  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Save These Instructions Before using your PID-750, read and understand this Owner’s Manual. • Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly dis- perse heat generated while it is in use. Make sure there are several inches of clearance around the top and sides and do not block the slots of the inverter.
  • Page 4 BEFORE USING PID-750 POWER INvERTER It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PID-750 must be used with devices drawing 750 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V).
  • Page 5 Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Connecting to a 12 volt Battery: The PID-750 battery clamps allow quick hook-up to a 12V battery. Make sure the PID-750 and the device(s) are turned OFF. 1. Unscrew the positive (red) and negative (black) plastic connector knobs from the back of the inverter.

    6. Turn the device ON. 7. To disconnect the PID-750, reverse the above steps. NOTE: If there is a short circuit or power surge in the device, the alarm will sound. To turn off the alarm, press the button. Cycle inverter power OFF and ON. If problem persists, use a larger inverter or a smaller device.

    TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Alarm is On Reason/Solution 1. Display shows . Device has a short circuit or de- mands too much surge power. Cycle inverter power OFF and ON. If problem persists, use a larger inverter or a smaller device. Remove defective device. See warranty and call Customer Service 800-621-5485 (Hours: 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. CST).
  • Page 10 Inverter will automatically reset after cooling. PROBLEM: Inverter Does Not Turn On Reason/Solution 1. Poor contact at terminals. Unplug and reinsert PID-750. 2. Fuse is blown. A blown fuse is usually caused by reverse polar- ity or a short circuit within the inverter. To replace,...
