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.
