4. USB port
5. Low-battery protection
3. BEFORE USING YOUR POWER CONVERTER
When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device goes through 2 stages:
1. Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the
"starting" or "peak" load).
2. Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as the
"continuous load").
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or
printed on most devices and equipment, or in the user's manual. Otherwise,
contact the manufacturer to find out whether the device you want to use is
compatible with a modified sine wave.
To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x wattage.
In general, the startup load of the device or power tool determines whether your
converter has the capability to power it.
Always run a test to establish whether the converter will operate a particular
piece of equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the converter is
designed to automatically shut down.
This safety feature prevents damaging the converter while testing devices and
equipment within the wattage range of the converter.
IMPORTANT: This converter is designed to power 100 watt devices or less when
used with the vehicle's 12 volt accessory port.
