WARNING:
This Unit employs Components that tend to produce arcs or sparks – To
prevent fire or explosion, do not install in compartments containing
batteries or flammable materials- SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION:
Provided with integral protection against overloads. To Prevent fire, do
not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do not mount in Zero-Clearance
compartment. Overheating may result. For continued protection against risk
of fire, replace only with the same type and fuse rating: 10A

  • Page 1 10A Notice : The output of this device is not sinusoidal. It has a total harmonic distortion of 30% percent and maximum single harmonic of 8 percent DX100 Owner's Guide 3149458 Conforms to UL Std. 458,...
  • Page 2: Important Safety Information

    Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, the DX100 efficiently and reliably powers a widevariety of loads through both the AC outlet and USB port. Read this guide before connecting or using the DX100 and save it for future reference. 2 Important Safety Information...
  • Page 3: Warnings And Cautions

    Do not use the DX100 in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or n ear propane tanks. Do not use the DX100 in an enclosure containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries.
  • Page 4 CAUTION: Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the Vehicle Manufacturer. The cigarette lighter connector is rated to draw up to 10 amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open.
  • Page 5 CAUTION: Output non-sinusoidal Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the DX100 . Do not use the inverter with the following appliances: • Small battery-operated appliances like rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and night lights that are plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

  • Page 8: Using The Inverter

    5 Using the Inverter Through its AC outlet, the DX100 is capable of powering most 120V AC products that use 100 W or less. The DX100 can also power or charge most consumer electronics that have USB power ports. The DX100 ’s AC output waveform, called “modified sine wave”...

  • Page 10: Inverter Operation

    When theDX100 senses that the voltage at its DC input has dropped to 10.5V, the inverter automatically shuts down and the light glows RED, indicating a fault. This prevents the battery from being damaged. Turn off any devices that the DX100 is powering.
