must allow your batteries to recharge long enough to replace the charge
lost during inverter operation or else you will eventually run down your
batteries. To estimate the minimum amount of time you need to recharge
your batteries given your application, divide your required battery amp-
hours (from above) by your Inverter/Charger’s rated charging amps
(depending on the ON/OFF settings).
17.25 amp-hours / 40A inverter/charger rating = 0.43h recharge
Operation
Turn ON the inverter: Hold ON/OFF Button on the front panel for 3
seconds. The GREEN LED indicator light will light verifying the inverter is
receiving power
Turn OFF the inverter: Hold ON/OFF Button on the front panel for 3
seconds
When you have confirmed that the appliance to be operated is turned off,
plug an appliance cord into one of the 230V AC outlets on the front panel
of the inverter
⚫ Turn Inverter, hold the ON/OFF Button for 3 seconds
⚫ Turn the appliance ON.
To disconnect, reverse the above procedure
Note: If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn them
on separately after you have turned the inverter on. This will ensure that
the inverter does not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at
once.
Using the Inverter to Operate a TV or Audio Device
The inverter is shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference.
Despite this, some interference may occur with your television picture,
especially with weak signals. Below are some suggestions to try and
improve reception.
Make sure the television antenna produces a clear signal under normal
operating conditions (i.e. at home plugged into a standard 230 volt AC wall
outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is adequately shielded and of
good quality.
Try altering the position of the inverter, antenna cables, and television
power cord. Add an extension cord from the inverter to the TV so as to
isolate its power cord and antenna cables from the 12 volt power source.
Try coiling the television power cord and the input cables running from the
12 volt power source to the inverter.
Affix one or several “Ferrite Data Line Filters” to the television power cord.
Ferrite Data Line Filters can be purchased at most electronic supply
stores.
