Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter.
particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment
with the 400-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and/
or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverter's
Continuous Operation wattage rate.
If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger, monitor the temperature
of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally
warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the device without significantly
decreasing the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the
extension cord should be 16 AWG (1.31mm
recommend you use it to power the following devices:
1. Switch Mode Power Supplies;
2.
Linear Power Supplies;
3. Class 2 Transformers;
4. Line Filter Capacitors;
5.
Shaded Pole Motors;
6. Fan Motors;
7. Microwave Ovens;
8. Fluorescent and High Intensity Lamps (with a Ballast); and
9. Transformerless Battery Chargers.
Doing so may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.
11.11 Powering a 120V AC Device
To operate a 120v AC device:
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely on the storage holders.
2. Open the protective cover of the AC power outlet on the front panel of the Instant
Power™.
3. Make sure the 120v AC device to be operated is turned OFF.
4. Plug the 120v AC device into the AC power outlet, and turn the Inverter Switch to the
ON position.
5. Turn the device on.
6. If the device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, push the
inverter rocker switch ON, OFF, and ON again in quick succession. If this procedure
is not successful, it is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to
operate the device intended.
7. Charge the Instant Power™ as soon as possible after each use.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury.
The inverter output is 120v AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any
ordinary household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is 400 watts. Do not use the inverter with a
product that draws more than 400 watts, as this may cause damage to the inverter and
the product.
Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a
This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore, we do not
