IMPORTANT:
For loads less than 150 W, use the
lighter plug; for loads greater than 150 W use the
12 V cable clips to connect the power inverter
directly to a 12 V battery. (for models with this
feature).
USING THE DC CABLE WITH CIGARETTE-LIGHTER PLUG
Due to limitations of 12 V (ligher-plug) outlets in
vehicles or boats, the lighter plug should only be
used to supply AC power to products that require
130 W (about 1,15 A) or less.
1. Insert the cigarette-lighter adapter inside of 12 V outlet.
2. Plug the device you want to operate into the power
inverter.
3. Press the ON (I) / OFF (0) switch. (except for IC4075)
IC5300 & IC5500 MODELS
1. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) DC cables
to the positive (+) and negative (-) DC terminals on
the power inverter.
2. Plug the device you want to operate into the power
inverter.
3. Press the ON (I) / OFF (0) switch.
Note
:
When the power inverter is not in use, unplug
it from the 12 V outlet to prevent slight discharge
of the battery.
USING THE DC CABLE WITH 12 V CABLE CLIPS
(FOR IC5500 & IC5300 SURTEK MODELS)
Warning:
The wires in most 12 V sockets or
power outlets are not large enoug for loads greater
than 150 W: they will overheat and present a fire
hazard.
For loads greater than 150 W, connect the inverter
directly to the battery and use appropriately sized
wires like those in the battery clip wire assembly
provided with the inverter.
IMPORTANT:
Reversing the positive and negative
battery cables will damage the inverter and void
your warranty. When you connect the inverter to
the battery, double check the connections.
The red (po) terminal on the inverter and
the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
The black wire must be connected to the black
terminal on the inverter and the negative terminal
on the battery.
THE BATTERY CABLE CLIPS SHOULD BE USED TO SUPPLY AC
POWER TO PRODUCTS THAT REQUIRE 150 W OR GREATER.
1. Attach the supplied cable clips to the inverter.
2. Attach the red clip to the red (positive)
battery terminal.
3. Attach the black clip to the black (negative)
battery terminal.
4. Check that both clips are securely connected to
the battery terminal. A loose connection will cause
excessive voltage drop and may cause the cables to
overheat. This could result in equipment damage
or fire.
5. Plug the device you want to operate into the power
inverter.
6. Press the ON / OFF switch.
7. When the power inverter is not in use, unplug
it from the 12 V outlet to prevent slight discharge
of the battery.
1. When properly connected to a 12 V outlet, and
when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, the
green LED light will glow, indicating that the pow-
er inverter is ready to use.
2. Plug the product (s) you want to operate into
the AC outlet.
• AS THE BATTERY IS USED, ITS VOLTAGE BEGINS TO FALL.
When the power inverter senses that the voltage
at its DC input has dropped to 10,5 V the inverter
automatically shuts down and the light red LED
lights, indicating a fault.
This prevents the battery from being damaged.
Turn off any device that the power inverter is pow-
ering.
