LOAD CONSIDERATIONS

The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter
can power it. This initial load is only momentary. With many appliances, it is
approximately twice the continuous load, but some appliance startup loads can
be as high as eight times the continuous load.
The inverter will automatically shut down in the event of an output overload so
there is no danger of damaging either the inverter or the equipment. When the
red LED indicator is lit, the inverter is signaling a fault.

SETTING UP THE BATTERY BANK

Batteries that are used indoors or inside a vehicle or vessel, should be deep-
cycle, sealed lead acid batteries.
NOTE: It is important that for any inverter installation to battery protection fuses.
Battery fuses are added to the positive (+) battery cable as close as possible to
the battery bank's positive terminal. The fuse amperage rating must be sized to
allow simultaneous operation of all the AC appliances to be powered, plus 20
percent safety factor. Fuses are very important to protect equipment, batteries,
and personnel. The fuses protect against battery explosion if the cables that
connect to the inverter accidentally short.
