6. Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear of the inverter to a proper
grounding point using the shortest practical length of 8 AWG wire. Selection of the
grounding point will depend on where you are using the inverter. The ground wire
may be connected to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your
boat or to the earth if you are operating the inverter in a remote location. Before
connecting the ground, make certain that the inverter is turned off. Operating the
inverter without properly grounding it may result in electrical shock.
7. Turn the inverter ON (I). Check the Bar Graph Meter on the front panel. The Voltage
Bar Graph should read between 11 and 14 volts depending on the voltage of the
power source. If the reading is not within this range, check the voltage of the power
source and the terminal connections on the power source and the inverter to make
sure they are secure.
Neither the High Temperature or Over Load LED Indicators should be lighted.
8. Turn the inverter OFF (O). The High Temperature and Over Load Indicators may
“blink” briefly. This is normal. Also, the internal audible alarm may make a momen-
tary “chirp.” This is normal.
9. Confirm that the equipment or appliance to be operated is turned off. Plug the
equipment or appliance into one of the two AC receptacles on the front panel of the
inverter.
10.Turn the inverter on. Turn the equipment or appliance on.
Note :
The use of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being
operated will not significantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For
best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long.
The following precautions apply to the PSE-12250A ( 2500 Watt ) model only.
a). The AC receptacle on the PSE-12250A is equipped with a 15 amp circuit
breaker. Consequently, this outlet is rated for a maximum output of 1500
watts (117 volts x 15 amps).
To generate the maximum output of 2500 watts, the 2500 model should be
connected to a power supply source which has the capacity to produce 250
amps.
If more than one piece of equipment or appliance is to be operated at the
same time, first turn on the inverter and then turn on each piece of equip-
ment or appliance separately to enable the inverter to produce the required
start up loads.
b). The 2500 Watt model is designed for direct wiring to an External Breaker
Panel via the direct wire connection “cut out” (k) on the front panel of the
inverter.
This direct wire connection must be performed only by a licensed electrician.
Failure to make this connectoin properly may result in severe injury.
