3. Connect the cables as follows:
•
If using the DC Plug Adapter Cord—Up to 180W Output:
A. Connect the red (+) and black (−) terminals of the supplied DC Plug Adapter Cord to
the red (+) and black (−) terminals on the rear of the inverter.
•
Be sure to connect them into the correct polarity terminals on the rear of the
inverter. Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuse in the inverter and can
permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will void
the warranty.
B. Connect the Plug end of the DC Adapter Cable into your vehicle's 12V DC accessory
outlet. You may need to place the ignition switch to Accessory Position if the vehicle
engine is not operating.
•
If using the Battery Clip Adapter Cord—Up to 250W Output:
A. Connect the Negative (−) cable end to the inverter terminal and battery's Negative
Terminal. Make sure you have good, secure connections.
B. Attach the positive cable to the Positive (+) DC connector on the battery and then the
inverter. Make sure the connections are tight and secure .
4. Turn on the inverter from the Front Panel ON/OFF Switch.
5. Make certain that the green Operating LED is lit and the red FAULT LED indicator is not lit.
6. Turn OFF (O) the inverter. The Fault LED may briefly flash; this is normal. The audible alarm
may also sound a short chirp; this is also normal.
7. When you have confirmed that the appliance to be operated is turned off, plug the
appliance into one of the AC outlets on the inverter.
8. Turn the inverter on.
9. Turn the appliance on. The appliance should begin working.
10. Observe the LED indicators for normal operation.
If flooded lead acid batteries are used, be sure that periodic checks of battery electrolyte levels
are accomplished. Follow battery manufacturer's instructions in keeping the electrolytes at the
proper level. Be sure to use pure distilled water when replacing evaporated electrolyte liquid.
RECOMMENDATIONS
•
If the power inverter makes a beeping sound, turn OFF the inverter, disconnect all
appliances from the inverter. The beeping sound is the low battery warning that indicates
that the voltage of the battery power supply is getting low. Please restart the vehicle engine
to charge the battery before using it to operate the inverter again.
•
When you are not using the inverter, turn the power switch to OFF. This conserves battery
power.
