6. Setup

6.1 Placement

Choose a location for the inverter that is:

  • Dry and protected from moisture.
  • Well-ventilated to allow for proper heat dissipation. Avoid enclosed compartments.
  • Away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Securely mounted to prevent movement.

6.2 Battery Connection

Before making any connections, ensure the inverter's power switch is in the "OFF" position.

  1. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the 12V DC battery.
  2. Connect the other end of the red battery cable to the red positive (+) input terminal on the rear of the inverter.
  3. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V DC battery.
  4. Connect the other end of the black battery cable to the black negative (-) input terminal on the rear of the inverter.
  5. Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing or overheating.
  6. Connect a grounding wire from the inverter's grounding terminal to a proper earth ground.

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No power output / Inverter not turning on
  • Loose battery connections
  • Low battery voltage
  • Inverter switch OFF
  • Blown fuse
  • Check and tighten all battery cable connections.
  • Charge or replace the battery.
  • Ensure the inverter switch is ON.
  • Check and replace fuses if necessary (refer to Maintenance).
Overload / Inverter shuts down
  • Connected load exceeds 2000W
  • High surge current from appliance
  • Reduce the total load by disconnecting some appliances.
  • Try connecting appliances one by one to identify the problematic one.
  • Ensure the appliance's starting (surge) power is within the inverter's 4000W peak capacity.
Overheating / Fan constantly running or inverter shuts down
  • Poor ventilation
  • Excessive ambient temperature
  • Overload
  • Ensure clear airflow around the inverter.
  • Move the inverter to a cooler, well-ventilated area.
  • Reduce the connected load.
LCD display shows incorrect wattageDisplay shows DC input power, not AC output power.This is normal operation. The display indicates the power drawn from the battery, which includes conversion losses (efficiency is approximately 75-80%).
