2. Safety Information
Observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the inverter and connected devices:
- Ensure proper ventilation around the inverter. Do not block cooling vents.
- Keep the inverter away from water, moisture, and flammable materials.
- Do not open the inverter casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
- Connect the inverter only to a 24V DC power source.
- Ensure correct polarity when connecting battery cables (positive to positive, negative to negative). Reverse polarity protection is built-in, but incorrect connection can still cause issues.
- Avoid overloading the inverter beyond its continuous power rating of 3000W.
- The inverter features multiple protection mechanisms:
- Input Low Voltage Protection
- Input Over Voltage Protection
- Reverse Polarity Protection
- Overload Protection
- Short Circuit Protection
- Over-temperature Protection

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, well-ventilated area for the inverter, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ensure sufficient space for air circulation around the cooling fan.
- Connect Battery Cables:
- Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the 24V battery bank and the positive (+) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 24V battery bank and the negative (-) terminal on the inverter.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing and overheating.
- Grounding: Connect the inverter's ground wire port to a proper earth ground.
- Connect Remote Controller (Optional): Insert the remote controller cable into the "REMOTE" port on the inverter and the corresponding port on the remote controller.
- AC Terminal Block: For appliances requiring more than 1800 Watts, use the AC terminal block for a direct wired connection. Consult a qualified electrician for this type of installation.

5. Operating Instructions
To operate your EDECOA power inverter:
- Power On: After all connections are secure, switch the ON/OFF button on the inverter to the "ON" position. The indicator light should illuminate. Alternatively, use the remote controller to switch the inverter ON.
- Connect Appliances: Plug your AC appliances into the inverter's AC outlets or ensure they are properly connected to the AC terminal block.
- Monitor Load: Avoid exceeding the inverter's continuous power rating (3000W). The inverter will provide a surge power of up to 6000W for brief periods (less than 10ms) for starting motors.
- Remote Controller Functions: The remote controller allows you to switch the inverter ON/OFF and provides visual indicators for battery capacity and low input voltage warnings.
- Power Off: When finished, switch the ON/OFF button on the inverter or the remote controller to the "OFF" position.
