Section 1 |
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SAFETY, OPERATION,
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE OF THIS PRODUCT. BEFORE USE, READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL CAUTIONS, WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS AND PRODUCT LABELS, PLUS
YOUR VEHICLE'S BATTERY MANUFACTURER GUIDELINES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
To ensure reliable service, your power inverter must be installed and used properly. Please read the
installation and operating instructions thoroughly prior to installation and use. Pay particular attention
to the WArNING and CAUTIoN statements in this manual. The CAUTIoN statements advise against
certain conditions and practices that may result in damage to your inverter. The WArNING statements
identify conditions or practices that may result in personal injury. read All Instructions before Using This
Power Inverter!
WARNINGS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY
1. Do not connect to AC distribution wiring. This inverter is NoT grid interactive.
2. remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before working on the appliance.
Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers only interrupt power to the "hot"
receptacle terminals. For SSW-350-12A & SSW-600-12A, the "Neutral" terminal remains powered
with respect to the "Ground" terminal (Neutral terminal is isolated from the chassis and will be at
an elevated voltage with respect to the chassis).
3. Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas designated as IGNITIoN
ProTeCTeD. This includes 12 V DC cigarette plug connections, and terminal connections.
4. This is not a toy - keep away from children.
5. Do NoT insert object into air vents.
CAUTIONS
1. The chassis and the input Negative terminal of the inverter are internally connected to the AC
Ground. Hence, the input Negative terminal should be used as the grounding terminal. Do not use
with Positive Grounded electrical Systems (the majority of modern automobiles, rVs, trucks and
boats are Negative Grounded electrical Systems).
2. observe correct polarity when connecting the DC input terminals of the inverter to the battery.
Connect Positive of the battery to the Positive input connector of the inverter and the Negative of
the battery to the Negative input terminal of the inverter. Reverse polarity connection will result in
a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage due to reverse polarity is
not covered under warranty.
3. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances that exceed the output power limit or the
surge power limit.
4. Grounding the Neutral terminal of the AC outlet in SSW-350 and 600 will shut down the inverter.
Similarly, grounding the Neutral terminal of the GfCI outlet in SSW-1000, 1500 & 2000 will trip the
GfCI. Hence, do not connect the AC output to a Load Center / Distribution Panel where the Neutral
is bonded to the Earth Ground.
5. Do not operate this inverter if it is wet.
