5.2 CONNECTING AC LOADS
1. Plug 120V device(s) into the receptacles. Make sure all devices are turned off, and that they
do not use more than the rated wattage during continuous operation, otherwise they may
overload the Inverter.
2. Set the power switch to the ON position.
3. Turn the device(s) on, one at a time. If the alarm sounds, turn off the device(s). Unplug the
device(s) from the Inverter. Check the wattage of the device(s), and if plugging in multiple
devices, discontinue use of one or more. If a single device sets the alarm off, it is not appro-
priate for use with the Inverter.
4. If the Inverter is powered by a vehicle’s starting battery, be careful not to discharge the
battery to the point that it will no longer start the engine. If needed, operate the engine pe-
riodically to maintain the batteries charge. Do not operate a vehicle’s engine in an enclosed
space.
5.3 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
The ON/OFF switch turns the control circuit in the Inverter ON and OFF. It does not disconnect
power from the Inverter.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the Inverter draws no current from the battery. When
the switch is in the ON position but with no load, the power idle current is approximately 1-1.2A
(see product specifications for the exact current draw).
5.4 OPTIONAL ON/OFF REMOTE
The optional remote switch (sold separately) can be used to turn the Inverter on and off from a
location up to 25 ft (8 m) away. The Inverter should be OFF when plugging remote in. Once the
remote is installed, the Inverter ON/OFF switch must be in the ON position.
