ON/OFF Switch.This switch controls ON/OFF operation of the inverter.b. OVER HEAT INDICATORThe Over Temperature LED will turn RED and the inverter will automaticallyshut down if the inverter shuts down because of inadequate ventilation orexcessive load. If this occurs, turn OFF the inverter and check that theventilation openings are not blocked. Then check that the continuous powerrequirement of the appliance load does not exceed 8000 watts. After the shutdown condition is removed, turn on the inverter. When the inverter cools to a safetemperature, it will automatically restart.c. OVER LOAD INDICATOR.This indicator turns RED as the inverter shuts down. Immediately turn off someappliances if this occurs. The inverter will automatically restart.d. BAR GRAPH METERS.The inverter is equipped with digital bar meters that display DC input voltage andDC current drawn to indicate system operation. These meters are there to assist8000W Power InverterBy Wagan Techwww.wagan.com6diagnosis if there are DC power supply problems.DC voltage reading is the measurement of the voltage between the DC inputterminals of the inverter, not the actual battery voltage. During high wattageapplications the display may show a lower voltage level than the battery becauseof the voltage drop that occurs between the input cables and the battery. Thisvoltage drop should not be excessive as this will seriously reduce run time. Thisinverter will operate with input voltage ranging from 11 to 15 Volts of directcurrent (DC). If the inverter input voltage level falls below 10.5 Volts DC, anaudible alarm will sound. Should the voltage drop below 10 Volts DC, theinverter will automatically shut down.During charging from a generator, solar panel, or AC powered charger, thebattery voltage will be higher than when there is no load on the batteies. Thisinverter will shutdown if the input voltage is 15 Volts. It will shut downautomatically if this occurs, however, in some rare cases voltages greater than 15may cause damage to the inverter. Damage caused by excessive voltage input isnot covered under warranty.The DC Current Meter indicates the current drawn by the inverter with the presentDC load operating. The current displayed is the sum of currents supplied to all theDC input terminals. The meter should show minimal current drawn when theinverter is operating and all AC loads are turned off.e. Four 115V AC Outlets.Each outlet will supply l5A (1600 watts) 115V AC maximum, for poweringappliances. Exceeding l5A of continuous power from an outlet may cause damageto the inverter and cause possible injury.f. High Wattage AC OutletThere are three insulated terminals on the front panel of the inverter. Theseterminals are for connecting 115 Volt AC devices that require more than 15 ampsto operate. Other uses are for connection to distributed wiring that has multipleAC outlets. Any wiring that is directly connected must be 6 gage or larger.Terminal connections from left to right are:
