4. INSTALLATION
1. The requirements of the installation location.
Ensure there is enough space for the installation,and the location should according
to the following requirements:
1) Dryness: never drop water or other liquids on the inverter
2) Coolness: the ambient temperature should be 0-40'C, and the perfect temperature
is 10-25'C. The lower the better in this range of the ambient temperature.
3) Ventilation: there should be a certain distance between the unit and the surrounding
appliance, do not obstruct the vents
La 4. Cleanness: do not install the unit in the place with dusty, timbering residue or particle
which may be brought into the product when the cooling fan works and may influence
the normal operation
5. There will be some electrical arcing or spark when the inverter connects with the
battery, so the combustible materials should not be around, such as gasoline, alcohol
etc.
2. Installation of inverter
Since the weight is very heavy,it's better to put the inverter on a stable space, such as
floor, table or fixed kickstand etc.Make sure that the kickstand can bear the weight od
the ivnerter,and fix the product with four screws,to avoid dropping.
1) Open the cover of remote
control box.
3) Close the cover of
remote control box
2) Fix the bottom of the remote
control box on suitable place,
such as wall,tabletop etc.
4) If simplely fixed to a vertical plane,firstly
fix two screws in the position of 40mm
apart on the plane, then hung up the ]
remote control box on it. |
5) Connect the cable between the
remote control box and inverter.
Indication: This product can be used as normal pure sine wave inverters even not
connect to the remote control box

2. How to use inverter (Only for ZP-1000PS & ZP-2000PS)
1.Check the output voltage and capacity of the battery, it should comply with the
requirement of the product use.
2.Connect the battery and the DC cable of the inverter,ensure that the polarities can not
be reversed and in good contact.
3.Long press the power switch on the inverter or the remote control box for more than
0.5 seconds then release,the power indicator on the inverter and remote control box
are on,the inverter start to work.(Open the inverter by this way can effectively avoid
Interference or mistakenly boot)

output socket of inverter. Turn on electrical appliance for using.
5. The cooling fan on the product will not run when start up the inverter,it will start
running only when the case temperature reaches about 40 “C.
6) When not in use,press the power switch on the inverter or remote control box,
the power indicator is off, neans the inverter has shut down.Inverter will not
consume the battery current in shutdown state.
3. How to use USB power supply
This model with USB output,can provide stable 5V DC voltage, the maximum current is
1000mA (ZP-2000PS maximum current is 2000mA), can directly provide power for the
portable device with USB port.
Notice: Before use the USB power supply. please make sure the device can be charged
by USB and the maximum working current is no more than 1000mA (ZP-2000PS the
maximum working current is no more than 2000mA).
6. BATTERY OPERATING TIME
Battery operating time depends on battery capacity (AH) and load power (W), the calculation
formula of operating time is:battery capacity (AH) x battery output voltage(V) +load power
(W)
For example:battery specification:12V 200Ah,load power is 600w,then the operating time is :
200x 123008 hours
7. SOFT START TECHNOLOGY
The unit has the latest soft start technology, that is, the output voltage gradually increases
to the normal value from low value after turn on the inverter. It can reduce the transient
large current attack and help to start the hard start load
For large power inductive load, such as electrical motor or capacitive loads such as Large
Power SMPS adopt soft start. Please tum on the switch of load, then turn on the switch
of inverter.
8. OUTPUT VOLTAGE & WAVEFORM
The output waveform of the inverter is pure sine wave, which has the same waveform
of the sine utility power,even higher than the purity of the domestic power. This kind of
waveform is suitable for most electrical appliances, including linear and switching in
electronic equipments, transformers, motor etc.Compare with modified sine wave inverters,
the power factor and power utilization of electric fans, refrigerators and other inductive
loads can be improved by using pure sine wave inverter,and the noise during appliance
operating can be effectively reduced too.

9. FUNCTION
1. Input under-voltage alarm: When the input DC voltage is lower than 10.6V, the buzzer
will whistle intermittently to remind that the inverter will go into the under voltage protection.
Pay attention to save the data if you are using computer.
2 .Under voltage protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the input
DC voltage is lower than 10V.The buzzer will whistle continuously and the green light is
off red light on. Please turn off the inverter and use it after recharge the battery.
3. Over voltage protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the input
DC voltage is higher than 15V.The buzzer will whistle continuously and the switch indicator
light is on. Please turn off the inverter and adjust the input voltage to the admissible
range.
4. Overload protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the load power
is higher than the rated power. The buzzer will whistle continuously. Turn off the inverter
and resume to normal operation after taking away the redundant load.
5. Thermal protection: The unit will be calorific during operation. If the temperature is
higher than 65°C, the inverter will automatically shut down. Then the buzzer will whistle
continuously and the green light is off,red light is on. Please turn off the inverter, and
continue using it after the temperature goes back to normal temperature naturally.
Meanwhile find out the factors caused the fault, such as ventilation, ambient temperature,
vent, load power and so on. It can avoid the similar things happen after check it.
