Note: The image contains a warning stating "The maximum operating power of this equipment must not exceed 1500W." Users should always adhere to the inverter's specified continuous power rating, which is 2500W for this model, and ensure connected loads do not exceed this limit.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly set up your NOVOPAL Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

  1. Choose a Location: Select a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area for the inverter. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is sufficient space around the inverter for airflow.
  2. Mounting: The inverter can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Use appropriate screws and ensure it is securely fastened.
  3. DC Input Connection:
    • Ensure the inverter's power switch is in the "OFF" position.
    • Connect the supplied red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V DC battery.
    • Connect the other end of the red cable to the positive (+) terminal on the inverter.
    • Connect the supplied black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of your 12V DC battery.
    • Connect the other end of the black cable to the negative (-) terminal on the inverter.
    • Tighten all connections securely. Loose connections can cause overheating.

    WARNING: Always connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Reversing polarity will cause severe damage to the inverter and battery.

  4. Grounding: Connect a grounding wire from the inverter's grounding terminal to a suitable ground point (e.g., vehicle chassis or earth ground).
  5. Remote Control Connection (Optional): If using the remote control, ensure the inverter is OFF, then plug the RJ45 cable from the remote into the designated port on the inverter.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the inverter is properly installed, follow these steps for operation.

  1. Power On: Switch the inverter's main power switch to the "ON" position. The LCD screen will illuminate, displaying current battery voltage and other parameters.
  2. Connect Appliances: Plug your AC appliances into the inverter's AC outlets. For USB charging, connect your device to the USB port.
  3. Monitor Display: Observe the LCD screen for real-time information on input voltage, output voltage, and load power. This helps in managing power consumption.
  4. Fan Operation: The inverter features an intelligent cooling system:
    • If the connected load is below 500W, the fans will activate only when the internal temperature reaches 45°C.
    • If the connected load is greater than 500W, the fans will start immediately upon power-on to ensure adequate cooling.
  5. Using the Remote Control: If connected, the remote control can be used to turn the inverter ON/OFF and monitor basic status (battery level, fault, power indicator).
  6. Power Off: Before disconnecting any appliances or the inverter from the battery, switch the inverter's main power switch to the "OFF" position.
