Proline 5000™ Inverter by Wagan Tech®3www.wagan.comThank you for purchasing the Proline 5000 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 THIS INVERTERThis power inverter converts direct current (DC) to alternating household current (AC). Thisinverter operates from a DC power source only. The level of direct current allowed by thisinverter varies by model. Please refer to the chart below:Item No� 3744 Item No� 3744-4 Item No� 3744-812V DC Input 24V DC Input 48V DC InputThis inverter easily powers TV, DVD players, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and small airconditioners. It also operates at the highest efficiency (up to 90%) that results in longer run timesand 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 theinverter to start most difficult motorized loads. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits runcooler and are more reliable than competing units.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:• Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible materials or gases,including fumes from flooded lead-acid batteries.• Keep well ventilated—this device generates heat.• Do not continuously operate your inverter at more than its ratedoutput wattage.• Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.• Do not connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source. Ifusing an AC load transfer switch, allow a seven second delay before load transfer to theinverter.• There are no user serviceable parts inside this inverter.s WARNING – DO NOT INSTALL INVERTERS NEAR FLOODED BATTERIESLead-acid batteries that have vent caps produce corrosive and explosive gases� Never installan inverter so that battery fumes can be drawn into the inverter� Batteries should be in aseparate enclosure that vents to outside air� Battery gases can destroy inverter circuits andexplode if ignited�LOAD 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 appliances thatare 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 amps towatts, multiply: AMPS × 115 (AC voltage) = WATTS. This formula yields an approximation of thecontinuous wattage load of that appliance.
