Introduction
Congratulations! Your new PowerVerter Portable AC Inverter with USB Charging will give you years of reliable, carefree service.
Use it to convert DC (battery) power into 110V AC (household) power to run a variety of electronics: tablets, smartphones,
laptop computers, game systems, small TVs/DVD players and more! The Inverter's PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) sinusoidal
wave is suitable for almost all loads.
Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Inverters.
Warning!
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the
failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use
this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not operate your Inverter near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
Caution!
• Since the Inverter requires adequate ventilation during operation, do not block fan or cooling vents or cover the Inverter,
and do not operate near vehicle heating vents or in direct sunlight. Keep the Inverter dry at all times and disconnect when
not in use.
• Turn OFF connected equipment before starting your engine. DO NOT plug a surge protector, line conditioner or UPS system
into the Inverter. If you attach AC extension cords, use the heaviest practical gauge.
• Before connecting a battery charger or adapter, check its manual to make sure that the Inverter's specifications (including
output waveform) fall within its recommendations.
Operation
Step 1: Plug Inverter into vehicle lighter/accessory outlet.
Step 2: Turn on Inverter.
Step 3: Plug equipment into the Inverter.
Determine your equipment's total wattage.* Do not connect more watts than your Inverter's Output Power (Maximum
Continuous Watts); see Specifications. See back page for typical equipment runtimes. Also see back page for important note
concerning the limitations of vehicle electrical systems.
* Wattage ratings are usually listed in equipment manuals or on nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amps, multiply that number times AC utility
voltage to determine watts. (Example: a ¼ in. drill requires 2½ amps. 2½ amps × 120 volts = 300 watts.)
Maintenance
Your Inverter requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts (except for replaceable DC fuses, where
applicable).
