3000 Watt AC Inverter

User’s Manual

3000 Watt AC Inverter by Wagan Tech Thank you for purchasing this 3000 Watt DC to AC Power Inverter by Wagan Tech. With minimal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Carefully read, understand and comply with all instructions before use. Keep this manual for future reference.

About This Inverter. This power inverter converts 12 volts, direct current (12VDC) to 115 volts alternating household current (115VAC). It easily powers TV/VCR combinations, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and small air conditioners. It also operates at highest efficiency (up to 90%) that results in longer running time and extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output. This inverter has the highest surge capability in its class. Superior surge capability allows the inverter to start the most difficult motorized loads. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are more reliable than competing units.

General Instructions: •

Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible materials.

•

Keep well ventilated – this device generates heat.

•

Keep the inverter away from combustible gases.

•

Do not continuously operate any equipment over 3,000 watts.

•

This inverter is designed to operate from a 12 volt DC power source only.

•

Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source.

•

Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.

•

Keep this inverter in a dry environment.

•

Do not open the inverter; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

User’s Manual—Please read before using this equipment. Load Considerations When an appliance with a motor starts, it requires an momentary surge of power. This surge of power is the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is known as the “continuous load”. It is important to know the starting loads and the continuous loads of the appliances that are to be powered by the inverter. Appliance power is rated in watts. This information is usually stamped or printed on most appliances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated in amperes. To convert from amps to watts, multiply: Amps x 115 (AC voltage) = Watts. This formula yields an approximation of the continuous wattage load of that appliance. The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter can power it. Startup load is 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. To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. This 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 lit, two LED indicators signal a reason why the inverter is shut down. This inverter may not properly operate some appliances with either speed control features or dimmer controls. Some appliance GFCI power cords will not operate properly while powered by this inverter. Again, the only way to be sure of proper operation is to try it. If an appliance within the 3,000 watt range will not operate properly and the LED indicator turns ORANGE in color from GREEN, it’s likely that the inverter system does not have the required output to operate that appliance.

SAFETY WARNING THE INVERTER OUTPUT CAN BE LETHAL. IMPROPER USE OF THIS INVERTER MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
