Output Frequency Regulation | 60 Hz (+/- 3 Hz) |
Overload Protection | Automatic overload protection shuts down inverter system in the event of overloads. Output is protected by 2 built-in 20A circuit breakers (each controlling power to 2 outlets). Inverter and electrical system are further protected via set of 6 40A automotive input fuses. |
INPUT
Recommended Electrical Service | Requires 12VDC input source capable of delivering 286A for the required duration (when used at full capacity). For automotive applications, professional hardwire installation with 500A battery system fusing is recommended. |
Maximum Input Amps / Watts | Full continuous load - 286A at 12VDC, No load - 2.6A at 12VDC, Shutdown / load sense mode - less than 500 milliamps |
Input Connection Type | DC INPUT: Set of 4 DC bolt-down terminals (2 red / 2 black). AC INPUT: hardwire |
Input Cord Length Details | User supplies cabling. Minimum gauges for full load operation: 0 (10 ft max), 00 or 2/0 (13 ft max), Twin 00 using 4 conductors (26 ft) |
Voltage Compatibility (VDC) | 12 |
BATTERY
DC System Voltage (VDC) | 12 |
USER INTERFACE, ALERTS & CONTROLS
Front Panel LEDs | Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (5 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences. |
Switches | 3 position rocker switch enables on/off power control, plus "remote" setting which enables inverter to be remotely powered on or off when used in conjunction with included module. |
Audible Alarm | Dual function alarm indicates overload conditions or low DC input voltage of 10.5V or less. |
PHYSICAL
Cooling Method | Fan |
Form Factors Supported | Mounting slots enable permanent placement of inverter on any horizontal surface (see manual for additional mounting information) |
