Page 7: Getting Started
Getting Started When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is referred to as "continuous load" in terms of power requirements. You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to start up (starting load) and it's continued running power requirements (continuous load). Power consumption is rated either in wattage (watts) or in amperes (amps) and this information is usually stamped or printed on most appliances and ... -

ON/OFF Switch. The current flowing from the power source to the inverter is controlled by this switch. It does not control the current flowing from the inverter to the appliance. Overload LED Indicator Light. If the continuous power draw of the appliance(s) being operated exceeds 1500 watts, this light will turn Red and the inverter will automatically shut down. When this occurs turn off the inverter and determine the cause of the over load before turning the inverter and the appliance back on. Two Standard North American 110V AC Outlets. D. High‐Speed Cooling Fan. When the temperature inside the inverter exceeds the limits of safe operation condition the Cooling Fan automatically turns on to cool the inverter. When the temperature has lowered to a safe operating condition, the fan will shut off. The fan is not designed to run continuously. Positive Power Input Terminal. Deep Cycle (marine) batteries generally have the highest reserve ratings. They are also capable of withstanding repeated complete drains of power and recharging. If you do not have a deep cycle battery we recommend that you run the engine of your vehicle when operating the inverter. ... - Page 9 Conclusion: The reserve power of a battery with a 150 reserve minutes rating is sufficient to satisfy the continuous load demand placed on the inverter for a maximum of about one hour. (45 amps/hour‐amp draw = 1 hour). Note: • When the inverter will be operating appliances with high continuous load ratings for extended periods, it is not advisable to power the inverter with the same battery used to power your car or truck. If the car or truck battery is utilized for an extended period, it is possible that the battery voltage may be drained to the point where the battery has insufficient reserve power to start the vehicle. • It may be advisable to operate the inverter from a bank of batteries of the same type in a "parallel" configuration. ...

Page 10: Television And Audio Suggestions
• If the cables supplied with your power inverter are too short to allow for placement of the inverter in a desired location, see the last page of this manual for recommended wire gauges and lengths to be used. The steps outlined for making the connection and the related safety precautions remain unchanged. • The audible alarm may make a momentary "chirp” when the inverter is turned OFF (0). This same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being connected to or disconnected from the 12‐volt power source. • Use of an extension cord from the inverter to the appliance or equipment being operated will not significantly decrease the power being generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the extension cord should be no more than 50 feet long. Television and Audio Suggestions Although these inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception. First, make sure that television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e., at home plugged into a standard 110V AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shielded and of good quality. Change the positions of the inverter, antenna cables and television power cord. Isolate the television, its power cord and antenna cables from the 12‐volt power source by running an extension cord from the inverter to the television set. Coil the television power cord and the input cables running from the 12‐volt power source to the inverter. Attach a "Ferrite Data Line Filter" to the television power cord. More than one filter may be required. These filters are available at most electronic supply stores. Note ... -
Page 11: How Power Inverters Work
let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery. We also recommend that the device plugged into the inverter be turned OFF before starting the vehicle engine. Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turning over the engine, it may momentarily cease to operate as the battery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not supplying power, it draws very low amperage from the battery and may be left connected to the battery for up to three hours. However, we recommend the inverter always be disconnected when not in use. Inverter Protection Features The RED LED Indicator light will turn on and the inverter will turn itself off automatically when: The power input from the battery drops to 9.5 volts.(When the power input drops to 10.5 volts, an alarm will sound for an extended period). The power input from the battery exceeds 15.5 volts. The continuous draw of the equipment or appliance being operated exceeds 1500 watts. The surge draw of the equipment or appliance being operated exceeds 3000 watts. The circuit temperature exceeds 165°F. Note • The inverter is equipped with a cooling fan which is designed to run continuously while the inverter is operating. Automatic shut down caused by high circuit temperatures will occur when the cooling fan is unable to maintain a cool enough temperature for safe operation of the inverter. • In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm, turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (0) position until the source of the problem has been determined and resolved. How Power Inverters Work There are two stages in which a power inverter changes the 12‐volt DC (or battery) power into 110V AC (household current). ... -
Page 12: Troubleshooting
The modified sine wave produced by our inverters has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts. The majority of AC voltmeters are calibrated for RMS voltage and assume that the measured waveform will be a pure sine wave. Consequently, these meters will not read the RMS modified sine wave voltage correctly and, when measuring the inverter output, the meters will read about 20 to 30 volts too low. To accurately measure of the output voltage of the inverter, use a true RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke 87 Fluke 8060A Beckman 4410, Triplet 4200 or any multimeter identified as "True RMS" ... - Page 13 PROBLEM: Red LED Indicator On (Continued) _____ Reason: Equipment being operated draws too much power.
