HOW YOUR INVERTER WORKS
Your Sinergex Elite 300 simply and silently converts DC
battery power to 230V 50Hz household mains AC electricity.
This is achieved by converting the low power battery power to
high voltage DC. An advanced switching system then switches
the DC at intervals to create an AC waveform (similar to
household mains power) at 230 volts 50Hz.
Sinergex PureWatts Elite Inverters are supplied standard with
features generally available on larger, more expensive units –
providing cleaner, more reliable AC power and extended
inverter life.
Your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 300’s output is known as
Modified Sine Wave (MSW). This is an approximation of
household grid power. It is suitable for most AC appliances.

MODIFIED SINE WAVE VS. PURE SINE WAVE
Modified Sine Wave Inverters are compact and cost effective.
However, they do have a number of minor disadvantages over
pure Sinewave output units (such as the Sinergex Pure Sine
models).
CAUTION: Care must be taken when operating certain types
of equipment to ensure that they are compatible with your
Sinergex PureWatts Elite 300’s output waveform. Such
equipment includes chargers for some electric toothbrushes,
razors, mini vacuum cleaners and some power tool chargers.
When using such equipment for the first time, ensure that the
charging unit doesn’t become too hot. If after 5 minutes, the
charger is excessively hot, the unit is not compatible with the
Sinergex Elite 300 – we suggest using one our Pure Sine
models instead.
Notebook Computers, Camcorders, PDA’s, Handheld VHF,
GPS etc are generally compatible with the output waveform of
the Sinergex Elite 300.

OPERATION OF YOUR PUREWATTS ELITE 300
Your Sinergex Elite 300 is designed to be easy to use.
1. Before connecting your load, please ensure that it is
properly rated for your Sinergex Elite 300. Your load
should be rated at 230V AC 50Hz or 110V AC 60
Hz, up to a maximum power consumption of 300
watts (1.3A).
CAUTION: Attempting to run equipment that is far beyond
the operating power of your inverter may cause damage.
Operating equipment with a different AC operating voltage
may cause damage to the equipment and/or inverter.
2. Your appliance should be fitted with an approved AC
plug. Plug your appliance directly into the output
receptacle of your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 300.
3. Your Sinergex Elite 300 is supplied with two DC
connection methods – a cigar lighter and crocodile
clip cable set. Both of these connect to the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on the rear of the unit.
Decide which connection method suits you best and
connect the appropriate cable set to the rear of your
Sinergex Elite 300. Ensure that the terminals are
tight. (Cont’d)

Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and
the black to the negative (-) terminal.
4. Connect the DC cable set to your battery/cigarette
lighter socket.
CAUTION: The Sinergex PureWatts Elite 300 is designed for
use with standard automotive/marine 12V negative ground
systems. If in doubt, consult your local Sinergex dealer for
help.
CAUTION: Ensure all connections are tight! Otherwise at
high power, terminations may get very hot.
5. Switch on the inverter using the on/off switch located
on the front panel of the unit.
CAUTION: Reverse DC polarity (through using the inverter
on a positive ground system, reversing DC cables or faulty
wiring) will cause damage to the inverter. This is detectable
through damage to certain internal components and not
covered under warranty. Do not hardwire the AC output of the
inverter to your vehicle/boat’s ring main.

INVERTER FEATURES
1. Power ON/OFF Switch. This switch turns the inverter ON
or OFF for operation. When in the ON position the inverter
will deliver power to the AC outlet.

2. AC Outlet. The AC outlet design will vary from
country to country. This is where you plug in your
appliance or equipment for operation. Be sure to treat
with extreme care just like you would at your home
or office.
3. Power LED. The Power LED (Green) will illuminate
when the inverter is powered ON. The power LED
will not be illuminated when the inverter is switched
OFF.
4. Fault LED. The Fault LED (Red) will illuminate
when the inverter has a fault such as overloading,
over heating, short circuit etc. Please instructions on
the following page when inverter has a fault.
5. Air Vents. These vents allow cool air to flow through
the inverter to ensure the inverter operates at the
optimum temperature for maximum performance. Do
not obstruct these or allow liquid or dust to penetrate.
6. Mounting Brackets. The mounting brackets allow
you to permanently install the inverter where you
please. Be sure to only install in a well-ventilated and
clean location free from dust and liquid.

1. Negative (-) DC Terminal.
2. Positive (+) DC Terminal.
3. Thermostatic Controlled Cooling Fan. Automatically
turns on to cool the inverter when inverter reaches set
temperature.
