Safety Features and Certifications
Protection includes adjustable low-voltage shutdown from 10.5V to 12.8V, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection. The unit is certified to UL 458 and complies with FCC Part 15.
Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Installation requires a 12V deep-cycle or lithium battery with BMS, 120V AC utility or generator input, and suitable space for the 14.8 × 12.0 × 4.1 in enclosure. Configure output voltage and frequency, connect the AC and battery sources, and use ignition control or a manual remote switch as required. RS232 and RS485 communication are supported.
