This document is an owner's manual for the KISAE True Sinewave Power Inverter, available in 24V/1000W and 24V/2000W models. The manual covers various models including SW2410, SW2420, SW2410i, and SW2420i, which cater to different voltage and frequency requirements (120V - 60Hz and 230V - 50Hz). The manual emphasizes safety, proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the inverter.

Function Description

The KISAE True Sinewave Power Inverter is designed to convert 24V DC power from a battery bank into usable AC power, suitable for powering various household, cabin, boat, RV, or trailer appliances. It provides a pure sine wave output, which is ideal for sensitive electronics, ensuring clean and stable power similar to grid electricity. The inverter also features a 5V USB power output for charging USB-powered devices.

The inverter includes a "Power Save" setting designed to reduce no-load current draw from the battery when an AC load lower than 10W is plugged into the inverter's GFCI outlet. This feature helps conserve battery power by automatically shutting down the inverter when no significant load is detected and restarting when a load is applied.

Usage Features

The inverter is designed for user-friendly operation with several key features:

Front Panel Controls: The inverter features a "Power/Select" ON/OFF button, a remote port (RJ12) for an optional remote switch, a USB output, and AC output GFCI sockets. Status indicators provide visual feedback on the inverter's operation.
Remote Port: An optional remote switch (RM1201-00) can be connected to the RJ11 (phone type jack) on the front panel, allowing the inverter to be turned ON/OFF from a convenient location.
Power Save Setting: This feature helps conserve battery power by reducing the no-load current draw. When enabled, the inverter will enter a low-power state if the AC load is less than 10W for a specified period and will automatically restart when a load is detected. The "Power Save" setting can be configured to "PS0" (disabled), "PS1" (enabled, 5 seconds delay), or "PS2" (enabled, 15 seconds delay).
GFCI Outlet: The 120V models include a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet for enhanced safety, protecting against electrical shock.
Battery Bank Sizing: The manual provides detailed guidance on selecting the appropriate 24V battery bank size based on the expected AC load and desired runtime. It includes estimated runtime charts for various loads and battery capacities.
DC Input Wire Gauge and Length: Specific recommendations are given for the appropriate wire gauge and maximum length to ensure efficient power transfer and prevent voltage drop.
Chassis Grounding: The inverter requires proper grounding to the vehicle or marine chassis using a #8 AWG or thicker copper conductor to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as no AC output, status indicator amber, or GFCI outlet tripped.
