Trace Engineering inverters are specifically designed to meet the growing demand for high-reliability,
high-quality inverters and chargers for alternative energy systems and marine applications. This
manual covers the Mariner inverters with various options and configurations. To determine the
model and features of your inverter, check the model number found on the identification placard on
the side of the inverter.
Consider the following unit with a M2012 model number:
M2012
Model Power Input Voltage
Model:
The first letter indicates the model, in this case the Mariner Series. Mariner inverters are
designed for installations in vessels. They are housed in a white enclosure and employ neutral-to-
ground switching.
Power:
The first and second positions in the model number indicate the continuous AC power
output in hundreds of watts. Power levels available include 2000, 2500, and 3000 watts. In the
example above, 20 would stand for a 2000-watt (2kW), continuous-output inverter.
Input Voltage
: The number (12) following the power rating indicates an inverter/charger that is
designed to convert 12VDC input to 120VAC
output, and charge 12VDC batteries when powered by
120VAC.
