Common Questions What is a pure sine wave inverter? A pure sine wave inverter produces an AC waveform that is almost identical to the electricity supplied by utility companies. This makes it suitable for all types of AC loads, especially sensitive electronics, medical equipment, and appliances with motors, which can be damaged by modified sine wave inverters. How do I connect this inverter to my 12V system? Connect the inverter directly to your 12V battery or battery bank using appropriately sized cables. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). If you have a solar charge controller, connect the inverter to the battery in parallel, not to the controller's load terminals, as the inverter's power draw may exceed the controller's capacity. What is the remote on/off switch for? The remote on/off switch allows you to power the inverter on or off from a convenient location, especially useful if the inverter is installed in a hard-to-reach area. The included 5-metre cable provides flexibility for installation and monitoring. Can I use an adapter for more sockets? Yes, a multi-socket adapter can be used, provided that the total continuous power consumption of all connected appliances does not exceed the inverter's 4000W continuous power rating. Installation Notes Ensure the inverter is installed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Use appropriate gauge cabling for DC input connections to minimise voltage drop and ensure safety. Always connect the inverter to the battery with correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Consider professional installation for complex off-grid systems to ensure optimal performance and safety. Do not connect the inverter's AC output to any other AC power source, such as the mains grid. Before You Buy Verify the continuous and surge power requirements of all appliances you intend to power. Confirm your battery bank voltage is 12V DC to match this inverter. Assess your battery bank's capacity (Ah) to ensure it can support the inverter's power draw for your desired duration. Plan for adequate ventilation around the inverter to prevent overheating. Review the user manual for detailed safety guidelines and operational instructions. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your specific system requirements before purchase.
