1 Safety instructions
WARNING!
Read the entire manual before using the AC Master. Keep the manual in a secure place.
Use the AC Master following the instructions and specifications stated in this manual.
Connections and safety features must be executed according to the locally applicable regulations.
Operation of the AC Master without proper grounding may lead to hazardous situations!
Use DC-cables with an appropriate size. Integrate a fuse in the positive wiring and place it nearby
the battery. Refer to the specifications.
If the positive and negative wires on the DC-input (battery) are exchanged, the AC Master will be
damaged. Damage of this kind is not covered by guarantee. Check whether all connections are
connected correctly before placing the fuse.
Do not connect the AC-output of the AC Master to an incoming AC source.
Never connect the AC Master in parallel with any other inverter.
Never open the housing as high voltages may be present inside!
2 Liability
Mastervolt cannot be held liable for:
Consequential damage resulting from the use of the AC Master.
Possible errors in the included manual and the consequences of these.
Use that is inconsistent with the purpose of the product.

Step 3. Select a location to install.
• Install the AC Master in a well-ventilated room protected against rain, snow, spray, vapour, bilge,
moisture and dust.
• Ambient temperature: -20 to 40°C / -4 to 104°F.
• Never use the AC Master at a location where there is danger of gas or dust explosions. Mount
the AC Master vertically with the cables hanging downwards and so that airflow through the
ventilation openings is guaranteed. Mounting the AC Master in another position is possible but
influences the ingress protection degree (IP)!
• No objects are to be located within a distance of 10 cm / 4 inch around the AC Master.
• Do not install the AC Master in the same compartment as the batteries. Do not mount the AC
Master straight above the batteries because of possible corrosive sulphur fumes.
Step 4. Remove the fuse cover and DC fuse(s).
Step 5. Mount the AC Master with four screws to a solid surface.
Step 6. Connect the chassis ground terminal to the central grounding point of the vehicle/ship.

Step 7. Connect the battery to the DC input. Do not place the fuse yet!
Step 8. Wire the IEC plug.
See also figure Connections on page 5.

Step 9. Connect the AC load.
For safe installation:
• The neutral conductor (N) of the AC output of
the AC Master must be connected to the safety
ground (PE/GND).
• Integrate a ground fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI/RCD) in the wiring of the AC output.
Refer to locally applicable regulations on these
issues!
Step 10. Check all wiring. When all wiring is OK: place the DC fuse(s) and close the fuse cover.
When the fuse is placed, internal capacitors may cause a spark. This is normal.
Step 11. Switch ON the AC Master.

8 Operation
Switching ON and Power Saving
Move the main switch to position I (ON) or II (POWER SAVING).
Power saving mode scans the output and compares the detected load to the threshold value (40W). If a
load is detected which is below the threshold value, the inverter switches to power saving mode. If a
load is detected higher than the threshold value, the inverter is switched on.
Switching OFF
Move the main switch to the position O (OFF). Note that switching off the AC Master does not
disconnect the batteries!

9 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause What to do?
All LED indicators are off Main switch is set to the OFF
position.
Set the main switch in ON
position.
DC fuse(s) blown. Replace the fuse(s).
AC feedback, feedback
protection has caused the
inverter to switch off.
Remove AC power source for the
AC output and switch on the AC
Master. To avoid damage do not
install in parallel with another AC
source.
Output LED blinking green Power saving: Inverter is in
Power saving mode.
Increase the load or put the main
switch in position I.
Sine Wave LED continuously red
(Inverter fault)
Over temperature. Reduce the
load and let the inverter cool
down. It will switch on again
when the internal temperature is
sufficiently low.
Check the airflow through the
inverter. The operation of the
cooling fan may not be blocked.
Overload. Inverter attempts
restarting 5 times. If it still fails,
the AC Master remains in
Overload .
Reduce the load and/ or check
the AC wiring for possible short
circuits. Then reset the inverter
manually by switching the main
switch off and on again.
Fan fault. Contact your Mastervolt supplier.
Sine Wave LED blinking slowly
red (Battery voltage low/high)
DC input voltage too low (flat
battery).
Check the battery. At low
voltage, disconnect the load and
charge the battery. The inverter
will switch on again when the
input voltage is > 11.0V (22.0V).
DC input voltage too low: voltage
drops across the DC cables due
to too long or too narrow cables.
Reduce the length of the DC
cables or use cables with a
larger gauge.
DC input voltage is too high. Check battery voltage; switch off
charger. The inverter will switch
on again when the input voltage
is < 14.5V (29.0V).
Sine Wave LED blinking fast red
(Short circuit)
Inverter attempts a restart 5
times. If it still fails, the AC
Master remains in Short circuit.
Switch off the AC Master and
check the AC wiring. Only switch
the inverter on when the wiring
problem has been solved.
