IMPORTANT: Vehicle batteries are designed to provide short periods of very high current needed
for engine starting. They are not intended for constant deep discharge. Regularly operating the
inverter shortens the life of the battery. Consider connecting the inverter to a separate deep
discharge type battery if you will be frequently running electrical products for long time.
5.
If an AC product rated higher than the rated continuous power (or which draws excessive surge
power) is connected, the inverter will shut down .The red FAULT light will turn on.
6.
If the inverter exceeds a safe operating temperature, due to insufficient ventilation or a high
temperature environment, it will automatically shut down. The red FAULT light will turn on and the audio
warning will sound.
7.
Should a defective battery charging system cause the battery voltage to rise to dangerously high
levels, the inverter automatically shuts down.
CAUTION! Although the inverter incorporates protection against over-voltage, it may still be
damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
8. The cooling fan is designed to operate only when the temperature is higher than 40
℃
.
9. In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the inverter will automatically shut
down (See Section 4).
Battery Operating Time
Operating time will vary depending on the charge level of the battery, its capacity and the power level
drawn by the particular AC load.
When using the battery of the vehicle as a power source, it is strongly recommended to start the
vehicle every hour or two to recharge the battery before its capacity drops too low. The inverter can
operate while the engine is running, but the normal voltage drop that occurs during starting may trigger
the inverter’s low voltage shut down feature.
Because the inverter draws less than the no-load current draw with the ON/OFF switch in ON position
and with no AC products connected, it has minimal impact on battery operating times.
Interference with Electronic Equipment
Generally, most AC products operate with the inverter just as they would with household AC power.
Below is information concerning two possible exceptions.
Buzzing Sound in Audio Systems and Radios
Some inexpensive stereo systems, “boom boxes”, and AM-FM radios have inadequate internal power
supply filtering and “buzz” slightly when powered by the inverter. Generally, the only solution is an audio
product with a higher quality filter.
Television Interference
The inverter is shielded to minimize its interference with TV signal. However, with weak TV signals
interference may be visible in the form of lines scrolling across the screen. The following should minimize
