Power Source Requirements; Protective Features - Dewalt Dxaepip2W Instruction Manual

Power Source Requirements

Power by the supplied 12VDC adapter plug.
Your inverter will operate from input voltages between 11 and 15 volts
DC. If the input voltage drops below 10.5 volts DC, the inverter will
shut down. This feature protects the battery from being completely
discharged.
CAUTIONS
• Exceeding recommended voltage limits will void manufacturer's
warranty.
• The Power Inverter must be connected only to batteries with a
nominal output voltage of 12 volts when power by the supplied
12VDC adapter plug. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery
and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
• Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause
permanent damage to the inverter.
Power by the DeWALT® 20V Battery Pack (not included):
This unit can be powered by the DeWALT® 20V Battery Pack (not
included) as well. It must be fully recharged via the compatible
DeWALT® dedicated Battery Charger (not included). Refer to the
corresponding instructions included with the Battery Pack and Charger.
In order to operate the unit, the fully charged DeWALT® 20V Battery
Pack must be properly installed into the 20V battery terminal connector
on the bottom of the unit. Make sure the DeWALT® 20V Battery Pack
is properly locked into the battery pack terminal connector (E) (as
shown in Figure 1).
Chargers
• DeWALT® 20V Battery Packs use DeWALT chargers. Be sure to
read all safety instructions before using the charger.
• Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
chargers and DeWALT® 20V battery packs.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting the DeWALT® 20V battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (G) into the charger (I),
as shown in Figure 2, making sure the pack is
fully seated in charger. The red (charging) light
will blink, indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining
ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
Your inverter is engineered to have standard electrical and electronic
equipment directly connected to it in the manner described in this
Instruction Manual. Do not connect the inverter to household or RV AC
distribution wiring. Do not connect the inverter to any AC load circuit
in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to
the negative of the DC (battery) power source.
Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to
operate than resistive loads of the same wattage rating. Induction
motors, as well as some TVs, may require two to six times their rated
wattage to start up. Because these inverters have a peak watt power
rating, many such appliances and tools may be safely operated. The
equipment that needs the highest starting wattage are pumps and
compressors that start under load. This equipment can be safely tested.
If an overload is detected, the inverter will simply shut down until the
overload situation is corrected. Use the power button to turn off the
inverter, then on again to reset it.

Protective Features

The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Input voltage Too low when the unit is powered by the 12VDC
adapter plug: This condition is not harmful to the inverter, but could
