Setup Instructions
- Choose a Location: Select a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area for the inverter. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for airflow.
- Prepare the Battery: Ensure your 12V battery is fully charged and in good condition.
- Connect DC Cables:
- Connect the RED positive (+) battery cable to the RED positive (+) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the BLACK negative (-) battery cable to the BLACK negative (-) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the other end of the RED positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Connect the other end of the BLACK negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of your 12V battery.
- Important: Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing and overheating.
- Grounding: Connect a grounding wire from the inverter's grounding terminal to a proper earth ground (e.g., vehicle chassis, ground rod).
- Connect Remote Controller (Optional): Plug the remote controller cable into the designated port on the inverter.
- Initial Check: Before turning on, double-check all connections.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Once all connections are secure, press the ON/OFF switch on the inverter or the remote controller to turn on the unit. The LCD display will illuminate, showing current status.
- Connect AC Devices: Plug your 110V/120V AC devices into the AC outlets on the inverter. For USB and Type-C charging, connect your devices to the respective ports.
- Monitor Display: The LCD display provides real-time information on input voltage, output voltage, output power, battery capacity, and any warning indicators.
- Power Off: To turn off the inverter, press the ON/OFF switch on the inverter or the remote controller. Disconnect AC devices before powering off.
- Load Management: Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating (4000W). For inductive loads (motors, compressors), consider their surge power requirements, which should not exceed 8000W.

| No output voltage / Inverter not turning on | Loose battery connections, low battery voltage, blown fuse, inverter fault. | Check battery cable connections. Recharge or replace battery. Check and replace fuses if necessary. Contact technical support if problem persists. |
| Overload warning on LCD | Connected devices exceed 4000W continuous power. | Reduce the load by disconnecting some devices. Ensure total wattage is within limits. |
| Over-temperature warning | Inverter is overheating due to poor ventilation or excessive load. | Ensure cooling fans are not blocked and have adequate airflow. Reduce load. Allow inverter to cool down. |
| Low voltage alarm/shutdown | Battery voltage is too low. | Recharge or replace the 12V battery. |
| High voltage alarm/shutdown | Input voltage from battery is too high. | Check battery charging system. Ensure battery voltage is within 12V specifications. |
| Strange humming sound from appliances | This inverter provides pure sine wave output, which should eliminate humming. If present, check appliance compatibility or for loose connections. | Ensure appliance is compatible with pure sine wave power. Check all connections. |
