2. GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on purchasing your Go Power! GP-IC-2000 Inverter / Charger. The GP-IC-2000 Inverter / Charger combines the

functions of a pure sine wave inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch into one unit - saving space, installation time and

system complexity. The GP-IC-2000 is designed for mobile and home power applications.

• Pure Sine Wave Inverter Output - assures the AC output voltage is perfectly reliable even when limited external AC

power is available

• 50-amp a leg AC pass through capability (Neutral rated to 50A)

• Multi-stage battery charging

• Inverter mounted ON/OFF switch with LED indicator

• Built in handles for easy installation

•

BTS (Battery Temperature Sensor) provides automatic battery temperature compensation for optimum charging even

during extreme temperature changes

Combined with the numerous DC power systems Go Power! manufactures and sells, the GP-IC-2000 allows you to enjoy the

luxuries that electricity provides, with or without a campsite hookup. This manual will aid in the process of installing the Go Power!

GP-IC-2000 Inverter / Charger. Please read and understand this manual before installing the Go Power! GP-IC-2000 Inverter/

Charger. Please retain this manual for future reference.

To avoid electric shock, disconnect the DC input and AC input of

the inverter at least 5 minutes before performing any installation

or maintenance.

Do not tighten the AC and DC terminals or pull on the AC and DC

wiring when the inverter is running.

WARNING!

Fire Hazard

Donotkeepcombustibleorammablematerialsinthesameroom

Battery Safety

WARNING!

Explosion, Electrocution, or

Fire Hazard

Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized.

Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around

the batteries.

Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean
