INV Series Power Inverters
“
Specifications:
- Models: INV500, INV1000, INV2000, INV3000, INV4000
- Input: 12V or 24V DC
- Output: 240V AC, 50Hz
- Efficiency: 90%+
Product Information:
The Excelsior Power INV series of inverters are high-quality,
microprocessor-controlled units designed to provide reliable power
conversion. They are suitable for a wide range of applications
including powering appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and
air conditioners. The inverters feature Active Phase Power
Correction technology to prevent damage to sensitive equipment and
ensure efficient operation.
Installation:
- When connecting the inverter to the battery, use thick wires
and keep the length as short as possible (maximum 5 meters). - Refer to the Specifications section in the manual for
recommended cable sizes. - Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the inverter
using the appropriate wire.
Product Usage Instructions:
When using appliances that require an initial surge of power to
start, ensure the inverter can handle the surge. Calculate the
current needed by dividing the appliance’s wattage by the battery
voltage.
To improve reception and minimize interference with your TV
signal, follow these suggestions:
- Ensure the TV antenna produces a clear signal under normal
operating conditions. - Properly shield and maintain high-quality antenna cables.
- Try changing the position of the inverter, antenna cable, and
TV power cord. - Isolate the TV, its power cord, and antenna cable from the
battery power by using an extension cord from the inverter to the
TV. - Coil the TV power cord and battery cables separately.
FAQ:
Q: What should I do if my inverter displays an error code?
A: Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual to
identify and resolve any error codes displayed by the inverter.
Q: Can I connect multiple appliances to the inverter
simultaneously?
A: Yes, you can connect multiple appliances to the inverter as
long as the total power consumption does not exceed the inverter’s
rated capacity.
