Page 2 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the RoadPro RPPI-2500W power inverter, a high performance solution to using household power while on the road. If properly used, the inverter will give you years of reliable service providing AC power for TVs, computers, VCRs, DVD players, stereos and power tools.
Page 3 Safety Incorrect installation or use of the RPPI-2500W could result in personal injury or damage to the inverter and/or attached equipment. Read and follow the directions in the owner’s guide. WARNING Shock hazard. Keep away from children. The RoadPro RPPI-2500W produces the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household outlets.
Page 4 RPPI-2500W. WARNING Explosion hazard. DO NOT operate the RPPI-2500W near flammable fumes or gases such as the bilge of a gasoline power boat, or near propane tanks. DO NOT operate the RPPI-2500W in an enclosed area that contains automotive type lead-acid batteries. This type of battery emits explosive hydrogen gas which...
Page 5 Safety CAUTION DO NOT connect the RPPI-2500W to live AC power circuits. Damage to the inverter will result even if the power switch is in the OFF position. DO NOT connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor connected to ground.
Page 6 (AC or DC) output (30 volts or less) then the RPPI-2500W will operate the item safely. Connect the RPPI-2500W to batteries with a normal output of 12-volts DC only. 6-volt batteries do not supply enough voltage, and a 24-volt battery supplies too much voltage and will damage the RPPI-2500W.

4. SAFE—DO NOT install the RPPI-2500W in a compartment with batteries or flammable liquids or vapors such as gasoline or propane. 5. CLEAN—DO NOT install the RPPI-2500W in an area that is prone to dirt, dust or debris. This is especially important if used in a work environment.
Page 8 Insert the bare end of the cables into the terminal and tighten the screw to safely clamp cables. Note: Both red cables must be connected for the RPPI-2500W to function properly. 3. Connect both black cables to the black input terminals on the left side of the inverter.
Page 9 10.8 volts, the RPPI-2500W audible alarm sounds giving you the time necessary to power down sensitive products such as computers. When the input voltage drops to 9.8 volts, the RPPI-2500W will shut down and the RED FAULT LED will illuminate to prevent damage to your battery.
Page 10 Using the RPPI-2500W (con’t) The RPPI-2500W will shut down and illuminate the RED FAULT LED if the operating temperature is exceeded due to poor ventilation or a high temperature environment. IMPORTANT Most vehicle batteries are designed to provide short periods of very high current for starting the engine. They are not designed for a constant “deep discharge”.
Page 11: Controls, Alarms And Indicators
AUDIBLE ALARMS The RPPI-2500W will sound an AUDIBLE alarm if the input voltage drops to 10.7 volts, allowing time to shut down sensitive equipment such as computers. The RPPI-2500W automatically shuts down when the voltage drops to 9.8 volts.
