Operating Tips; Typical Appliance Power Consumption - CEN-TECH 200 watt continuous Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Operating Tips

The total wattage of all items plugged into
the Power Inverter must not use more than
200 watts during continuous operation,
otherwise the Inverter may overload.
If an alarm sound is heard, turn
off the appliances and check the
Troubleshooting Tips section to correct
the issue before continuing.
NOTICE: Some rechargeable appliances
may damage the Power Inverter or
the appliance. When first using a
rechargeable device, check the inverter's
temperature for the first 10 minutes.
If it becomes abnormally hot, do not
use this device with the Inverter.
NOTICE: It is recommended that the vehicle
be running when you first connect the
Power Inverter. Thereafter the engine can
be on or off. If using the Power Inverter with
the engine off start and run the engine every
hour for at least 10 minutes to recharge the
battery. Doing this will help prevent any
unexpected shutdown of the equipment.
This will also help ensure that there will be
enough battery power to start the vehicle.

WARNING! To prevent serious injury
and death from carbon monoxide
inhalation, do not run the vehicle's
engine within an enclosed area.
Do not use car battery to power the Inverter
for extended periods of time with appliances
requiring high continuous load levels.
The battery may become drained to the
point that it will not be able to start your car.
Deep cycle (marine and RV) batteries
can be charged more times than
a car battery, and are a better choice for
repeated use of the Power Inverter.
Do not discharge your car battery more than
10% of its total capacity, and deep cycle
batteries more than a 50% discharged state.
