Introduction

AIMS Power inverter series are the most advanced line of mobile 

AC

 power systems available.

This  model  is  used  in  a  wide  range  of applications including
remote homes,  

RV's

,  sail boats and power boats. It will operate

most televisions and 

VTR's

, personal computers, small appliances

and tools such as drills, sanders, grinders, mixers and blenders.

To get the most out of the power inverter, it must be installed
and used properly. please read the instructions in this manual
before installing and using this model.

a.ON/OFF switch:
   Leave in the OFF position during installation.

b.Over Temperature indicator:
   Lights when inverter protects itself against overheating.Inverter

  

   shuts down while indicator is on. Inverter will restart automatically 
   and indicator will trun off when the inverter cools.

c.Overload indicator:
   Lights when inverter shuts down because of overload. Indicator will
   turn off and inverter will restart when overload is removed.

Maintenance

Very little maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating
properly. You should clean the exterior of the unit periodically
with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt. At
the same time, tighten the screws on the DC input terminals.
