Symbols Used General Safety Information
Important Safety Information

The user manual provides important installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for
12V 700W/1000W/2000W/3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter. Please read the user manual
carefully before installation and operation and save it for future reference.
Failure to observe the instructions or precautions in the user manual can result in electrical
shock, serious injury, or death, or can damage the inverter, potentially rendering it
inoperable. The installation and service of the inverter might require knowledge of electricity
and is recommended to be carried out by qualified personnel.

Symbols Used
The following symbols are used throughout the user manual to highlight important
information:

CAUTION and operation.

NOTE Indicates an important step or tip for optimal performance.

documents relating to the subject.

General Safety Information

WARNING
z Have the inverter installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the local and
national electric codes (NEC).
z There are no serviceable parts for this inverter. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair
the inverter.
z Ensure all connections going into and from the inverter are tight. There may be sparks
when making connections; therefore, there should not be flammable materials or gases
near the installation site.
z The inverters are suitable for 12V battery banks ONLY.
z Always ensure the inverter is in OFF position and disconnect all AC and DC devices
associated with the inverter.
z Never connect the AC output of the inverter directly to an Electrical Breaker Panel or
Load Center which is also fed from the utility power or generator.
z Please confirm the polarity of the devices before connection. A reverse polarity contact
can cause injury and damage the device.
z Be careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors as they may retain high lethal
voltages even after power is removed.
01
Important Safety Information
Symbols Used General Safety Information

z Do not let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other. Use
only deep-cycle sealed lead-acid, flooded, gel, or lithium batteries.
z Risk of explosion! Never install the inverter in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries!
Do not install in a confined area where battery gases can accumulate.
z Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have
fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.
z Overcharging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and
activate material shedding on them. Too high of an equalizing charge or too long of one
may cause damage. Carefully review the requirements of the specific battery in use.

CAUTION
z Install the inverter in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry environment. Make sure the fans of
the inverter and the ventilation holes are not blocked.
z Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, snow, or liquids of any type.

Introduction
General Information Key Features Pure Sine Wave
Introduction

General Information
Renogy 12V 700W/1000W/2000W/3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter (hereinafter referred to
as inverter) is perfect for most off-grid systems, whether for a van, semi-trucks, fifth wheels,
cabin, or any remote location needing power. The inverter converts DC Power stored in
batteries into usable AC Power for appliances. The advanced Renogy pure sine wave
technology will allow you to power just about any AC appliance without risk of damage to
even your most sensitive equipment.

Key Features
z Powerful DC-AC Conversion
Continuous rated output power with a conversion efficiency greater than 90%, and up to 2x
surge for start-up loads.
z Safe for Use
Integrated GFCI, overload, overtemperature, overvoltage, short-circuit, and undervoltage
protection.
z Guaranteed Protection on Appliances
Pure sine wave technology is similar if not better than grid power and can extend appliance
life by providing a smooth sine wave so as to not damage it. No strange buzzing sounds and
your devices can run smoothly.
z Ease to Use
Offers a built-in 5 V/2.1 A USB port, AC Outlet(s), Hardwired AC Output Terminal Block, and
a Wired Remote Port.
z Reliable Quality
ETL listed to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 107.1 and UL 458.

 Operation
Operations on Inverter Wired Remote Control
Operation

Operations on Inverter
After proper battery and AC load connections, you can operate the inverter.
1. On the AC side, rock the ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
2. The inverter is operating normally.
3. When finishing using the inverter, power off the AC loads first, and then rock the ON/OFF
Switch to the OFF position.

CAUTION
z When the inverter turns on, it is normal to hear the fans run for a second and hear a
beep.
z Avoid powering on the inverter with the load (electronic devices) already switched on.
This may trigger an overload since some electronic devices have an initial high power
surge to start.
z When switching off the inverter, turn off the electronic devices first. Although the inverter
is off, the terminal capacitors will still have a charge, so the DC and AC terminals must
be disconnected if altering the circuitry.

Wired Remote Control

The Wired Remote Control gives you the opportunity to power on/off the inverter from a
distance (approximately 16.4 ft / 30.5 mm).
Note that the inverter ON/OFF switch should be in the REM position.
1. Connect the Wired Remote Control to the inverter via the
Remote Control Connector.
