ASSEMBLE OF PS-2000SAR

  1. The position of mounting
    First ensure that there is enough space to install the inverter, while the installation location must meet the following requirements:
    1. Drying: Do not use water or other liquids dripping on the inverter.
    2. Cool: a working environment temperature of the product is 32 ~104°F, preferably a temperature of 50~77°F, at a temperature as low as possible within this range.
    3. Ventilation: There should be a certain distance between inverter and other objects, to avoid blocking the products vents.
    4. Clean: Do not install the products in the dusty, wood chips or other particles. If cooling fan is on, the particles involved in the inside of the product, thus affecting the normal work.
    5. Inverters and batteries when connected, will produce arcs or sparks, so there should not be around flammable objects such as gasoline, alcohol, etc.
  2. Assemble the inverter

BATTERY

  1. Current and voltage
    The battery is designed to supply the unit with DC input voltage and the rated voltage should be in accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage exceeds the range of the input voltage of the inverter will cause over voltage or under voltage protection. In the meantime, the battery should supply sufficient current. The small capacity battery cannot drive the large power electrical appliance. In this case, the battery will be in under voltage protection because of the over-discharge of the battery.  The simple calculation method of battery current is: load power divided by battery voltage. Due to the consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about 10% larger. For example, the voltage of battery is 12VDC, and load power is 1000W, therefore, the actual current of the battery is about 1000W÷12V×110%≈91.6A.
  2. Battery operating time
    Battery operating time depends on battery capacity and current, and the calculation formula of operating time is: battery capacity÷current=battery capacity÷(the load power÷battery voltage×110%). For example, battery specification is 12V, 2000Ah, load power is 1000W, so the total discharging time is 2000Ah÷(1000÷12×110%)≈21.8 hours. Note: The result of formula above is on the basic of discharging rate of 20 hours of the battery, that is, the result is from the discharging current of 2000Ah battery not exceed 100A. When the charging current exceeds this value, the discharging period will reduce. And the quantity of the electricity of the battery may also influence the result. Please refer to the specification of the battery manufacturer.

CONNECTION 

Grounding
The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked " Grounding "or " 1.png ". This is used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to the ground. The ground terminal has already connected to the ground wire of AC output receptacle through the internal connecting wire. The ground terminal must be connected to the ground wire, which depends on where the power inverter is installed. In a vehicle, connect the ground terminal to the chassis of the vehicle. In a boat, connect it to the boat's grounding systems. In a fixed location, connect the ground terminal to the earth.
Warning

  • To make sure the firmness of the connection. The ground wire must be 14AWG (2.08mm2) or even larger.
  • Do not operate the power inverter without connecting to the ground. Electric shock may be resulted.

High Input DC Voltage

  • Do not use it when the battery is charging
  • Check the rated voltage of the battery and make sure that it is in the allowable range of the input voltage.

Overload

Reduce the load power

 

 

Over temperature

  • Cut off the load and let it cool naturally for10 to 30 minutes.
  • Restart it after it resumes to normal temperature. Reduce the load. avoid

blocking the vent and improve the ventilation condition.

 

No AC output voltage?

 

1.The power switch is off. 2.Poor contact with battery.

  • Press the power switch for 1-2 second to turn it on. it is a long press type switch
  • Check thecables and makesure they are tightly connected.

 

Output voltage below 100 V AC?

“True RMS”voltage meter is required to properly measure output voltage of modified waveinverter

  • Test outputvoltage with a True RMS meter
  • Try to maintain the input voltage in the range of rated power
  • Change the battery of the meter then test again.

 

 

Cannot drive the load?

  1. Load power is too large. Or the actualpower of the appliance exceeds nominal power.
  2. The starting power is larger than ratedpower (especially for appliances with motor)
  3. Battery is too small.
  • Reduce the load power, or turn on the appliance first, then turn on the inverter.
  • Choose a bigger inverter
  • Change a bigger battery and ensure fully charged.

 

 

Tester indicated "Open Ground"?

This is because it is not connected to a"true Earth ground ", meaning itis not connected to a metal rod stuck in the Earth. it would be impossible to do so in a boat or car while moving. The power inverter DOES NOT and cannot create atrue Earth ground on its own.

 

 

  • Don't need the tester to do the Grounding Test.
  • Refer to the manualto do the Grounding

 

Starting alarm?

The main reason is that ths instantaneous current is too large, which leads to the detection of low voltage and trigger under-voltage alarm.

 

Please restart the inverter several times.

Got 40V or so while testing inverter's ground wire and zero line?

 

This voltage has no meaning, zero line can be ground.

 

This is normal, there is no current leakage.

If the unit still doesn't work normally after using all the methods above, it maybe the internal faults of the circuit. Please contact seller for warranty
