Using the SkyTronic 230V inverters The SkyTronic range of inverters transform 12/24V battery voltage into 230V mains voltage, thus enabling you to use your domestic equipment everywhere you want e.g. on camping, on a boat, in your car, etc.
This advanced protection system avoids to over discharge the battery. WARNING SkyTronic inverters supply an output voltage of 230V which is as dangerous as the domestic mains voltage! Therefore only use double-insulated devices and replace immediately leads that are in bad condition.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES Certain rechargers for small nickel cadmium batteries can be damaged if connected to the 2500W INVERTER. Two particular types of equipment are prone to this problem: 1) small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
Front Panel 1. LED bargraph showing battery voltage and current. The indicator for the current consumption (amps) must be in the green area during continuous use. An overload in the yellow area must not exceed a few minutes. The voltage indicator (volts) shows the battery voltage. If this drops into red area, the inverter shuts down automatically thus preventing over discharge of the battery.
INSTALLATION 1. Install inverter in a cool, dry and well ventilated area away from any inflammable material. 2. Ensure the DC power cables are as short as possible (<2m ) and of suitable size to handle the current required. This is to minimise any voltage drop when the inverter draws high currents. Remember solid, secure, clean connections are essential for optimum performance.
If you are using a 150W or 300W SkyTronic Inverter, a standard 12v vehicle (50/75A) battery is ideal, as the inverter only draws a small amount of power. It comes with a vehicle cigarette lighter connection as standard, so you can use it in your car while you're on the move, or you can attach it directly to the battery, all the necessary leads are included.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS Absorption Charge The second stage of three-stage battery charging. Voltage remains constant and current tapers as internal battery resistance increases during charging. (Ensures complete charging.) Alternating Current (AC) The type of electrical power supplied by utilities or made when a generator is run. The unique characteristic of this form of electricity is that it reverses direction at regular intervals.
A control circuit designed to protect an inverter or similar device from loads exceeding its output capacity. (A fuse, for example, is an over current protection device.) All SkyTronic inverters have internal circuitry to protect themselves from overload/over current conditions.

The amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periods of time. Most electric motors draw up to three times their rated current when starting. An inverter will "surge" to meet these motor-starting requirements. Most SkyTronic inverters have surge capacities of at least twice their continuous ratings. Volts A unit of measure of the pressure in an electrical circuit.
