4. Setup
Follow these steps to properly set up your power inverter:
- Prepare the Inverter: Place the inverter on a stable, dry, and well-ventilated surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around it for proper airflow to the cooling fan.
- Connect Battery Cables:
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the inverter and your 24V DC battery.
- Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the inverter and then to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
- Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the inverter and then to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent arcing or overheating.
- Power On: Once the battery cables are securely connected, switch the inverter's power button to the 'ON' position. The LED display should illuminate, showing the input voltage and output status.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the inverter is powered on, you can begin connecting your AC and USB devices.
- Connect AC Devices: Plug your 110V/120V AC appliances into the dual AC outlets on the inverter. Ensure the total wattage of your devices does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating of 1500W.
- Connect USB Devices: Plug your USB-powered devices into the dual 3.1A USB ports for charging.
- Monitor the LED Display: The smart LED display provides real-time information:
- Battery Voltage: Shows the current DC input voltage from your battery.
- Output Voltage: Displays the AC output voltage provided by the inverter.
- Output Power: Indicates the current power consumption of connected devices.
- Shut Down: To turn off the inverter, first disconnect all connected devices, then switch the power button to the 'OFF' position. Finally, disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
