INTRODUCTION WARNING! Before you install and use your Nitro Battery Charger, be sure to read and save these safety instructions. INTRODUCTION Thanks for choosing Sinergex to help you with your power needs. The Sinergex PureWatts Elite inverters are members of the family of advanced mobile power products manufactured by Sinergex Technologies. PureWatts inverters will deliver you efficient AC power allowing you to run your equipment anywhere, anytime. Please carefully read and follow the following safety and operating instructions. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 1 WARNING! Before using the Inverter, read and save the safety instructions. 1. General Safety Precautions 1-1. Do not expose the inverter to liquid, mist, snow, or dust. To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the air flow vents. Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment as overheating may occur. 1-2. To avoid the risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition and not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring. 1-3. There are some components of the inverter that can cause arcs and sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, install and operate the inverter in an area that is free from the batteries, flammable materials, or anything which should be ignition-protected. 2. Precautions When Working with Batteries 2-1. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash the contacted area with soap and water immediately. If battery acid contacts your eyes, you wash eyes with cold running water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately. 2-2. Never smoke, make a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or the engine. 2-3. Avoid dropping any metal object on the battery. The resulting sparks or short-circuit from the battery or other electrical parts may cause an explosion. 2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when operating with lead-acid batteries. Failing to do so may cause a short circuit and very high temperatures, which can melt metal items and cause burning. 3

DC WIRING CONNECTION Please follow the procedure below for correct connection of the inverter to the battery. The DC cables should be as short as possible (ideally less than 6 feet / 1.8 meters) and large enough to handle the required current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to the installation. DC cables that are not an adequate gauge (too narrow) or too long will deteriorate the inverter s performance such as poor surge capability and frequent low-input voltage warnings and shutdowns. UVP warning is due to DC voltage drop across the cables from the inverter to the batteries. The longer and narrower the cables, the greater the voltage drop and decreased performance. Increasing DC cable size helps improve the situation. Sinergex recommends the following cables for optimum inverter performance. (Apply both 120V and 230V versions) Model No Wire AWG Inline Fuse PWE-1000-112 / 212 # 2 150 A PWE-1000-124 / 224 # 4 80 A PWE-2000-112 / 212 # 2/0 250 A PWE-2000-124 / 224 # 1/0 125 A 9
BATTERY TO INVERTER CONNETION 1000W Series 2000W Series 10
INSTALLATION 1. The Sinergex PureWatts Elite inverters are some of the most advanced mobile AC power systems available. To ensure the power inverter functions correctly, please read and follow these instructions before and during installation. 2. Before installing the inverter, ensure the inverter s power switch is OFF. Connect the DC cables to the 12V / 24V battery or the other DC power source. RED represents positive, BLACK represents negative. Ensure you connect the positive terminal of the inverter to the positive terminal of the battery. Do the same with the negative DC cable. Reverse polarity connection will blow internal fuse and may damage the inverter permanently. Ensure all the DC connections are tight and secure (torque to 9 10 ft-lbs, 11.7 13 Nm) or overheating may occur. Chassis Ground: use # 8 AWG wire to connect the vehicle s chassis. Operating the inverter without a proper ground connection may result in an electrical safety hazard. 3. Close to Batteries Avoid excessive cable lengths. Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see page 9). Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to the gases produced by the battery. These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure may damage the inverter. Shock Hazard. Before proceeding further, carefully check that the inverter is NOT connected to any batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical sources. Do not connect the output terminals of the inverter to an incoming AC source. 4. To operate the power inverter, turn the main switch ON. The power inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If there are several loads used, turn them on separately after the inverter is ON in order to prevent over voltage. 6. ON / OFF/ REMOTE switch Leave the Power ON / OFF / REMOTE switch in the OFF position during installation. Remote Port: Placing 0.75mm2 and Screw type cable between remote port and panel. 11
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING! Do not open or disassemble the power Inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may cause an electrical shock or fire and void warranty. Problems and Symptoms Possible Cause Solutions Load LED bar flashing Overload (OLP) Reduce load. No output voltage. LED voltage indicator. Low input voltage (LVP) Recharge battery, check connections and cables Blinking Intermittently. No output voltage, Overload indicator ON Thermal shutdown. ( OTP ) Short circuit or Wiring error. Overload. (OLP) Very high power load Improve ventilation. Make sure inverter s air flow vents are not obstructed. Lower ambient Temperature. Check AC wiring for short circuit or improper polarity (pos. and neutral reversed.) Reduce load. 12
MAINTANENCE Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly. You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt. Always ensure the connecting screws at the battery and inverter terminals are tight and secure.
