2. Setup
Proper setup is crucial for safe and optimal performance. Follow these steps to connect your Ampeak 2000W Inverter:
- Preparation: Ensure your vehicle engine is off and the inverter's power switch is in the "OFF" position. Gather all necessary components, including the inverter, battery cables, and any tools required for secure connections.
- Battery Connection:
- Connect the red positive (+) cable to the red positive (+) terminal on the inverter.
- Connect the black negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) terminal on the inverter.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure. The inverter cables feature anti-spark terminals and waterproof slipcovers for enhanced safety.
- Connect to 12V Battery:
- Connect the other end of the red positive (+) cable to the red positive (+) terminal of your 12V vehicle battery.
- Connect the other end of the black negative (-) cable to the black negative (-) terminal of your 12V vehicle battery.
- Double-check all connections for polarity and tightness to prevent sparks or damage.
- Remote Control (Optional): If using the remote control, plug its cable into the designated "REMOTE" port on the inverter.

3. Operating Instructions
Once the inverter is securely connected to a 12V power source, you can begin operating it:
- Power On: Flip the "ON/OFF" switch on the inverter to the "ON" position. If using the remote control, use the "ON" button on the remote.
- Monitor LED Display: The inverter features an LED display that shows its working status, including input voltage, output voltage, and power consumption. This helps ensure devices receive optimal power.
- Connect Devices: Plug your 110V AC devices into the 3 AC outlets. You can also use the Dual 5V/3.1A USB ports for charging compatible USB devices.
- Power Output: The inverter provides 2000W continuous power and 4000W peak power. Ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed the inverter's continuous power rating.
- Quiet Operation: The inverter operates quietly at 52 dB. The intelligent temperature-controlled fan will run when the internal temperature exceeds 122°F (50°C) to maintain optimal operating temperature.
- Power Off: When finished, turn off all connected devices, then switch the inverter's "ON/OFF" button to "OFF" (or use the remote control).
