CAUTION
To avoid the risk of property damage, only mount the converter on a level, stable surface, assuring that all screws are tightened securely and
observing all of the cautions and recommendations regarding installation found in this manual.
Operating Environment
For best operating results, your converter should be placed on a flat surface, such as the ground, car floor or seat, or other solid surface to help
diffuse the heat that is generated. Position the converter as close to the DC power source as possible.
The converter should only be operated in locations that meet the following criteria:
DRY – Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the converter.
COOL – Ambient air temperature should be between 30°F (–1°C) non-condensing and 105°F (40°C). Do not place the converter on or near a
heating vent or any piece of equipment that is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the converter out of direct sunlight.
VENTILATED – Allow at least three inches of clearance from other objects to ensure free air circulation around the converter. Never place items on
or over the converter during operation.
SAFE – Do not locate converters in an area, room or compartment where explosives or flammable fumes might be present, such as engine rooms,
engine compartments, and boats or small, unvented battery compartments.
Marine Applications
DO NOT install the converter below or near the waterline, and keep the converter away from moisture and water. The unit' s housing is moisture-
resistant (NOT waterproof).
ONLY install the converter on a level, stable surface where it is not likely to fall or be knocked over; and is not subject to vibration.
Use ONLY non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
In all marine applications, always observe the directions given above, as well as those listed in the Important Safety Instructions of this manual.
Connecting to a Power Source Using the Supplied Battery Clips with "O" Ring Connectors
Use the provided battery clips (with cables and "O"ring connectors) to connect the converter directly to the 12 volt power source as follows:
1. Check to make sure the converter' s On/Off switch has been turned off (the power/fault LED is not lit) and that no flammable fumes are present
in the installation area.
2. Turn the red plastic cap (counterclockwise) on the converter' s positive (+) cable post and remove. Attach the positive "O"ring at the end of the
red battery clip cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
3. Turn the black plastic cap (counterclockwise) on the converter' s negative (–) cable post and remove. Attach the negative "O"ring at the end of
the black battery clip cable. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to secure. Do not over-tighten.
4. Make sure that all connections between cables and terminals are secure.
Direct Hardwiring to Power Source (optional connection method; hardware not included)
Use #8 AWG wire if the converter-to-power source connection is 4 feet or less. For longer cable lengths, use #6 AWG wire for lengths to 10 feet. For
cable lengths exceeding 10 feet from converter to battery, contact manufacturer for additional information. In either case, protect the positive (+)
wire from shorts by installing a 150 amp fuse or circuit breaker close to the DC power source (battery) terminal. The cable, fuse holder and fuse
(not supplied) can be purchased at an electrical supply company.
PROCEDURE
1. Check to make sure the converter' s On/Off button is turned off and that no flammable fumes are present in the installation area.
2. Identify the positive (+) and negative (–) DC power source (battery) terminals.
3. Install a fuse holder or breaker close to the positive (+) terminal of the DC source (battery).
4. Connect a length of wire on one side of the fuse holder or circuit breaker. Connect the other end of the wire to the positive (+) terminal of the
converter.
5. Connect a length of wire between the converter' s negative (–) terminal and the DC power source negative (–) terminal.
6. Connect a short length of wire to the other terminal of the fuse holder or circuit breaker. Mark it "positive"or "+".
7. Connect the free end of the fuse or breaker wire to the positive (+) terminal of the DC power source (battery).
8. Insert a fuse appropriate to the converter in the fuse holder.
9. Test the converter by turning it on and plugging in a 100 watt lamp or equipment.
10. If the converter is not properly operating, then refer to the "Troubleshooting"section of this manual.
CAUTIONS: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE
• Loose connectors may cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
• Check to make sure you have not reversed the polarity. Damage due to reversed polarity is not covered by manufacturer' s warranty.
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from converters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power.
Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an insufficient gauge. Marine installations are also
subjected to vibration and stresses that exceed those of other mobile installations. Therefore, the installer/operator should be especially aware of
6
the requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance
wiring. Cable insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to "Power and Fault Indicators on the LCD Display"for an explanation of the operating and fault icons. If a fault icon appears, refer to the
"Troubleshooting"section.
The USB port is ready to use whenever the converter is properly connected to a power source. To use the 120 volt AC outlets, however, the
converter must be properly connect to a power source and the AC on/off button must be turned on.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Always connect the converter to the 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices into the unit.
The standard North American 120 volt AC and USB outlets allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices. Simply plug the 110/120 volt AC
appliance into one of the converter' s three-prong AC outlet and/or plug the USB-powered device into the converter' s USB charging port and
operate normally.
Notes:
Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged into the converter does not exceed 800 watts continuous.
The converter will not operate appliances and equipment that generate heat, such as hair dryers, electric blankets, microwave ovens and toasters.
This converter' s USB Charging Port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-powered device.
Remember to turn the unit off and disconnect from any power source when it is not in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
1. Ideal storage temperature range is 0-40°C (32-104°F).
2. Store and use the converter in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation for all-around air circulation.
3. Avoid locations that are exposed to heating units, radiators, direct sunlight, or excessive humidity or dampness.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Audio/Visual Problems
Buzzing Sound In Audio Systems
Some inexpensive stereo systems and boom boxes make a buzzing sound when operated from the converter, because the power supply in the
electronic device does not properly filter the modified sine wave produced by the converter. The only solution to this problem is to use a sound
system that has a higher quality power supply.
Television Interference
The converter is shielded to minimize interference with TV signals. However, in some instances, some interference may still occur, particularly
where TV signals are weak. Try the following corrective measures:
• Place the converter as far as possible from the television, the antenna and the antenna cables. Use an extension cable, if necessary.
• Readjust the orientation of the converter, the antenna cables and the TV power cord to minimize interference.
• Make sure the antenna feeding the television provides an adequate ("snow free") signal and that high quality, shielded antenna cable is used.
• Do not use the converter to operate high-power appliances or tools at the same time you are using it to operate the TV.
Common Power Output Problems
Input voltage below 10.5 volts
Recharge auto battery or check DC power supply.
Equipment being operated draws too much power
Reduce load to maximum 800 watts.
Converter in thermal shutdown condition
Allow converter to cool down. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that the load is no more than 800 watts for continuous
operation.
AC output is shorted
Unplug the AC appliance. Turn off the converter. Disconnect the unit from any 12 volt DC power source. Check the appliance cord.
