• Connect the red cable to the post marked positive

(+) on the back panel of the inverter. Connect the

red battery clip to the positive (+) terminal of the bat-

tery.

• Check that all the connections between battery clips

and terminals are secure

CAUTION:

Loose connections may cause overheated wires and

melted insulation. Check to make sure you have not

reversed the polarity.

Connection to load

The inverter is equipped with a standard AC household

type socket. Plug the cord from the appliance you wish

to use into the socket. Make sure that the combined

load requirement of your equipment does not exceed

the rated watts.

The 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 recreational vehicle AC distri-

bution wiring .Do not connect the inverter to any AC

load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected

to earth or the negative of the DC (battery) source.

WARNING:

Never connect to AC distribution wiring.

CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be re-

charged by plugging them directly in to a household

socket. This type of device must never be used in the

inverter. The device will damage the inverter. Do not

use the inverter to recharge items that can be plugged

directly into a household socket. This problem does not

occur with the vast majority of battery-operated equip-

ment. Most of these devices use a separate charger

or transformer that is plugged into an AC household

socket. The inverter is easily capable of running most

chargers and transformers.

POSITIONING THE INVERTER

For best operating results, the inverter should be

placed on a ﬂ at surface such as the ground, car ﬂ oor

or seat, or another solid surface. The unit is equipped

with a 1 meter-power cord for easy positioning. The in-

verter should only be used in locations that meet the

following criteria.

• Dry : do not allow water or liquids to come into con-

tact with the inverter

• Cool: ambient air temperature should be between

-1 ºС non-condensing, and 40 ºС. Do not place the

inverter on or near a heating vent or any equipment,

which is generating heat above room temperature

keep the inverter out of direct sunlight.

Ventilated: keep the area surrounding the inverter clear

to ensure free air circulation around the unit. Do not

place items on or near the unit whilst it is operating. A

fan is helpful if the unit is operating at maximum power

outputs for extended periods of time. If the internal tem-

perature of the inverter exceeds 90 ºС the inverter will

shut down and restart when it has cooled.

The modiﬁ ed sine wave produced by the inverter has

an RMS (root mean square) voltage, which is the same

as standard household power. Most AC voltmeters

(analog and digital) are sensitive to the average value

of the waveform rather than the RMS value. They are

calibrated for RMS voltage under the assumption that

waveform measured will be a pure sine wave. Voltme-

ters will not read the RMS voltage of a modiﬁ ed sine

wave correctly. The reading will be around 20-30 volts

too low when measuring the inverters output.

INSTALLING THE INVERTER

Power source requirements

The power source for the inverter must provide be-

tween 11 and 15 volts DC and must be able to supply

the necessary current to operate the load. The power

source may be a battery or a well regulated DC power

supply. To obtain a rough estimate of the current in

Amps the power source must deliver simply divide the

power consumption of the load by 10.

Example: If a load is rated at 700 watts AC, the power

source must be able to deliver 700 by 10=70Amps.

CAUTION:

The inverter must be connected only to batteries with a

nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The inverter will not

work if connected to a 6 volts battery and will sustain

permanent damage if connected to a 24 volts battery.

Connecting to the power source

The inverter is equipped with a cigarette lighter plug

and battery clip cables (Inverter of 150 watts output

without battery clip cables) for connection directly to

the power source.

Using the fused cigarette lighter plug

The cigarette lighter plug is suitable for operating the

inverter at power outputs up to 150 watts. The tip of the

plug is positive and the side contact negative. Connect

the inverter to the power source by ﬁ rmly inserting the

cigarette lighter plug into the cigarette lighter socket.

CAUTION:

Connect directly to battery or power source when

operating above 150watts.

NOTE:

Most vehicle cigarette lighter circuits use fuses rated at

15 to 20 amps or greater. To operate at full output use

the battery clip cable.

Connecting to a power source using provided ca-

bles

If the inverter is to be used for extended periods at

power levels above 150 watts, direct connection to the

power source is required. Use the leads provided to

connect directly to the 12-volt power source using the

following guidelines

• Check that the inverter is switched off and no ﬂ am-

mable fumes are present

• Connect the black cable to the post marked nega-

tive (-) on the back panel of the inverter Connect the

black clip to the negative (-) terminal the battery
