2. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the power inverter. The inverter is a compact and highly portable power

inverter, the leader in the field of high frequency inverter design. From the 12V DC outlet in your vehicle
or boat, or directly from a dedicated 12V DC battery, or the solar power bank,

the inverter will efficiently and reliably power a wide variety of household AC products, such as TVs,
computers, VCRs, and includes automatic safety monitoring circuitry to protect the inverter, and your
battery, from inadvertent overload conditions.

Read this guide before installing or using the inverter and save it for future reference.

Safety Features

These advanced safety features are built into the inverter:

Electronic overload protection with automatic shutdown.

Built-in internal backup DC fuse provides added safety.

Low battery voltage protection with automatic shutdown.

Over temperature protection with automatic shutdown.

Output short circuit protection.

3. Installation Guidelines

Selecting a Suitable Location
For safe and optimum performance, install the inverter in a location that is …..

Dry.

Do not expose to water drip or spray.

Cool.

Operate only in ambient temperatures between 32

(0

)and 104

(40

). Keep away from

furnace heating vents or other heat producing equipment.

Well ventilated.

Allow at least 2 inches (5cm) clearance above and on all sides of the unit for proper

cooling.

Safe.

Do not install inverter in a compartment with batteries or

flammable liquids, such as gasoline, or explosive vapors.

Clean and free of dust and dirt.

This is especially important if the inverter is used in a work

environment.

Using the DC Cable-Ring terminal

Due to limitations in the common 12V DC outlet in a vehicle or boat, the inverter should only be used to
supply AC power to products that require the rated continuous power or less. If your application requires
more than the rated power (but less than the rated continuous power) or has a high start-up surge, see
using the

DC Cable-Clips.

1. Attach the ring type connector marked with red to the positive (+) DC terminal on the inverter and

attach the ring connector marked with black to the negative (-) DC terminal.

CAUTION! A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may damage the inverter. Damage
caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered under warranty.

2. Tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug. Do not over tighten.
3. Insert the plug of this cable into the 12V DC outlet and switch the unit ON. See Section 4 if the

inverter does not operate properly after being connect.

4. When the inverter is not in use, unplug it from the 12V DC outlet to prevent slight discharge of the

Battery.
