    PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The Power Inverter converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is the actual inverter stage that converts the high voltage DC into 110 volts, 60 Hz AC, Modified Sine Wave (MSW).

    If the inverter is connected to the incorrect polarity, the fuse will blow. If the unit does not function after replacement of the fuse, the unit must be returned to Vector for repair. Repairs for this type of damage are not covered by warranty.

Do not direct wire the power inverter to household or RV ac distribution wiring. Do not connect the power inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

  • Page 14: Lamp Replacement

    All lead-acid batteries suffer from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, these types of batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When Power City is not in use Vector recommends that the batteries be recharged at least every 60 days.

  • Page 15: Ac Recharging

    AC RECHARGE AC Recharge requires the use of the supplied AC/DC Adapter. The adapter must be powered from 110 volt AC, 60 Hz North American standard household AC receptacles. The Battery Status Display will automatically activate during AC recharge. As recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light one by one.

  • Page 16: Alternate Dc Recharge

    WARNINGS: Other than a fuse in the inverter and a lamp in the lantern, there are no user serviceable parts inside. DO NOT operate unit if there is any evidence of damage. The product must be returned to vector for testing and repair. Replace any damaged cables immediately before further use.
