Item #2207 Elite 5000W ™ User’s Manual
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment General Instructions: Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Wagan Pure Sine Wave DC to AC Power Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial power. Use this inverter to power AC appliances in your vehicle, at a campsite, or at home as an emergency source of AC power.
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment inverter to cool before continuing. Make sure that the ventilation vents are not blocked. If an inverter “shutdown” was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may excessive load, in combination with a low voltage or cable problem. Observe the Digital Display for low battery voltage. Normal operating range is 10.5V to 15V DC.
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech Rear Panel User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment Remote On/OFF Switch • Negative Terminal (black): Negative DC Input • Positive Terminal (red): Positive DC Input • Cooling Fans: High-speed and temperature controlled This inverter is supplied with a 100-foot range battery-powered wireless remote ON/OFF feature. To enable the Remote Switch, the front panel On/Off Switch must be in the On position. To turn On the inverter, momentarily press ON.
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment Load Considerations Determining Maximum Appliance Wattage When an appliance with a motor starts, it requires a momentary surge of power. This surge of power is the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is known as the “continuous load”.
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech hours example as above, then 50 amps is needed for 10 hours. This provides us with the basic amp-hours (AH) of battery that is required. Ten hours at 50 amps equals 500 amp-hours (AH). There are additional factors that determine actual run time. These include: • AC appliance load and time in use (basic AH). • Cable gauge and length (cable losses). • Charge level of the batteries (between use, chargers have to be able to fully charge the batteries).
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment DC Cable Gauge Connecting the Inverter Minimize cable losses by using the thickest wire available and the shortest practical length. Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage to connectors, conductors, and insulation and can cause sparking. Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and can permanently damage to the inverter.

Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuse is installed in the fuse holder. CAUTION: Making an initial connection between the positive cable end and the inverter’s positive terminal may cause a spark. This is a normal and is a result of capacitors in the inverter starting to charge.
Elite™ 5000W—Pure Sine Inverter by Wagan Tech Operating Issues User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment Troubleshooting (Television and Audio Equipment Suggestions.) Although all inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception.
