Voltec Pro Pure Sine Wave Owner's Manual - page 4
The inverter will provide you 115 VAC when powered by a 12 VDC source such as is
found in a vehicle or multiple battery configurations as shown in FIGURE 2. This
manual does not describe all of the possible types of battery configurations, battery
charging configurations and battery isolation configurations.
To properly operate the inverter the DC power source must provide between 11.0
and 15.0 VDC and nominally at 100 Amps. This DC power source must be a
well-regulated DC power supply as typically found in vehicular and deep-cycle
marine batteries. The DC power source may also be two 12 volt batteries connected
in parallel. On larger applications the power source may be several batteries
connected in parallel.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
WARNING: Keeping ventilation when using batteries. Batteries may generate
flammable gas during charging or discharging.
The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened
against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface
should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so
install the inverter as close as possible to the 12 VDC power source.
The inverter can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a
wall, mount it horizontally (#) so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal
blocks located on the front panel are visible and accessible. If inverter is to be
installed in a moving vehicle, we strongly recommends that the inverter be
shock-mounted either on the floor (in a clear, safe area) or on a secure flat surface.
(#):
CAUTION: The power inverter must be connected only to batteries with a nominal
output voltage of 12volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery, and will
sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
