PLACEMENT / LOCATION / MOUNTING OF INVERTER
Caution:
UÊ
UÊ
Batteries should be mounted in a separate well-vented enclosure.
UÊ
For vehicle or camping use the inverter must be protected from rain, water or moisture.
Projecta inverters are designed for indoor, out of weather use only. For best performance the
inverter must be used or mounted in a cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated area.
For best TV / Radio reception keep inverter as far away from TV’s, radios, antenna cables and
antennas as possible.
All models are supplied with mounting brackets if used in mobile applications such as 4WD,
Caravan, Motor home or boat the inverter should be mounted to a suitable horizontal or vertical
panel, with a least 20cm clearance from the rear panel of the inverter to provide good ventilation for
the cooling fan.
SUITABLE POWER SOURCE:
In order to operate the inverter and supply power to an appliance a suitable 24V DC power supply
is required. This can be vehicle or caravan batteries, portable power pack or 2 independent 12V
batteries joined in series to produce 24VDC. For most applications, deep cycle batteries are
recommended for best performance.
The size of the batteries used will determine how long the inverter will supply power to an
appliance and how well the inverter will perform. Most batteries are marked with their size in Amp
hours (Ah) or Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
Because inverters are capable of drawing high currents the inverter should only be connected to
suitable size batteries. Connection to undersized batteries could damage the batteries and will
result in the inverter shutting down within a short period due to low battery voltage.
The amount of power drawn from the batteries is proportional to the inverter load.
