Connection via the vehicles battery
•
It is recommended to run the vehicle’s motor for approx. 15 minutes every hour to avoid the battery from
discharging.
•
The inverter can be operated when the motor is running or when the motor is at standstill.
•
It is possible that the power inverter may not work due to the voltage drop during the starting process.
•
If not used, remove the unit from the battery.
MAINTENANCE
General problems
•
The unit is started but no permanent operation is possible: Some inductive motors may require 2-6 start-up
attempts. If the consumer only runs occasionally, switch the power inverter on and off quickly and repeatedly.
•
Humming in music systems: The loudspeakers of cheaper stereo systems may hum as they cannot filter the
modified sine waves that the power inverter generates.
•
Malfunctions when operating a TV: The inverter is already screened, although there may be visible interference,
especially if the TV signal is weak
o
Position the inverter as far away as possible from the unit, the aerial and the aerial cable.
o
Look for the best possible position for the aerial cable, the power cable, the TV and the inverter.
o
Use good quality aerial cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause
Remedy
Low outgoing voltage.
(Only
use
RMS
voltmeters)
•
The power inverter is overloaded.
•
Incoming voltage is below 10,6V.
•
Reduce the outgoing output.
•
Ensure adequate incoming voltage (over
10,6V).
Battery power is too low.
•
Poor condition of the battery.
•
Inadequate power supply of inappropriate
voltage drops.
•
Replace the battery.
•
Check the condition of the cigarette lighter.
Clean or replace.
No output.
•
Inverter not at operating temperature.
•
Battery voltage below 10V.
•
Inverter has cut-off automatically due to
overheating.
•
The fuse has blown.
•
Switch inverter on and off again. If necessary
repeat until the operated unit starts.
•
Charge or exchange the battery.
•
Allow inverter to cool down. Ensure sufficient
air circulation.
•
Exchange
fuse.
Check
correct
wire
connections when connecting the inverters.
Precautions
•
If connected directly to a battery or similar unit, check that the wires are connected correctly with regard to the
polarity.
•
Ensure that the incoming current does not exceed 15V.
•
Check that the plug and connections are tight at regular intervals. Loose connections can generate heat and
damage the inverter or the power source.
•
Improper use of the power inverter can cause injuries.
•
NOTE: The warranty will lapse in case the inverter is used improperly.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) warning
Meaning of crossed out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection
facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If
electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old
appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for
disposals at least free of charge.
