About ATD Inverters.
ATD, an innovator in portable inverter design, has developed a new line of super-efficient power
inverters with the highest surge capability in the industry. These extremely advanced,
microprocessor controlled units run cooler and more reliable than any in their class. Their
superior surge capability allows them to start even the most difficult loads, including color
televisions, TV/VCR combinations, microwaves, refrigeration units, even small air conditioners!
T h e y a l s o h a v e t h e h i g h e s t e f f i c i e n c y a v a i l a b l e ( u p t o 9 0 % )
which translates into longer running time and extended battery life.
Inverters convert low voltage, direct current (DC) to 110-volt alternating current
(AC). Depending on the model and its rated capacity, the inverters draw power
either from standard 12 volt automobile and marine batteries or from portable
high power 12 volt sources.
Getting Started
When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes,
it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred
to as the "starting load" or "peak load".
Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate.
This is referred to as "continuous load" in terms of power requirements.
You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to
start up (starting load) and it's continued running power requirements (continuous load).
Power consumption is rated either in wattage (watts), or in amperes (amps),

- Page 3 Important The inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source only. Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source. Do not attempt to extend or otherwise modify the 12-volt power cord attached to your inverter.
- Page 4 When you operate the inverter for long periods of time combined with a high continuous load demand, the result will be a large power drain from the battery. With this in mind, check the r e s e r v e c a p a c i t y o f t h e b a t t e r y y o u p l a n t o u s e t o p o w e r y o u r i n v e r t e r. To calculate the approximate power drain on your battery you will want to estimate the reserve power ("amp/hour") of the battery and the amps the inverter will require, to meet the continuous load demand of the appliance.
- Page 5 Note: Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage, which may cause damage to the wires and insulation. Failure to make a proper connection between the inverter and the power source will result in reverse polarity. Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter.
- Page 6 Television and Audio Suggestions Although these inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception. First, make sure that television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e., at home plugged into a standard 110V AC wall outlet).
- Page 7 not leave the inverter in the passenger compartment of your vehicle. Store in a cool dry place. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. Ideal air temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F. In order to properly disperse heat generated while the inverter is in operation, keep it well ventilated.
- Page 8 Always make certain the power cable terminal connections run Negative (-) to Negative (-) and Positive (+) to Positive (+). Check these connections frequently to make sure they are remain secure. Use the heaviest gauge wire available to connect the inverter to the power source While connecting the inverter to the power source, make certain that the inverter is positioned far away from any potential source of flammable fumes or gases.

Page 9: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Low or No Output Voltage Reason: Poor contact with lighter socket or battery clamps Solution: Unplug and reinsert 12 volt plug or reattach battery clamps. Reason: Using incorrect type of voltmeter to test output voltage. Solution: Use true RMS reading meter. PROBLEM: Red LED Indicator On Reason: Battery voltage below 9.5 volts. -
