• When checking AC output from an inverter with a multimeter, unless the multimeter
has a true RMS feature, it will give a low voltage reading from the output of a modified
sine wave inverter. This is normal and not an indication that the inverter or multimeter
is faulty
• Use a plug-in power monitor plugged into a domestic AC mains socket to find out the
true power consumption of an AC device. Ideally use a power monitor with a peak
current facility that will indicate the required starting current of a device
• If the appliance to be connected does not have its wattage (W) indicated on it, the
wattage can be calculated by multiplying the amperes (A) by 230
• When you have finished powering a mains device with the inverter, turn the On/
Off Switch (4) to off. The inverter always consumes power when turned on. See
'Specification' for the inverter power consumption without load. It is possible for the
inverter to drain a battery and prevent starting of a vehicle if left on, even without a load
1. Before connecting any appliance to the inverter, switch the On/Off Switch (4) to the
'On' position. After a few moments, the green Power Indicator Light (1) will illuminate.
The inverter is now ready for use
2. Do not connect loads greater than the rated maximum continuous power output
(2000W) of the inverter (see 'Specification'). The Inverter's maximum capacity is 2000W.
This may be drawn from a single socket or from a combination of the sockets, but the
total capacity of 2000W must not be exceeded. For example, using 2 x 1000W devices
is acceptable, but using 2 x 2000W devices is unacceptable.
3. Connect your AC device to either of the 230V Universal Mains Sockets (3).
Calculating Load and Runtime
• Ah rating of batteries is an approximate figure that is rarely true when a battery is
discharged at a very high rate. A 100Ah battery discharged at 5A for 20 hours is more
likely to last 20 hours than when discharged at 100A for 1 hour which will likely be fully
discharged before 1 hour
• To calculate the maximum wattage output of a battery for one hour, multiply its Ah
figure by its voltage (12V), for example a 100Ah battery is capable of 1200W for one
hour
• An easy way to calculate the approximate runtime of a mains device when connected
to an inverter and battery with a known amperes power consumption value, is to
multiply by 20 and divide the Ah figure of the battery by this calculated figure to get an
approximate figure in hours
• Convert Watts into Amperes by dividing Watts by voltage (230). Convert Amperes into
Watts by simply multiplying by 230
Protection Features
• Input over voltage: the inverter will switch off if the input DC voltage reaches or exceeds
16V. This indicates a poorly-regulated electrical system in the vehicle
• Input low voltage: the inverter will switch off if the DC voltage is approximately 10V.
This prevents damage to AC devices due to insufficient AC voltage. The DC voltage may
already be inadequate for starting the vehicle at this point. The inverter will audibly
indicate low voltage from approximately 10.5V to 10V before shutting down
• Output overload: the inverter will switch off if the sustained or peak current
requirements of the AC device or devices is too high for the inverter or the peak starting
current requirements are within the inverter specification but are lasting beyond the 1
second limit for peak current
• Output short-circuit: If there is a short circuit in the AC connections the inverter will shut
off. The internal fuses of the inverter may be blown and will need replacement at an
authorised service centre
• Overheat protection: The inverter will shut off if the internal temperature of the inverter
has reached approximately 55°C. This may occur due to inadequate ventilation,
incorrect installation, poor compatibility with an AC device, or simply due to the inverter
being used for a long period at maximum capacity. The built-in fan of the inverter is
temperature-controlled to reduce current demands of the inverter
IMPORTANT: Always try to prevent these protection features from operating in the first
place. However, it is possible that damage has already occurred before they operate.
IMPORTANT: When restarting the inverter after shutdown, make sure the issue that caused
the shutdown has been corrected.
Using the USB sockets
• The inverter is fitted with two USB sockets (5), which provide a maximum of 500mA
current each. If you have a device that can be charged via USB or mains, always use the
USB as it makes more efficient use of energy
Accessories
• A range of accessories are available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be
obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: The inverter contains no user serviceable parts. Some internal components
retain a dangerous high charge level even when disconnected from power. In the event a
short circuit occurs and blows the internal fuses, even though spare fuses may be supplied
these should be replaced by an authorised service centre or qualified electrician.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft
brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to
dispose of power tools
