Page 5: Operation
Note: Vector™ recommends charging from a vehicle only while its engine is running, so as not to run down the vehicle’s battery. The ideal charging rate is 14.5-15.5 volts, which is nearly identical to the charging rate of most vehicle batteries. - Page 6 1 10-volt AC Operation CAUTION: Rechargeable Devices Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter unit of the Pocket Generator™ . When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat.

Page 9: Principle Of Operation
The Power Force 50™ inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to standard 110-volt AC (alternating current) household power. In designing the Power Force 50™ , Vector™ has incorporated design techniques previously employed in computer power supplies. -
Page 10: Power Source Requirements
Power Force 50™ Output Waveform The AC output waveform of the Power Force 50™ is known as a “quasi-sine wave” or a “modified sine wave”. It is a stepped waveform that is designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. - Page 11 CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING: The Power Force 50™ is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

Page 12: Operating Tips
OPERATING TIPS The Power Force 50™ should only be operated in locations that meet the following criteria: DRY - Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter. COOL - Ambient air temperature should be between -20°C and 40°C - ideally between 15°C and 25°C (60 - 80°F). -
Page 13: Battery Operating Time
Battery Operating Time 1. Always turn power switch on the inverter to OFF position when unit is not in use. If the switch is left in the ON position, it will drain the Pocket Generator™ battery. 2. WARNING: Never run both AC and DC devices at the same time as this can damage the Pocket Generator™. -
