Setup and Installation
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the inverter from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Place the inverter on a flat, stable surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow.
- Battery Connection:
- Connect the red cable from the inverter to the positive (+) terminal of the 12V battery.
- Connect the black cable from the inverter to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V battery.
- Ensure connections are tight and secure to prevent sparking.
- AC Input Connection: Plug the inverter's AC input cord into a standard, grounded wall outlet.
- Load Connection: Plug your appliances (e.g., LED bulb, Ceiling Fan, Television, Set Top Box, Room Cooler) into the AC output sockets on the inverter. Do not exceed the inverter's rated capacity (1100VA/1100 Watts).
Operating Instructions
- Powering On: After connecting the battery and AC input, switch on the main power button located on the inverter. The LED indicators will illuminate to show the inverter's status.
- Normal Operation (Mains Mode): When AC mains power is available, the inverter will charge the connected battery and pass through the mains power to your appliances. The "Mains On" indicator will be lit.
- Backup Operation (Inverter Mode): In case of a power outage, the inverter will automatically switch to battery power, supplying electricity to your connected appliances. The "Inverter On" indicator will be lit. This transition is typically seamless.
- Battery Charging: The inverter features fast charging technology. The "Charging" indicator will show when the battery is being charged.
- Powering Off: To turn off the inverter, first switch off all connected appliances, then press the main power button on the inverter. Finally, disconnect the AC input and battery terminals if storing the unit.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the inverter clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Battery Check: Regularly check battery terminals for corrosion. Clean them if necessary using a wire brush and apply petroleum jelly to prevent future corrosion.
- Battery Water Level (for Tubular/Flat Plate batteries): If using a battery that requires water, check the electrolyte level periodically and top up with distilled water as needed.
- Storage: If storing the inverter for an extended period, ensure the battery is fully charged and disconnect it from the inverter. Recharge the battery every 3-6 months to prevent deep discharge.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter not turning on | Battery not connected or discharged; Main switch off; Loose connections. | Check battery connections and charge level; Turn on main switch; Secure all connections. |
| No output from inverter | Overload; Short circuit; Battery low. | Reduce load; Check for short circuits in appliances; Allow battery to charge. |
| Inverter beeping continuously | Overload; Low battery; Over-temperature. | Reduce load; Allow battery to charge; Ensure proper ventilation. |
| Appliances humming (modified square wave) | Normal for some sensitive equipment with modified square wave output. | This is expected behavior for certain devices. Consider using a pure sine wave inverter for highly sensitive electronics if this is an issue. |
