Page 4: Equipment Components
EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS INTRODUCTION The inverter gives a continuous 230V, 50Hz power supply via a standard 3-pin socket and is capable of running a range of household appliances, including TVs, camcorders, laptops, lamps and power tool chargers etc., depending upon the rating of the inverter. Safety features include automatic shutdown and a low battery alarm - to avoid the possibility of damaging your battery. -
Page 5: Suitable Power Sources
SUITABLE POWER SOURCES In order to operate the inverter and supply power to an appliance, a suitable DC power supply is required. This can be a vehicle or caravan battery, portable power pack, or an independent 12 Volt battery. For most applications, a ‘deep cycle’... - Page 6 Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run. However, larger resistive loads, such as heaters, usually require more power than the inverter can deliver on a continuous basis. Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.

Page 7: Connecting And Positioning
CONNECTION AND POSITIONING POSITIONING OF THE INVERTER The inverter should always be placed on a flat, level surface and should only be used in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY - Do not allow water/other liquids to come into contact with the inverter. COOL - Do not place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat. - Page 8 Cable installation must be the correct type for the environment. • Position the inverter as far away as possible from the television, the antenna, and the antenna cable. Use an extension cable if necessary. GROUNDING CONNECTION WARNING: Before using this inverter you must provide a ground connection.
- Page 9 NOTE: The grounding terminal of the AC outlet is connected to the neutral terminal. This is the same as a standard household power point where the neutral line is bonded to grounding and there is normally no voltage between them. CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE VIA CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUG (CI400B ONLY) The cigarette lighter plug is suitable for operating the inverter at power...
- Page 10 inverter is functioning. Make sure the load of your appliance does not exceed the rated output of the inverter (in Watts) before switching on the appliance. Always unplug the inverter when not in use. Always unplug the inverter when starting the engine of the vehicle. WARNING: Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES connect the inverter to household AC circuits.

Page 11: Operation
OPERATION WARNING: If you connect the wires to the incorrect terminals, the polarity will be reversed and the inverter will be damaged. Reversing the polarity will invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty. When connecting to an appliance incorporating an electric motor such as a compressor, drill or fan, always ensure that the power rating of the inverter is adequate for the power rating of the appliance. - Page 12 SYSTEM PROTECTION The inverter will switch off automatically if the total wattage of the appliance(s) exceeds the inverter output capacity. This will also happen if the temperature of the inverter exceeds 65 C due to prolonged use. The protection circuit will also switch off the output in the case of short-circuit or overload.

Fuses can be replaced individually or they may all fail together dependant upon the nature of the fault condition. After fuse replacement, reconnect the inverter and if a fuse continues to blow, contact your Clarke dealer or telephone Clarke International on 020 8998 7400. DO NOT open the unit as there are no user serviceable parts inside. -
