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 polartty instantly when it crosses 0 volts. The unit provides a pure sine wave output and can be compatible with 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.

RECHARGING YOUR PPS

Your PPS can be recharged by:

• 1-AC Charger: Using the included AC charger cable, plug the unit into a standard wall outlet to charge the unit. You will know the unit is charging when the green LED battery indicator light is ON. The unit is fully charged when all battery indicators on the LCD are illuminated. Recharge time: within 4 hours (0-80%) or within 4.5 hours (0-100%)
• 2-DC Car Charger:
  Using the included DC car charger cable, plug the unit into a 12V cigarette lighter (carport) in your car to charge the unit. You will know the unit is charging when the green LED battery indicator light is ON. The unit is fully charged when all battery Indicators on the LCD are illuminated.
  Note: To avoid car battery power loss, charging this unit through your car’s cigarette lighter is only available when your car engine is started.
• Recharge time: within 3 hours (0-80%) or within 4 hours (0-100%)
• 3-Solar Panel (not included): Make sure to use a panel with Dc7909 output plug.
  Note: Power generated by the solar panel is dependent on the weather. A sunny day will allow for optimal performance. A cloudy day may lessen the power output. Place the solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.

Plug the output of the solar panel into the DC input (DC7909) on your PPS. You will know the unit is charging when the green LED battery indicator light is ON. The unit is fully charged when all battery indicators on the LCD are illuminated. Below are the Solar Panels available to purchase. Call our Customer Service Center for availability.

The above data is from ideal experimental data for reference only. The data will fluctuate up and down depending on the environment, the use method, and other factors.

COLD WEATHER CHARGING

Cold temperatures (below freezing) can affect the unit’s battery capacity due to the chemical characteristics of the battery. If you’ll be living off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we recommend you keep your unit in an insulated cooler and connected to a power source (solar panels). The natural heat generated by the unit contained in an insulated cooler will keep battery capacity at its highest.
