1. GENERAL
1.01 Dimensions inverters have been designed
and manufactured for many user applications and
long life. They utilize patented construction meth-
ods and high technology electronic parts and
circuitry.
1.02
CAUTION:Inverters produce hazardous
voltages, to avoid risk of harm or fire the unit
must be properly installed. There are no user
serviceable parts inside, do not remove the cover.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be mounted
in a location that may be exposed to rain or spray.
CAUTION: The inverter should not be installed in
a zero clearance enclosure.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if
correct polarity is not observed when installing
the DC input cables.
CAUTION: Damage to the inverter will occur if an
external AC power source is applied to the inverter’s
AC output or its hardwire output.
CAUTION: The inverter contains a circuit breaker
and capacitor that may produce a spark. Do not
mount in a confined battery or gas compartment.
CAUTION: Working in the vicinity of lead-acid
batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explo-
sive gases during operation. There is a risk of acid
exposure. There is also a risk of high current
discharge from shorting the battery that can
cause fire and explosion.
CAUTION: Be sure both the inverter and if used,
the external AC input circuit breaker or fuse are
turned "OFF" during installation.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.01 The inverter converts 12 to regulated
120 VAC, 60 HZ, having a quasi-sine wave form.
2.02 If equipped with the "B" option it also
converts 120 VAC, 60 HZ for use as a battery
charger.
2.03 The inverter has a controlled frequency
at 60 HZ + 0.6Hz.
2.04 The inverter has internal protection
against output short circuit, output overload and
high temperature conditions. Also, there is a
thermally controlled cooling fan.
2.05 The inverter is designed to operate
almost any 120 VAC, 60 HZ, single phase appli-
ance, equipment or tool within its power ratings,
unless the equipment is specifically designed to
operate from a pure sine waveform.
