CONTROLS & INDICATORS
Powering Up Power/Fault Indicator
To apply power to the CPI 200,
The "fault" indicator of your
simply plug in to 12 Volt DC CPI 200 will light whenever
source (cigarette lighter).
the unit detects excessively
high or low input voltage,
or begins to overheat.

OPERATING LIMITS

INPUT VOLTAGE/AUTO SHUTDOWN
The inverter will automatically
shut down if the input voltage
drops below 10.0 ± 0.3 volts.
This protects the battery
from being over-discharged.
The inverter will restart when
the input voltage exceeds
12.0 ± 0.3 volts.
The inverter will also shut
down if the input voltage
increases to 15.5 ± 0.5 volts.
This helps protect the unit
from damage due to excessive
input voltage. Although the
inverter is protected in this
way, it may still be damaged
should the input voltage
exceed 16 volts.
Automatic Shutdown
The unit will automatically
go into thermal shutdown if
it becomes overheated due to
excessive input voltage, poor
circulation or high ambient
temperature.
