FAQ
Does this inverter function like a UPS?
Yes, the IVR-1200LBKS operates similarly to a UPS, providing continuous power to connected devices during outages without constant beeping.
Can I connect all my devices and have them automatically powered during a blackout?
Yes, the inverter provides 220V AC output through South African sockets. Devices can remain plugged in, and the inverter will switch to battery power seamlessly when mains power fails, then recharge automatically when power resumes.
What type of battery is required?
This inverter requires a single 12V deep cycle lead-acid battery (not included). Ensure correct polarity when connecting: Red to positive (+) and Black to negative (-) terminals. This inverter is not compatible with Lithium batteries.
Is the inverter safe to use with sensitive electronics?
Yes, the simulated sinewave output, voltage regulation, and built-in protections make it suitable for computers, lights, modems, and other sensitive devices.
WHAT CAUSES FAULT MODE AND HOW TO FIX IT OF THE IVR1200LBKS
1) Overload or short - reduce the load to 720W or less 2) coil/inductive/motor loads - not recommended for motors and inductive loads 3) Battery fault or flat - use a good quality deep-cycle 12V 100Ah / 12V 200Ah battery 4) If the battery was connected in reverse, there will be no power to the unit - the fuses have blown. Take to the agent to replace fuses under warranty. Out of warranty: Replace the 4x blade fuses inside the unit.
