ProLine 3000W Power Inverter by Wagan Tech
™
Switch must be On for the Remote Switch to operate. A lit LED indicator on the Remote
Switch indicates when DC power is applied to the inverter. Pressing the momentary
button controls On/Off operation of the inverter.
Note: If an extension cord is used from the inverter to the appliance, limit the extension
cord length to 50 feet or less. Make sure that the cord is properly rated to carry the
appliance load.
CHARGING THE BATTERY BANK
It is not the purpose of this Inverter User's Guide to provide detailed information regarding
battery charging systems. However, the user should try to augment any charging system with
either wind power or solar power. These can continue to operate during power outages and
they also reduce recharge time. If automatic AC powered battery chargers do not provide
enough charging current for a larger battery bank, is permissible to have two automatic
battery chargers connected to the battery bank.
REGULAR LOSS OF COMMERCIAL POWER
If the inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occur daily, configure
the charger system to replace energy during the time that commercial power is available.
Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken from the battery
(typically 130 percent). In the example used earlier in this document, the AC load ran for 10
hours. If commercial power is available, there are approximately 14 hours left in the day to
do the recharging. The following is an example of what is necessary to recharge a battery
bank that has 1650 AH of capacity (as in the example above) and has been discharged to
10.5 volts (discharged). The charger has to replace 2145 AH (1650 x 1.3 AH) in 14 hours,
so the charger must charge at a rate of 153 amps for 14 hours. As this charge current is
distributed among the batteries in the battery bank, the current received by an individual
battery is within its charge rating. Be sure that the battery is well vented as the area will
likely have accumulations of an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Follow all
recommendations for use that are contained in the battery charger manual.
WARNING
THERE IS DANGER OF AN EXPLOSION. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT
CHARGER CABLES DIRECTLY AFTER BATTERY DISCHARGE OR RECHARGE
— MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY BANK AREA IS WELL VENTED BEFORE
ATTACHING OR REMOVING CABLES.
If flooded lead acid batteries are used, as examples given in this document, be sure that
periodic checks of battery electrolyte levels are done. Follow battery manufacturer's
instructions in keeping the electrolytes at the proper level. Be sure to use pure distilled water
when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.

User's Manual—Read before using this equipment
ABOARD A VESSEL OR VEHICLE.
Manufacturer supplied engine driven alternators can usually be replaced with one that can
continuously deliver higher amperage. This should be done at the outset. Keep the batteries
charging when the vessel or vehicle engine is operating. In the case of a vessel, make sure
that shore power is used to recharge the batteries whenever possible.
OPERATING ISSUES
Television and Audio Suggestions
Although all inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some
interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals.
However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception.
• First, make sure that the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal
operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 11O/120V AC wall outlet).
Also ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded and of good quality.
• Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power cord.
• Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt power
source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television set.
• Coil the television power cord or install a clamp-on ferrite choke (available from
electronic parts suppliers).
Note: Some inexpensive audio systems may have a slight "buzzing" sound when operated
with the inverter. This is caused by insufficient filtering in the audio system. The only solution
to this problem is to get a sound system with a higher quality power supply.
