INSTALLATION

Ensure there is enough space for the installation, and the location should be meet the following requirements:

1. Water should not access the inverter.
2. The ambient temperature should be 32~104°F, and the preferred temperature is 50- 77°F. The lower the better in this range of ambient temperature.
3. Allow for 12 inches around the inverter for adequate air flow.
4. Do not mount the inverter upside down.
5. We recommend mounting the inverter on something stable to prevent it from bouncing. Impact shock could result in damage to your unit. Be sure to use all four mounting screws for optimal stability. Mount in a location that can support the weight of the inverter.
6. Allow 12 inches of space around the inverter to prevent objects from blocking the vents and to provide enough air to circulate.
7. Do not install the inverter in an environment with high dust, saw dust residue or other particles that may get sucked into the inverter increasing internal temperature 
8. There will be some electrical arcing or spark when the inverter connects with the battery. Combustible materials such as gasoline, alcohol, etc. should not be around the inverter.

Assemble the remote control box

2. Connect the remote control cable between the box and the inverter.

Battery of Giandel Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter PS-2200KAR

The battery is designed to supply the inverter with DC input voltage and the rated voltage should be in accordance with the rated input voltage of the inverter. Any voltage exceeding the range of the input voltage of the inverter will cause the inverter to go into overload and could possibly damage the inverter. The battery should supply enough current for the load. The load is the amp or watt rating of the equipment being powered by the inverter. A small capacity battery cannot provide enough power for a large electrical equipment. In this case, the battery will cause the inverter to go into under voltage protection because of the load put on the battery. A simple way to calculate the load or amps required from your battery is to divide watts of equipment by battery voltage. Due to the consumption of the inverter itself, the actual current will be about 10%. For example, the voltage of lead acid battery is 12VDC, and load of the equipment is 1000W, therefore, the actual current needed from the battery is about 1000W / 12V = 83.3 amps per hour. Add 10% for efficiency loss and you get 83.3 * 110% = 91.6 amp per hour needed. If you don't know the wattage of your equipment, you can figure the wattage by multiplying AC amps by AC voltage.  For example, a refrigerator is 8 AC amps * 120 Volts AC = 960 watts. Remember, all equipment has a start-up requirement 3-5x its running wattage. In this example, 960 watts * 3 = 2880 watts needed from the inverter so don't size your inverter too small. 

Battery operating time

The battery operation time depends on battery capacity and load. The formula for operating time is: battery capacity divided by the value of the load divided by battery voltage times 110%. For example, using the numbers from above, the batter specification is 12V, 200Ah capacity and the load is 1000W. Take battery capacity 200Ah / 91.6 amps = 2.18 hours of run time if you fully deplete the battery. This is NOT recommended. Deep cycle batteries last longer when they are only depleted to 50% of capacity.

Power Inverter Connection

Grounding

• The power inverter has a terminal on the rear panel marked " Grounding "or " ". This is used to connect the chassis of the power inverter to ground. The ground terminal has already been connected to the ground wire of the AC output receptacle through the inverter.
  The ground terminal suggested be connected to the ground wire, which will vary depending 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 ground system. In a fixed location, connect the ground terminal to earth.

Battery terminals

Before you connect the battery cables, make sure the power switch is in the off position. Connect Red (+) battery cable to Red (+) inverter terminal. Connect Black (-) battery cable to Black (-) inverter terminal. Connect Red (+) battery cable to Red (+) battery terminal. Connect Black (-) battery cable to Black (-) battery terminal. Alligator clamp cables may be used but only to connect to the battery. Do not use clamps on inverter terminals. Alligator clamps are not a permanent solution. You may see a spark during connection. Do not reverse the polarity. This may damage the inverter and void warranty.
Cross-sectional cable must be thick enough to avoid too much voltage drop . Refer to below table to choose cables.
