and fault icons. If a fault icon appears, refer to the "Protective
Features" section and the "Troubleshooting" section of this manual.
14. Test the inverter by turning it on and plugging in a 100 watt lamp
or equipment. If the inverter is not operating properly, then rrefer
to the "Protective Features" section and the "Troubleshooting"
section of this manual.
CAUTIONS
• The cable and fuse sizes given here are a general recommendation.
You should always consult your National Electrical Code prior to
beginning each specific installation.
• 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 our warranty.
Important Cable Information: Substantial power loss and reduced
battery operating time results from inverters 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.
Connection To Load
The Power Inverter is equipped with dual standard North American
three-prong type outlets. Plug the cord from the equipment you wish
to operate into the AC receptacle(s). Make sure the combined load
requirement of your equipment does not exceed maximum continuous
power.
The Power Inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard
electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above.
Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution
wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in
which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the
negative of the DC (battery) source.
WARNING: Do not connect to AC distribution wiring!
Operating Instructions
The two standard North American 120 volt AC outlets and three USB
ports are ready to use once the inverter is properly connected to a
functioning power source and the power button is turned on. They
allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices. Simply plug the
110/120 volt AC appliance into one of the inverter's three-prong AC
outlets and/or plug the USB-powered device into one of the inverter's
USB charging ports and operate normally.
Notes:
A. Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously plugged
into the inverter does not exceed 1000 watts continuous when
connected using the supplied battery clips or direct hardwiring.
B. This inverter's USB Charging Ports does not support data
communication. It only provides a total of 3.1A (5V each) DC
power to an external USB-powered device.
C. Not all mobile phones are provided with a charging cable, they
are normally data cables which are not supported by this device
– please check with your mobile phone manufacturer for the
correct charging cable.
CAUTION – To avoid the risk of property damage: Always connect
the inverter to the 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices
into the unit.
