MAIN SPECIFICATIONS

* PURE SINE WAVE

The output voltage of a sine-wave inverter has a sine-wave form like the sine-wave form of the mains/utility voltage. In a sine wave, the voltage rises and falls smoothly with a smoothly changing phase angle and also changes Its polarity instantly when It crosses 0 Volts. The unit provides a pure sine wave output and can be compatible with an AC electrical appliance that works with a sinusoidal waveform. Appliances that use an AC motor are going to work to full capacity on a pure sine wave, such as an electrical fan. Appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and compressors that use AC motors and some delicate equipment will be better use with our pure sine wave inverter.

   • Please do it when the car starts; the car battery may be exhausted.
   • Vehicle charging power is usually in the range of 90W-120W, and the charging time is long. If fast charging is required, the AC mains charging is recommended.

UPS MODE

• UPS Feature
  This product has a bypass mode, which can output directly from the AC mains without going through the battery. In the UPS state, when the AC input power of the commercial power is cut off due to a power failure, it can automatically switch to the product battery power supply within about 8 milliseconds to ensure the AC output.
• UPS Connection Diagram
  As shown in the figure below, connect the product between the socket and the electrical appliance, and the power of the product is in the ON state. When you turn on a powered device, the powered device uses the main ACpower directly. In this state, when the main power supply is cut off, it will automatically switchto the product’s internal battery power supply.
  • In UPS mode of The U.S standard, the maximum power output of the AC output is below 1200W, and the AC output exceeds 1200W, and the II iSJ II AC output icon flashes to indicate overload.
