Important Safety Information
The user manual provides important installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for
12V 700W/1000W/2000W/3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter. Please read the user manual
carefully before installation and operation and save it for future reference.
Failure to observe the instructions or precautions in the user manual can result in electrical
shock, serious injury, or death, or can damage the inverter, potentially rendering it
inoperable. The installation and service of the inverter might require knowledge of electricity
and is recommended to be carried out by qualified personnel.

Do not over-torque or overtighten the terminals. This could potentially damage the unit.

Refer to the technical specifications for maximum wire sizes on the controller and for the
maximum amperage going through wires.
WARNIN

z
Ensure the inverter is in the OFF position before connecting to anything.
z
Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as the battery bank because it could
serve as a potential fire hazard.
z
Never mount the inverter vertically on a vertical surface since it would present a hazard
for the fan opening, undermining cooling the inverter.
Plan an Installation Site
Follow the guidelines below:
z
Cool, dry, well-ventilated area
The inverter must be installed in a site where the fans are not blocked or where they are not
hit directly by the sun. The site should be free of any kind of moisture with a clearance of at
least 10 inches around the inverter for adequate ventilation.
z
Protection against fire hazard
The inverter should be away from any flammable material, liquids, or any other combustible
material.
z
Close proximity to battery bank
Put the inverter close to batteries banks to prevent excessive voltage drop. Choose a proper
sized wire going from the battery bank to the inverter.
z
Limiting electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Ensure the inverter is firmly grounded to a building or vehicle. Alternatively, it can be earth
grounded. Keep the inverter away from EMI receptors such as TVs, radios, and other audio/
visual electronics to prevent damage/interference.
z
Secure mounting
The inverter should be stand-alon or mounted by using the outlying terminals with M3 and
M6 screws on the inverter.

Size a Battery Bank
Battery types and capacity relate to the overall inverter performance. To size a proper battery
bank, you need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate duration
(hours/day) you will be using the load. The inverter is only compatible with 12V battery banks
and oversizing should be considered due to efficiency losses.
1. Determine Your Watts (Amps x Volts)
Every electronic will have a sticker or plate identifying the watts directly (W) or will show
you the voltage value (V) as well as amperage (A) which need to be multiplied to get
Watts. The formula is below:
Watts (W) = Volts (V) x Amps (A)
Example: Fan Watts = 120V * 0.4A = 48Watts
2. Estimate Load Run-Time in Watt-Hours (Wh)
Estimate how many hours per day you will be using the load and multiply this by your
Watts per load.
Example: Fan Watts x 12 hours = Watt-Hour (Wh)
46W x 12h = 576Wh
3. Determine Battery Capacity in Amp-Hour (Ah)
Divide your Load Run Watt-Hour result by the battery voltage.
Load Run-Time (Wh)/Battery Voltage (V) = Amp-Hour (Ah)
Use 12V, supported voltage of the inverter as a reference.
576Wh/12V = 48 Ah
4. Oversize the Battery
The calculated Amp-Hour value represents the minimum size battery capacity to run your
load for your intended time. Note that this assumes 100% use of a battery, which is not
recommended. Assuming 50% depth of discharge, you want to multiply this value by 2
and you also want to multiply by 1.25 to account for some efficiency losses.
Formula:
48Ah x Oversize x Efficiency Losses = Recommended Amp-Hour
48 x 2 x 1.25 ≈ 115Ah
Therefore, a 115Ah battery bank, or close, will be able to support a 12-hour run time
while also prolonging battery life for the best system size possible.
NOTE
z
You will need a battery charging source as this is a non-charging inverter and will only
work to deplete the battery.
z
Actual battery quantities vary by battery capacity and rates of discharge.

Ground
If available, the chassis ground lug should be connected to a ground point such as a vehicle
chassis or boat grounding system. In fixed locations, connect the ground lug to earth ground.
The connections to ground must be tight and against bare metal. Grounding is highly
recommended for both when using the inverter in a mobile application, such as an RV, or in
a building.

z
The inverter is suitable for 12V battery bank systems ONLY. Not following the minimum
DC requirement will cause irreversible damage to the device.
NOTE
z
The input terminals of the inverters are embedded with large capacitors. The input
circuit is completed once the terminals are connected to both positive and negative
wires. This commences drawing a heavy current momentarily. As a result, there may
be a sparking occurring even if the inverter is in the off position. To minimize sparking,
it is recommended that you should choose an appropriate sized wire feeding into the
inverters and/or install an external fuse leading into the inverter.

Recommended Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
A ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a device that help protect people from electric
shocks by de-energizing a circuit or portion of a circuit within an established period of time
when a current to ground exceeds some predetermined value that is less than that required
to operate the overcurrent device (circuit breaker or fuse) of the supply circuit. GFCIs are
usually required in wet or damp locations.
While the inverter is equipped with a GFCI, it is recommended to install an external GFCI
where you can manually test the circuit.
The following table lists GFCIs that meet the specifications and will function properly when
they are connected to the AC Outlets of the inverter.

Operation
Operations on Inverter
After proper battery and AC load connections, you can operate the inverter.
1. On the AC side, rock the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
2. The inverter is operating normally.
3. When finishing using the inverter, power off the AC loads first, and then rock the ON/OFF
Switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION
z
When the inverter turns on, it is normal to hear the fans run for a second and hear a
beep.
z
Avoid powering on the inverter with the load (electronic devices) already switched on.
This may trigger an overload since some electronic devices have an initial high power
surge to start.
z
When switching off the inverter, turn off the electronic devices first. Although the inverter
is off, the terminal capacitors will still have a charge, so the DC and AC terminals must
be disconnected if altering the circuitry.
Wired Remote Control
The Wired Remote Control gives you the opportunity to power on/off the inverter from a
distance (approximately 16.4 ft / 30.5 mm).
Note that the inverter ON/OFF switch should be in the REM position.

1. No output from the inverter output
side.
2. Please disconnect appliances
and turn off the ON/OFF switch to
reset, then try to connect different
appliances separately and see
if the yellow LED of the inverter
is always on. If not, it indicates a
current leakage problem on the
appliance. If it's always on, please
contact Renogy to deal with it.

Troubleshooting
Indicator & Alarm Potential Issue Solution
Alarm beeps
Input voltage is below 11V. Keep input voltage above 11V.
Input voltage is above 16.0V. Keep input voltage below 16.0V.
Fault LED lit, long
beeping alarm
sound, and inverter
shutdown
Input voltage is below 10V. Keep input voltage above 10V.
Input voltage is above 16.5V. Keep input voltage below 16.5V.
Inverter overheats
Allow inverter to cool down.
Check for adequate ventilation.
Reduce the load on the inverter.
Operating equipment draws too
much power
Use a higher wattage inverter or
use a lower powered device.
Inverter is short circuited
Disconnect the inverter and turn
off the ON/OFF Switch to reset.
Yellow LED lit and
Inverter shut down
GFCI tripped
Disconnect appliances and turn
