2. GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on purchasing your Go Power! IC Series Inverter/Charger. The IC Series 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 IC

Series 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 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

•

Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) 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 IC Series 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! IC Series Inverter/

Charger. Please read and understand this manual before installing the Go Power! IC Series Inverter/Charger. Please retain this manual

for future reference.

Record the unit’s model and serial number below. It is much easier and quicker to record this information now at the pre-installation stage.

AC Entry/Exit Terminals - Two 1-3/8” knockouts provided to accommodate up to 1-1/4” 50 amp RV Cable. Strain relief clamps

provided to secure the AC input and output wires.

DC Ground Terminal - Use this connection to ground the exposed chassis of the inverter to the DC grounding system. This

terminal accepts CU/AL conductors from #14 to #2 AWG (2.1 to 33.6mm2).

Remote Control Port - Use this port to connect the optional remote control unit to the Inverter/Charger.

Battery Temperature Sensor Port - Use this port to connect the battery temperature sensor to the Inverter/Charger.

Mounting Flange - Use this to secure the Inverter/Charger to the mounting surface.

Negative (-) DC Terminal - Use this connection point to secure the battery bank negative (-) cable to the Inverter/Charger.

Always ensure the DC terminal cover is used to protect this terminal.

Positive (+) DC Terminal - Use this connection point to secure the battery bank positive (+) cable to the Inverter/Charger.

Always ensure the DC terminal cover is used to protect this terminal.

Intake Air Vents - These cut-outs are used as ventilation openings. Air is drawn in through the front of the Inverter/Charger

and passes through to keep the electronics cool for optimum performance.

Status LED - Green, Red Blink, Red Fast Blink, Orange Solid, Orange Blink & Orange Fast Blink Status. See page 38 for further

explanation.

Inverter/Charger LED - Inverter Mode = Solid Green

Charging Mode = Green Blink

Power ON/OFF Switch - This push button switch can be used to turn the unit on/off. Warning! Power OFF does not dis-connect

the batteries or AC power source. Therefore, the “AC output load” is still active.
