- providing cleaner, more reliable AC power and inverter life. Your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 150's output is known as Modified Sine Wave (MSW). This is an approximation of household grid power. It is suitable for most AC appliances.
MODIFIED SINE VS. PURE SINE WAVE Modified Sine Wave inverter are compact and cost effective. However, they do have a few minor disadvantages compared to Pure Sine Wave output models (such as the Sinergex PureSine series). CAUTION: Care must be taken when operating certain types of equipment to ensure that they are compatible with your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 150's output waveform.
Sinergex OPERATION OF YOUR INVERTER Your Sinergex PureWatts Elite 150 is designed for simple and easy operation! Before connecting your load, please ensure that it is properly rated for your inverter. Your load should be rated at 230V 50 Hz or 110V 60 Hz, up to a maximum power consumption of 150 watts (0.65 Amps).

Sinergex CAUTION: The Sinergex PureWatts Elite 150 is designed for use with standard auto/marine 12V negative ground systems. If in doubt contact your local Sinergex dealer for further instructions. Switch the inverter ON using the power ON/OFF switch on the front panel of the inverter.
Sinergex INVERTER FEATURES 1. Power ON/OFF Switch. This switch turns the inverter ON or OFF for operation. When in the ON position the inverter will deliver power to the AC outlet. (cont'd) Page 7...

Sinergex 2. AC Outlet. The AC outlet design will vary from country to country. This is where you plug in your appliance or equipment for operation. Be sure to treat with extreme care just like you would at your home or office.
Sinergex PROTECTION FEATURES Overload Protection The Sinergex PureWatts Elite 150 is protected against reasonable overloading. This means that you can, within reason, attempt to run loads that are oversized for the inverter (up to double the inverter's maximum continuous output) without damage. In the event of overload, the unit will sound an audible warning and shut down.

Sinergex Once battery voltage returns to the inverter's normal voltage operating range, it will automatically restart. CAUTION: Do not connect your 12 VDC input PureWatts Elite inverter to 24 VDC systems. Damage will result and void warranty. Overheat Protection Inverters heat up during operation - this is normal. However, if the inverter's internal temperature reaches excessive levels, a protection systems will shut down the inverter.

Has the Cigarette lighter socket fuse blown? Many cigarette lighter sockets have small fuses to protect against accidental short-circuits. Also, Sinergex inverters have an in line fuse within their cigarette lighter plug - check that either fuse had not blown.

Sinergex Overheat: if the inverter is warm/hot to touch and was functioning normally, it likely the that the inverter the overheat protection has activated. Allow the inverter to cool. (The inverter can be either left connected or disconnected to the DC supply during this period.

There is no option but to change your appliance for one that will accept MSW or swap the inverter for one that provides pure sine wave power. Providing that your inverter is in "as new" condition, your local Sinergex dealer will normally part exchange your inverter for Sinergex PureSine model.
