10,000 Watt AC Inverter by Wagan TechThank you for purchasing this DC to AC power inverter by Wagan Tech. With minimal careand proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Carefully read, understand andcomply with all instructions before use. Keep this manual for future reference.AboUT These InverTersThis heavy-duty power inverter converts 2 volt direct current (2V DC) to 5 voltalternating household current (5V AC). It easily powers large TV/VCR combinations,microwave ovens, refrigerators, and room air conditioners. It also operates at up to 90%efficiency, which results in longer running time and extended battery life compared to otherinverters at this level of power.This inverter has the highest surge capability in it’s class. Superior surge capability allowsthis inverter to start the most difficult motorized loads. Advanced circuitry runs cooler and ismore reliable than competing units.General Instructions:Keep your Inverter dry and away from any direct heat source or combustiblematerials or gases.Keep well ventilated—this device generates heat.Do not continuously operate your inverter at more than its rated output wattage.Your inverter will only operate from a 2 volt DC battery.Reversed DC polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.Do not connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC powersource. These actions will damage this inverter.There are no user serviceable parts inside this inverterLoAd ConsIderATIonsAs an appliance motor starts, it requires a momentary surge of power called “starting load”or “peak load”. Once started, that appliance needs less power to operate. This is called the“continuous load”. It is important to know starting loads and continuous loads of appliancesthat are to be powered by this inverter.Appliance power is rated in watts. This information is usually stamped or printed on most ACappliances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated in amperes. To convert ampsto watts, multiply: AMPS × 5 (AC voltage) = WATTS. This formula yields an approximationof the continuous wattage load of that appliance.The starting load of an appliance is a major factor of whether an inverter can power it.Starting load is momentary. With many appliances, it is approximately twice the continuousload. However, some appliance starting loads can be as high as eight times the continuousload. To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. Thisinverter is will automatically shut down in the event of an overload, so there is no danger ofdamaging either the inverter or the equipment.•••••••Rwww.wagan.com
