Options For Connecting Devices To The Power Inverter; Determining The Maximum Load Of Connected Devices - Motomaster Eliminator Product Manual

9
The MotoMaster® Eliminator® Mobile Power Outlet is an electronic device that converts the low
voltage (direct current) from a battery, as can be found in cars, motor homes, boats or other
similar power sources, to the conventional 115 V (alternating current) like you have in your home.
Do not connect this inverter to batteries below 6 V and above 16 V as it might get damaged.
This conversion process thereby allows you to run standard household devices such as a cell phone,
digital camera, portable work light, portable DVD player, battery charger, stereo system, laptop
similar devices in automobiles, boats, tractors, trucks and virtually anywhere else.
most devices adequately.

Options for connecting devices to the power inverter

According to the wattage of the devices and their features, you can choose to connect the device to the:
AC OUTLET

Determining the maximum load of connected devices

WARNING!
DO NOT overload your power inverter! Overloading the inverter, even for a short time, could
result in serious damage to the inverter and/or to the connected device.
A few simple steps are necessary to avoid overloading the inverter:
• Identify all devices that you would like to power.
• Add up the total wattage of devices that will be powered. The wattage can be found on the
individual device's rating plate, as well as in the instruction manual.
IMPORTANT!
In some cases, the wattage might not be listed on the devices you want to connect to the
inverter. In that case, calculate the wattage using the following equation:
VOLTS x AMPERE = WATTS
Formula: 120 Volts x X Ampere = XXXX Watts
Example: 120 Volts x 2 Ampere = 240 Watts
CAUTION!
(starting) wattage.
The RATED (RUNNING) WATTAGE is the average amount of power that a device consumes
continuously.
The SURGE (STARTING) WATTAGE is the amount of power that a device consumes at start-up for
a limited period of time (2-3 seconds). Some devices (e.g. induction motors of drills and fans) may
have a start-up surge of 3 to 7 times the rated wattage.
IMPORTANT!
The power inverter can supply momentary surge power that is higher (480 W) than its maximum
power rating (240 W). Some products with a rated wattage lower than the maximum power rating
for your inverter may still exceed the inverter's surge capability and trigger an overload shutdown.
