ABOUT THE INVERTER

This power inverter converts direct current (DC) to alternating household current (AC). This
inverter operates from a DC power source only. The level of direct current allowed by this
inverter varies by model. Please refer to the chart below:
Item No. 2007-2
12V DC Input
This inverter easily powers TV, DVD players, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and small air
conditioners. It also operates at the highest efficiency (up to 90%) that results in longer run
times and extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.
This inverter has the highest surge capability in its class. Superior surge capability allows the
inverter to start most difficult motorized loads. Advanced circuitry runs cooler and is more
reliable than competing units.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Keep the inverter away from any direct heat source or combustible materials.
• Keep well ventilated—this device generates heat.
• Keep the inverter away from combustible fuel or battery gases.
• Do not continuously operate any equipment over 3,000 Watts.
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including
any AC power source.
• Incorrect battery polarity will damage the inverter and void the warranty.
• Keep this inverter in a dry environment.
• Do not open the inverter; there are no user serviceable parts inside.

LOAD CONSIDERATIONS

When an appliance with a motor starts, it requires a momentary surge of power. This surge
of power is the "starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the appliance requires less
power to continue to operate. This is known as the "continuous load". It is important to know
starting loads and continuous loads of appliances that will be powered by the inverter.
Appliance power is rated in watts. This information is usually stamped or printed on most
appliances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated in amperes. To convert
from amps to watts, multiply: AMPS × 115 (AC voltage) = WATTS. This formula yields an
approximation of the continuous wattage load of that appliance.
The startup load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter can power it.
Startup load is momentary. With many appliances, it is approximately twice the continuous
load but some appliance startup loads can be as high as eight times the continuous load.
To determine if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. This inverter
