PCCU-100 INVERTER OPERATION 

 
The PCCU-100 is a 

lithium ion

 battery to 115 VAC power inverter 

targeted to power predominately low power electronic appliances.  
Operation is as follows: 
 

1.  The recommended power connection sequence is as follows:

  

With PCCU-100 power switch in off position, first connect a charged EM-
100 battery pack to the PCCU-100.  Next, connect the appliance to be 
powered to the PCCU-100 power receptacle using an appropriate GFCI 
power cord / module.  If the appliance has its own power switch, it should 
be in the off position as well.  Next turn the PCCU-100 power switch to 
the on position and visualize that it illuminates.  Power is now being 
supplied to the appliance.  Finally, turn the appliance power switch to the 
on position.   
 

2.  If appliance operation is intermittent

 it may be drawing too much 

power for the PCCU-100.  Verify that the appliance is operating properly 
and that its power level is 50 W or less. 
 

3.  Turn off the PCCU-100

 power switch before plugging or unplugging 

appliances or before plugging or unplugging battery packs.  Whenever 
power is not needed, turn off the PCCU-100 power switch for safety and 
to maximally conserve battery power. 
 

4.  An audible tone is provided

 when battery power is depleted and the 

PCCU-100 is about to or has shut down.  

ALWAYS ASSUME HIGH 

VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT THE POWER RECEPTACLE

.  Turn off the 

PCCU-100 before plugging or unplugging appliances or battery packs. 
 

5.  External fuse: 

The PCCU-100 has a fuse protecting against input 

(battery) over current conditions.  The SIPS

 

TM

 Scalable Intelligent Power 

Systems components are designed to shutdown electronically in 
advance of fuses opening.  Should the fuse become blown, a damaged 
unit may be indicated and it is recommended that the PCCU-100 be 
returned for inspection and repair if needed.  In no event should the 
external fuse be replaced with any fuse other than one identical to the 
factory supplied type, 10A, 32V blade type fast acting. 
 
 

 

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 

 

Moisture, extreme heat and extreme cold should be avoided when 
storing (or using) the PCCU-100.  Refrain from exposing the 
inverter to rain, snow, or moisture of any kind.  When storing the 
inverter, a cool, dry location is best.  All appliances should be 
unplugged from the inverter and the battery pack removed prior to 
storing.
