Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your EDECOA 2000W Power Inverter. This device converts 12V DC battery power into 110V/120V AC household power, suitable for various applications in vehicles, RVs, and off-grid setups. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.
Safety Instructions
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter. Do not block cooling vents.
- Environment: Operate the inverter in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials.
- Connection: Always connect the inverter to a 12V DC power source. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Reverse polarity can damage the unit.
- Grounding: Properly ground the inverter to prevent electrical shock.
- Load Capacity: Do not exceed the inverter's rated power output (2000W continuous, 4000W peak). Overloading can cause damage or fire.
- Water/Moisture: Keep the inverter away from water, rain, and excessive humidity.
- Children: Keep out of reach of children.
- Maintenance: Do not attempt to open or service the inverter yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Appliance Compatibility: This modified sine wave inverter is suitable for most resistive loads. It is not recommended for sensitive electronics or appliances with motors (e.g., coffee makers, microwaves) that require pure sine wave power.

Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your inverter. Follow these steps carefully:
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area for the inverter. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for airflow, especially around the cooling fans.
- Prepare Battery: Ensure your 12V DC battery is fully charged and in good condition. For optimal performance, use a battery with sufficient capacity (e.g., 100AH or 200AH for 2000W inverter).
- Grounding: Connect the ground wire from the inverter's ground terminal to a reliable earth ground point (e.g., vehicle chassis, ground rod).
- Connect Battery Cables:
- Connect the RED battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the other end of the RED cable to the positive (+) terminal of the 12V battery.
- Connect the BLACK battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V battery.
WARNING: Ensure correct polarity. Reverse polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.
- Connect Remote Control (Optional): If using the remote control, plug its RJ45 cable into the "Remote Controller" port on the inverter's front panel.
- Initial Power On: Once all connections are secure, switch the inverter's main power button to the "ON" position. The LCD display should illuminate, indicating the inverter is operational.
