Before using your new DC to AC power inverter, please read this
instruction manual to prevent any damage. Put it away in a safe
place for future references.
IMPORTANT
Only use the included cables in the package.
Take care not to damage the insulation of the cables.
Do not overload the inverter.
Do not use 6 or 24V batteries.
Do not use small diameter cables.
Do not operate the equipment near fumes.
Do not drop the inverter.
Do not allow the inverter get wet.
WARNINGS
Keep your voltage inverter away from water and humidity.
Do not use this voltage inverter with electrical systems that have a
ground anode.
This voltage inverter is designed to be used with electrical systems
with a ground cathode.
Make sure to get help from another person in order to operate this

SECURITY WARNINGS
The voltage inverter INV-300 will give you an output voltage of 300W
AC, furthermore, INV-400, INV-600 and INV-1000 will give you 300, 600
and 1000W of power output. Connect into the voltage inverter’s outputs
the same kind of equipment you would to a home energy output.
The voltage inverter will heat up when in use, avoid touching the
inverter or placing the inverter near objects that can not be near extreme
heat including sleeping bags or anything ammable.
Make sure that the DC voltage input is the same voltage as that
required by the voltage inverter and that the charge is the same as
required by the voltage inverter’s output.
Make sure the polarity is not inverted when connecting your inverter.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS WITH BATTERIES
1.- It is dangerous to operate near a lead acid battery. The batteries
can generate ammable gases during their operation. Never smoke or
allow it to produce a spark or ame near a battery. Allow adequate
ventilation around the battery.
2.- Wear protective clothing and safety glasses for the eyes. Avoid
touching your eyes working near the battery. Wash your hands once
you’re done.
3.- If the battery acid comes into contact with skin or clothing, wash
the affected area immediately with soap and water. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, wash immediately with cold water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention.
4.- Take caution when using metal tools near the battery. If a metal tool
falls on the battery may cause short-circuit the battery and possibly an
explosion.
5.- Remove any metal object personnel, including rings, bracelets,
necklaces or watches, when working with a battery. A battery can
produce a short circuit in the ow strong enough to melt a ring or other
object similar to the metal, causing acute burned.

WE MUST GO THE RED WIRE CONNECTED TO POSITIVE (+) AND
THE BLACK WIRE, THE CONNECTOR NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY.
One of the cables connecting the battery with reverse polarity can
damage the investor!
The damage caused by a reverse polarity are not covered under
warranty. Make sure the switch is OFF before connecting the battery.
CONTROLS
1.- ON / OFF power switch
This switch turns on / off the inverter
2.- Power indicator
When lit, it indicates the inverter has been turned on, and is ready for
use
3.- Surge indicator
Lit on when then inverter has been turned on / turn it off when the
inverter protection operates
4.- Dual AC outlets
Allows you to connect up to 2 different devices
5.- Battery connections posts
Allows you to connect the inverter to the battery, using the included
alligators clips
ENGLISH
ENGLISH-06
6.- High speed cooling fan
This fan cool the internal circuits, while the inverter is in use
7.- Ground connector(Only INV-1000)
Allows you to ground the inverter
8.- Restore button
Press this button after the inverter protection operates, in this way, the
equipment will works correctly after this process

Even in OFF position, the inverter consumes a low level of power
from the battery.
Make sure do not overload the maximum inverter voltage capacity
(300, 400, 600, 1000W, depending of the model).
Pay attention to polarity when plug the alligators to the battery.
Red terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is negative (-)

INSTALLATION
a) Selecting the battery power source
You must use a power source with a minimum voltage of 10,5V and a
maximum voltage of 14,5V DC, in order to connect it to the inverter.
The power source can be a combination of car’s battery and alternator
(when the car’s motor is running).
Do not install the power inverter in a positive ground DC system.
The power inverter must be connected to batteries or power
sources with a normal / average voltage of 12V. The power inverter
won’t operates with 6V or 24V power sources.
b) Placing the power inverter
The place where you want to install the inverter is very important, in
order to maximize their use and extend the life of the inverter. For better
results, the inverter must be placed in a sturdy, at surface. You can
place the equipment in a vertical or horizontal position.

Keep in mind these points when you select a permanent place for
the inverter:
1.- Ventilation: make sure to have at least 1 inch of clearance around
the inverter, for a better air ow. Do not place objects over the
inverter while is in use. The air should circulate freely. The built-
in fan provides air, but must have enough free space around it to
operate correctly.
2.- Keep the equipment dry and far from liquids. Place it far away
spill areas.
3.- Best operating temperature is from 7° to 30°C. Do not place
the inverter in a place near to heat tubes or any other heat sourc-
es, that can overheat the inverter.
4.- Do not place the inverter near to ammable substances.
Fumes and gas may cause an explosion or re that can result in
several damages and possible death.
c) Connection cables from inverter to battery
The power inverter includes 2 4AWG cables (45cm length) with
eye-type and alligator ends to connect it the inverter to a battery.
You can identify the negative end with a black color and the
positive end with a red color. Please, place the inverter as close as
possible to the battery, in order to get the best performance.
ENGLISH
ENGLISH-10
d) Grounding the inverter
Do not install the inverter in a positive ground DC system.
To identify a positive ground DC system, look for the positive terminal of
the battery connected to the chassis or to a central grounding point.
e) Connecting to a power source
Usually, the power source is a battery (or group of batteries) which is
recharged by an alternator.
1.- Make sure the inverter’s power switch is on OFF position and there
are no liquids near of it.
2.- Connect the eye-type terminals (supplied with the inverter). Place
the black cable in the middle of the negative connector (-), and place the
red cable in the positive connector (+).
3.- Tighten the screws rmly to hold the cables.
4.- Use the red alligator to connect it to positive end (+) in the power
source.
5.- Use the black alligator to connect the inverter to power source’s
negative end (-).
6.- Turn the inverter on. The indicator light and the surge
indicator will light up.
7.- Turn the inverter. The installation nished.
If the polarity is inverted, may cause several and permanent
damages in the inverter.
You will watch some sparks when connect the battery to the
inverter. Make sure there are not ammable liquids near the
inverter, may cause an explosion.
