Turning the Inverter Off Between Uses
The Mobile Digital Power Inverter draws less than 2 A from the battery with
the ON/OFF switch turned on and no load connected, but left in this state
the Mobile Digital Power Inverter will eventually discharge the battery.
To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the Mobile Digital Power Inverter
off when you are not using it.
Operating Limits
Power Output
The Mobile Digital Power Inverter can deliver up to 1500 W continuous.
The wattage rating applies to resistive loads such as incandescent lights.
Input Voltage
The allowable Mobile Digital Power Inverter input voltage ranges are shown in the
following table.
Operating Condition Voltage Range Comment
Normal 11.0 V–15.0 V
Optimum Performance 12.0 V–13.0 V
Low Voltage Alarm 10.5 V ‐ 11.5 V The low battery alarm sounds
Low Voltage Shutdown 10.0 V ‐ 11.0 V The inverter shuts down to protect the
battery from being over ‐ discharged
High Voltage
Shutdown
15.0 V ‐ 16.3 V The inverter shuts down to protect
itself from excessive input voltage.
Note: Although the Mobile Digital Power
Inverter incorporates over ‐ voltage
protection, it can still be damaged if
input voltage exceeds 16.3 V.
Inverter Loads
The Mobile Digital Power Inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating
of 1500 W. However, some appliances and equipment may be difficult to operate,
and other appliances may actually be damaged if you try to operate them with the
Mobile Digital Power Inverter. Please read “High Surge Loads” and “Trouble Loads”
carefully.
High Surge Loads
Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, and other motor ‐ operated
equipment require high surge currents to start. The Mobile Digital Power Inverter
may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw
is within the inverter’s limits. The Mobile Digital Power Inverter will normally start
single ‐ phase induction motors rated at 1/2 horsepower or less.
Note: Although the Inverter can supply momentary surge power up to 3000 W, some
appliances may exceed the capabilities of the Inverter and trigger the safety
