2. Usage safety
Electrical equipment:
ATTENTION! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury or even death.
Whenever "device" or "product" are used in the warnings
and instructions, it shall mean car power inverter. Do not
use in very humid environments or in the direct vicinity
of water tanks. Prevent the device from getting wet. Risk
of electric shock! Do not cover air inlets / outlets. When
in use, do not put your hands or other items inside the
device!
3.1 Electrical safety
a)
Use the cable only in accordance with its designated
use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the
plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat
sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
b)
It is forbidden to connect both inputs and outputs of
the power inverter to energy sources from the power
grid.
c)
Be aware that there is voltage in the power supply
inverter connected to the power source. Even if the
switch is in the Off position, there still is a risk of
electric shock.
d)
In order to connect the receiving device to the car
power inverter, it is necessary to use the original,
unmodified plugs that match a given socket.
Original plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk
of electric shock.
e)
Always make sure that the parameters of the
receiving device correspond to the parameters
generated by the car power inverter.
3.2 Safety at the workplace
a)
Do not use the device in an explosion hazard zone,
for example in the presence of flammable liquids,
gasses or dust. The device generates sparks which
may ignite dust or fumes.
8
b)
Upon discovering damage or irregular operation,
immediately switch the device off and report it to
a supervisor without delay.
c)
If there are any doubts as to the correct operation
of the device, contact the manufacturer's support
service.
d)
Only the manufacturer's service point may repair the
device. Do not attempt any repairs independently!
e)
If a fire starts, use solely powder or carbon dioxide
(CO
) fire extinguishers suitable for use on live
2
devices to put it out.
REMEMBER! When using the device, protect children
and other bystanders.
3.3 Personal safety
a)
Do not use the device when tired, ill or under the
influence of alcohol, narcotics or medication which
can significantly impair the ability to operate the
device.
b)
To prevent the device from accidentally switching on,
make sure the switch is on the OFF position before
connecting to a power source.
3.4 Safe device use
a)
Do not overload the device. Use appropriate tools for
the given task. A correctly selected device will perform
the task for which it was designed better and in a safer
manner.
b)
Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not
function properly (does not switch the device on and
off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off
using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should not
be operated and must be repaired.
c)
Maintain the device in a good technical state. Before
each use check for general damage and especially
check for cracked parts or elements and for any other
conditions which may impact the safe operation of
the device. If damage is discovered, hand over the
device for repair before use.
d)
Keep the device out of the reach of children.
e)
Device repair or maintenance should be carried out by
qualified persons, only using original spare parts. This
will ensure safe use.
f)
To ensure the operational integrity of the device, do
not remove factory fitted guards and do not loosen
any screws
g)
Provide the space around the device for a width of
min. 5cm.
h)
The device must be protected against water soaking
and adverse weather conditions.
i)
During intensive use the device housing may
significantly heat up.
j)
Do not cover the device with any fabrics or items.
k)
Do not use damaged or faulty batteries as a power
supply source.
l)
Never leave the device connected to a power supply
when not in use!
4. Use guidelines
The car power inverter is a device designed to change
a 12V DC voltage to 230 V alternating voltage. It will be
used on campsites, boats, etc., where there is no electricity
supplied from the grid.
The user is liable for any damage resulting from non-
intended use of the device.

4.2 Preparing for use
The device must be unpacked and checked for any damage
it may have experienced during transport. The work surface
where the device will be located must be suitable for the
size of the appliance, please refer to the measurements. The
work surface must be levelled, dry, heat-resistant and at
a fitting height from the ground to enable a proper use of
the device. The ambient temperature should be between 0
and 40°C. The battery to which the device will be connected
should be functional, charged and have data in accordance
with the input parameters of the power inverter.
4.3 Device use
Operating
•
Make sure that the On / Off switch is in the Off „O"
position.
•
Connect the connected wires to the appropriate
poles of the power inverter "+" and "-".
•
Connect the wires to the battery with the voltage
compatible with the input voltage of the car power
inverter.
•
Pay special attention to connect the cables correctly,
i.e. so that the cable to both the converter and the
battery will be connected to the same pole. Change
of the poles may damage the car power inverter.
Rev. 10.07.2018
•
Do not use excessive force when tightening the
wires to the terminals on the battery and the power
inverter, as this may damage the equipment.
•
Some models have an adapter for connecting the
power inverter to the cigarette lighter as a 12VDC
voltage source. In case of using the adapter, it is
necessary to connect the wires to the power inverter,
keeping compatibility of the marking on the cable
with the marking on the terminal. And then insert the
plug into the cigarette lighter socket.
•
Always make sure that the power of the device being
connected does not exceed the car inverter power
value.
•
Connect the receiving device powered by 230V AC
voltage. Turn on the voltage on the 230V socket by
switching the On / Off switch to the On "I" position.
When the power supply to the socket is turned on,
the cooling fan of the device will be started.

The green LED (3) informs that the device is working
properly, while the active LED (2) informs that one of
the device protections has been triggered.
•
The USB port is active when the power inverter
is connected to the power supply and the On /
Off switch is in the Off "O" position. For example,
a mobile phone can be charged using the port.
Protections
The device has the following protections:
•
Overload protection
•
Overheating protection released when the device
temperature is above ca. 65°C
•
Protection against too low voltage, i.e. protection of
the battery against excessive discharging or before
connecting the device to the lighter socket with too
low voltage.
•
Protection against too high voltage
•
Short-circuit protection at the output of the device.
Usage tips
•
In the case of having to connect the power inverter
to the battery installed in the car, it is recommended
to start the car engine and only then to connect the
power inverter. It is not recommended to connect
the inverter to a switched off car engine, as this may
cause excessive battery discharging preventing the
car from being able to start.
•
It is forbidden to use the power inverter connected
by wires to the car battery, if the car is moving. In
case there is car movement, it is only possible to use
the power inverter connection with the adapter for
the cigarette lighter socket.
•
Do not leave the power inverter under the car hood.
•
It is forbidden to put the power inverter on the
battery.
•
The device power is between 12 and 13V for the
inverter voltage supply.
