Can I use the inverter with a 24 V system?
No. This model can only work with 12V battery system.
Can I use this inverter to charge my batteries?
Yes. it is ready for 12V Gel, AGM, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA), Flooded (FLD), Calcium (CAL), Lithium-iron Phosphate (LI), and programmable for custom batteries through the USER type.
What size inverter should I buy?
- Sizing the right power output. The total power of the electrical equipment should not exceed 1000W, otherwise you need a higher power inverter
- Check your battery voltage. The DC voltage rating on the inverter will tell you what battery bank it is compatible with. For example, a 12V battery bank will require an inverter that is compatible with 12V DC input.
- Size your installation spaces. What area or space will you set your inverter? Make sure the inverter will fit in the space you have in mind with enough room around it for proper ventilation and no fire hazards.
- Remote operation is important. Renogy pure sine inverters come with convenient remote control so that you can operate the unit from afar.
Do I need Modified Sine Wave, or Pure Sine Wave?
Modified sine wave inverters are older technology and generally less expensive. They can be used for many standard appliances but may cause trouble with delicate electronics or audio equipment. Some equipment may work but run hotter than normal. Pure sine wave inverters are a bigger investment, but much more versatile.
- Output voltage wave form is pure sine wave with very low harmonic distortion and clean power like utility-supplied electricity.
- Inductive loads like microwave ovens and motors run faster, quieter and cooler.
- Reduces audible and electrical noise in fans, fluorescent lights, audio amplifiers, TV, Game consoles, Fax, and answering machines.
- Prevents crashes in computers, weird print out, and glitches and noise in monitors.
How do I hook up the Inverter? What size cable should I use, and what the package includes?
When connecting the inverter to the battery always use the thickest wire available, in the shortest length practical. The package includes Inverter Charger ,battery temperature sensor and inverter remote control.
Can I use the Bluetooth Module to monitor the inverter from my phone? Which Bluetooth Module should I buy?
We apologize that there is No Bluetooth Module compatible with this inverter.
Can this inverter charge my battery from PV or shore power?
The inverter charger can charge the battery from shore power but not directly from PV.
Can it be used as a backup power source?
The PCL inverter chargers are equipped with a 30A transfer relay switch that switches between Inverter and Standby mode depending on availability of AC input power. If AC is present, the transfer relay bypasses up to 30A of the incoming AC power through the inverter to power the AC loads on the inverter’s output. In the event AC power gets disconnected, the inverter will power the loads through the battery bank.
