POWERinvert PRO | Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Pure Sine Wave Inverter
The Pure Sine Wave inverter provides a 230V supply which closely replicates the domestic mains supply. This makes it ideal for
powering more sensitive equipment which may not be compatible with traditional Modified Sine Wave (MSW) inverters.
Safety
This manual contains important information about the operation of this product. Failure to comply with the instructions can cause
electric shock, fire or serious injury. Responsibility will not be accepted for damage to persons or property caused by failure to fol-
low the operating instructions.
• Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Do not expose the unit to moisture or flammable materials.
• Do not remove the unit cover, dangerous voltages are present.
Installation & Setup
Location
This inverter is for indoor use only and should be installed in a well ventilated, cool, dry environment.
• To prevent overheating, do not install where ventilation openings may be obstructed.
• Allow 10cm all around the inverter casing to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do not install near fuel tanks or within battery compartments.
Battery Connections
Connect the inverter to the battery using the supplied battery cables and terminals.
1. Ensure that the inverter power on/off switch is in the OFF (O) position.
2. To protect inverter terminals against short circuit, protective covers should be fitted where provided.
3. Attach the black (-) cable to the black (-) terminal on the rear face of the inverter and to the black (-) terminal on the battery.
4. Attach the red (+) cable to the red (+) terminal on the rear face of the inverter and to the red (+) terminal on the battery.
5. To further protect against short circuit, it is recommended an in-line fuse (F1) be fitted near the positive battery post.
CAUTION:
There may be sparks produced when making battery connections, ensure no flammable materials are present. Incorrect connec-
tion of cables to the battery (reverse polarity) may damage the unit and is not covered by the warranty.
Earth Connection
Ensure the inverter is earthed by connecting a cable from the inverter earthing bolt
to a suitable earth within the installation (nor-
mally the vehicle chassis).
CAUTION:
Do not operate the inverter without connecting it to ground, otherwise a fault condition may present an electric shock hazard.
Remote Mounting LCD Display (1000/2000W Models)
For installations where the inverter may be inaccessible, the LCD display can be removed from the inverter and mounted remotely
using the optional LCD Frame Kit (RINVFRM).
1. Ensure that the inverter power on/off switch is in the OFF position
2. Remove 2 x screws holding LCD in position
3. Pull LCD forwards and unclip data connector from circuit board
4. Connect 6 metre extension lead to circuit board
5. Fit blanking plate and fix with 2 x screws, a slot is provided for cable to exit
6. Fix LCD into mounting frame using 2 x screws
7. Fit frame where display is required and attach 6 metre cable to rear
8. Snap fit endplates to cover screw fixings
9. Turn the power on/off switch to the ON position
10. Inverter can now be controlled remotely from the LCD display
Adding an LCD Display (600W Model)
An LCD display can also be added to models without this function by using the optional LCD Display & Frame Kit (OEINVLCD).
1. Connect 6 metre extension lead to display port on inverter
2. Fit frame where display is required and attach 6 metre cable to rear
3. Snap fit endplates to cover screw fixings
4. Turn the power on/off switch to the ON position
5. Inverter can now be controlled remotely from the LCD display
Loads Requiring Surge Power
The power rating shown on most electrical appliances is a continuous rating but some appliances require up to five times this po-
wer for a brief period in order to start operating. This needs to be considered when rating the inverter to avoid overloading it.
When using a microwave oven it should also be noted that the electrical power required from the supply is around 50% higher than
the actual cooking power of the microwave.
