Connecting to Battery
- Ensure the inverter is switched OFF.
- Connect the supplied 20 mm² cable to the DC input terminals on the rear of the inverter. Ensure positive (+) is connected to positive and negative (-) to negative.
- Connect the other end of the cables to your 12V deep cycle battery. Use appropriate fuses or circuit breakers as recommended for your system.
- Tighten all connections securely to prevent loose contacts and arcing.
Connecting AC Loads
Plug your AC appliances directly into the 230V AC outlets on the front of the inverter. Ensure the total power consumption of your appliances does not exceed 2000W.
Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
- Ensure all DC and AC connections are correctly made.
- Press the main power switch on the front of the inverter to the 'ON' position. The indicator lights will illuminate.
- To power off, switch the main power switch to the 'OFF' position.
Using the Remote Control
The included remote control allows you to power the inverter on or off from a distance, which is convenient when the inverter is installed in an inaccessible location.

- Connect the remote control cable to the designated port on the inverter.
- Use the switch on the remote control to turn the inverter ON or OFF.
Indicator Lights
The inverter features LED indicators that provide status information and alert you to potential issues:
- Green LED: Indicates normal operation.
- Red LED: Indicates a fault or protection mode (e.g., overload, over-temperature, low voltage). Refer to the Troubleshooting section for details.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Connection Check: Regularly inspect all DC and AC connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
- Battery Health: Ensure your battery is well-maintained and charged to prolong its lifespan and the inverter's performance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter does not turn on | Loose battery connection; Low battery voltage; Blown fuse | Check battery connections; Charge battery; Replace fuse (if applicable and safe to do so) |
| No AC output | Overload; Over-temperature; Low/High input voltage | Reduce load; Allow inverter to cool; Check battery voltage |
| Red LED indicator is on | Overload; Over-temperature; Input voltage out of range; Short circuit | Identify and resolve the specific fault condition. Disconnect loads, check connections, allow cooling. |
| Fan not operating | Normal operation (fan activates under load/temperature); Fan malfunction | Ensure inverter is under load or operating at higher temperatures. If no fan operation under load, contact support. |
