• power has been switched on. Once on, the outlets will work like
normal
• AC wall outlets in your home.
• In order to protect the inverter and battery, any sustained discharge
over 1800w will cause the unit to shut down. It can subsequently be
reset.
• The watt meter, found on the bottom row of the LCD display, shows
the amount of energy being used by the inverter. Please note this
energy output is an estimation, and actual output may vary from
displayed values.
• Because the watt meter measures inverter output, it will show
wattage only for loads plugged into the AC output ports. This meter
will never display energy output from DC ports.
DC USAGE OUTLETS
WARNING
Never use a damaged or frayed
DC cord; electrical shock can
occur if DC cord is damaged or
frayed. If DC cord is damaged,
replace with a new cord before
proceeding with DC usage
(request replacements via
Contact Information on pg. 2).
• How you use the DC Anderson Powerpole outlets (see E) depends
on the amperage of your chosen load. For loads between 0 and 15
amps, you can use an Anderson Powerpole extension cord. First,
plug the extension cord into the desired device. Then, plug the other
end of the extension cord into the Anderson Powerpole outlet on the
front of the generator (plug black into black and red into red). Do not
use an Anderson Powerpole extension cable for loads greater than
15 amps. For loads greater than 15 amps but less than the 20-amp
max, plug the device directly into the Anderson Powerpole outlets.
• To use the DC cigarette outlet (see F), simply plug in any 12-volt
device that is rated for a maximum of 10 ams and operates as
normal.
