IMPORTANT!
The normal voltage drop that occurs when the vehicle's engine is started may trigger the
power inverter's low-voltage shutdown feature. We recommend having the
power inverter disconnected from the vehicle's 12 V outlet when starting the engine.
Connecting the power inverter to a 12 V vehicle battery (loads up to 240 W)
Safety guidelines for handling batteries
DANGER!
A spark may be visible when making the connection to a battery because a current will flow
to charge the capacitors in the power inverter. Do not make this connection in the
presence of flammable fumes. Explosion or fire may result.
Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection.
DANGER!
Take special care when working with a car battery. Batteries contain corrosive materials and
present an
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
DANGER!
Do not use the car battery in the proximity of open flames. Do not smoke when using a car battery.
WARNING!
Remove any jewellery (watch, ring, etc.). Be careful not to short-circuit the battery with any
metallic object (wrench, etc.).
WARNING!
To prevent irritation and burns, wear protective eyewear and clothing when you install the
power inverter or work with a vehicle battery. Should battery acid come into contact
with skin or eyes, flush it with water and consult your physician.
CAUTION!
Power connections from a 12 V battery to the power inverter must be
POSITIVE (RED)
TO POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE (BLACK ) TO NEGATIVE
. A reverse polarity connection (positive
to negative) will blow a fuse in the power inverter and may permanently damage the
unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION!
Loose connectors result in an excessive voltage drop and may result in overheated wires and
melted insulation.
CAUTION!
Do not start the vehicle engine during operation.
• Follow the instructions in the section ( See connecting the connector cables to the
power inverter) to connect the DC cable to the power inverter.
• If the battery can be switched off, switch it off.
• Fasten the positive / + (red) clamp to the positive / + battery post, and then fasten the
negative / - (black) clamp to the negative / - battery post. Make sure to have a secure
connection.
