RS Series 12V & 24V Inverters (350W model)
RS SERIES INVERTERS (350W) REDARC Pure Sine Wave Inverters produce a pure sine wave output. This means that the power output from a REDARC Pure Sine Wave Inverter is not only the same as the mains supply, it’s often better! WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the REDARC RS series 350W Pure Sine Wave Inverters.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Be extra cautious so as to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a vehicle battery. Doing so might cause the battery to spark or might short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery.

2 USER GUIDE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE INVERTER - THE INTERNAL CIRCUITRY CONTAINS HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE AND WILL VOID THE UNIT WARRANTY. 2.1 Front Panel Operation The R-12-350RS and R-24-350RS are members of the most advanced line of mobile AC power systems available. To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed and used properly.

2 USER GUIDE 2.2.1 Remote Port (RJ-11) A The RS Series inverter can be used with the REMOTE-RS remote controls. To enable use, the main switch on the inverter must be set to the “REMOTE” position. Pin Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 Signal Description (1) Reserved GND Reserved Reserved RMT Reserved 2.2.
2 USER GUIDE 2.2.4 DC Input Connection D Prior to installation: • DC Supply cables should be as short as possible (no longer than the values in table 2.2.4.1) • The size of the cable should be thick enough to maintain a voltage drop of less than 2% when carrying the maximum input current. This will help prevent frequent low-input voltage warnings and shutdown. • The following sizes of cables and fuses are recommended for connection of the supply batteries to inverter, see table 2.2.4.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Mounting The power inverter should be used in an environment that meets the following requirements: 1. Dry – Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the inverter. 2. Cool – Ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, the cooler the better. 3. Safe – Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas where volatile fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine compartments. 4.
3 INSTALLATION 3.3 DC wiring connections RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. BEFORE PROCEEDING, CAREFULLY CHECK THAT THE INVERTER IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY BATTERIES AND THAT ALL WIRING IS DISCONNECTED FROM ANY ELECTRICAL SOURCES. DO NOT CONNECT THE OUTPUT TERMINALS OF THE INVERTER TO AN INCOMING AC SOURCE. DC supply cables should be kept as short as possible whilst still adhering to the above installation requirements (ideally less than 1.8m / 6ft).
3 INSTALLATION Ensure that all the DC connections are tight - torque to 2.8 Nm (1.5 ft-lbs). Loose connections could result in overheating and can be a potential hazard. M5 Screw Cable Ring Terminal Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring. Selecting the wrong cable or fuse size could result in harm to the installer or user and/or damage to the inverter or other appliances installed in the system.
