Practical help
Common problems
Incompatible input voltage
Ensure the DC power source is strictly 12V. Using a different voltage may damage the unit.
Overload protection
Ensure the connected appliance does not exceed the rated power of 1000W. The surge power limit is 2000W.
Overheating
Ensure the inverter is installed in a well-ventilated area to allow for natural convection cooling.
Before use
- Verify the DC input source is 12V.
- Check that the total power consumption of connected appliances is within 1000W.
- Ensure the installation surface is suitable for chassis mounting.
- Confirm the operating environment temperature is between -20°C and +50°C.
- Verify that the output connection type is compatible with your appliance plug.
