excellent for inductive loads, be mindful of their high starting current. If you plan to run such devices for a long time, ensure the inverter's continuous power is significantly higher than the device's rated power.
