Use appropriate screws and anchors for your wall type to securely fasten the inverter. Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
- To power on the inverter, press and hold the power button on the front panel until the LED display illuminates.
- To power off, press and hold the power button again until the display turns off.
4.2 LED Display Information
The LED display provides critical information about the inverter's status, including input voltage, output voltage, frequency, battery charge level, and any active warnings or errors.
4.3 Inverter Mode
When the inverter is powered on and connected to a 12V DC battery, it will convert the DC power to 230V AC for your connected appliances. Ensure the total wattage of your appliances does not exceed the inverter's rated power of 700W.
4.4 Charging Function
When the inverter is connected to both a 12V DC battery and a 230V AC input, it will automatically begin charging the battery. The LED display will indicate the charging status. The maximum charging current is 10A.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry, soft cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Connections: Regularly check all electrical connections (battery, AC input, AC output) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Environment: Operate the inverter within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Rebel POWER-1000 inverter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter does not power on | Low battery voltage, loose battery connection, power button not pressed correctly. | Check battery voltage, ensure battery connections are secure, press and hold power button. |
| No AC output | Overload, short circuit, overheating, battery low. | Reduce connected load, check for short circuits, allow inverter to cool, charge battery. |
| Battery not charging | AC input not connected, AC input power issue. | Ensure AC input cable is securely plugged in, check wall outlet for power. |
| Error code on LED display | Indicates specific fault (e.g., overvoltage, undervoltage, overload). | Consult the display for the specific error and refer to the relevant section of this manual or contact support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
