** Peak Output Power is instantaneous. The policy of Tripp Lite is one of continuous improvement. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Although you can operate your Inverter with your vehicle engine off, best results are usually attained with the engine
running. Since the Inverter converts electrical energy (and doesn't produce it), the Inverter's performance is relative to the
condition of your vehicle's electrical system (battery, alternator and wiring). If other loads (air conditioner, heater, lights,
etc.) are also using power, you may get less runtime.

1/2 Load (engine on/engine off)
Full Load* (engine on/engine off)
NOTE: Due to the limitations of certain vehicles' 12V DC lighter/accessory outlet electrical systems, you may not be able to continuously
run a full load (375 watts) from your PVINT375. If you regularly blow fuses, it may indicate your vehicle is not adequately wired to support
a PVINT375 as it is designed. In this case, consult vehicle manufacturer recommendations for rewiring from the fuse block or battery with
appropriate wiring (8 - 10 gauge) and fusing (at least 40 amp).

Problem
Low battery voltage (<10.5 V).
Output overload.
Automatic Inverter shutdown due
to low battery voltage (<10V).
Automatic Inverter shutdown due
to output overload.
Blown fuse.
Battery running low. Low battery
voltage reduces Inverter power
output.
Connected equipment load
exceeds Inverter's maximum
continuous output power.
Loose connections.
Audio/video interference.

Correction
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to
recharge vehicle battery.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by
unplugging high-wattage devices. Load
should not exceed your Inverter's maximum
continuous output power (see Specifications).
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to
recharge vehicle battery.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by
unplugging high-wattage devices. Load
should not exceed your Inverter's maximum
continuous output power (see Specifications).
Replace fuse with standard automotive fuse
of identical amperage (see Specifications).
Turn Inverter OFF and run engine to
recharge vehicle battery.
Turn Inverter OFF and remove overload by
unplugging high-wattage devices. Load
should not exceed your Inverter's maximum
continuous output power (see Specifications).
Check and secure all connections.
Reposition equipment antennas and Inverter.
