CAUTION! Equipment Damage.
Do not connect this Inverter and another AC source (generator or
utility power) to the AC wiring or AC loads at the same time. Doing
so will destroy the Inverter and void the warranty, regardless of
whether the Inverter is switched on or off. If you are using more
than one AC source for the AC wiring or AC loads, it is highly rec-
ommended that you install an automatic transfer switch (GP-TS,
TS-30, or TS-50), available from Go Power!
INSTALLATION
4.4 GP-225HD: INSTALLATION AND TESTING
IMPORTANT
: most North American car lighters are rated between 10-15 Amps DC and are
fused in the automobile fuse box.
Please consult your automobile owner’s manual for the fuse rating of your lighter. It is
recommended that you DO NOT exceed the load capability your vehicles electrical system,
or modify the size of the fuses installed by the manufacturer.
1.
Unpack and inspect your Inverter, and make sure the power switch is in the OFF
position.
2.
Insert DC input plug into any 12 VDC car lighter receptacle.
3.
Set the Inverter switch to the ON position. The power status LED should be green.
4.
Set the Inverter switch to the OFF position. The indicator lights may blink and the
internal alarm may sound momentarily. This is normal.
5.
Ensure the test load switch is OFF. Plug the test load into the AC receptacle on the
front panel of the Inverter.
6.
Set the Inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test load on; the Inverter should
supply power to the load.
Note: if you plan to measure the output voltage of the Inverter, a true RMS meter must be
used for accurate readings.
