Introduction

 

 

Congratulations

 

on

 

your

 

purchase

 

of

 

the

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter!

 

The

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter

 

has

 

been

 

designed

 

to

 

give

 

you

 

quality

 

power,

 

ease

 

of

 

use,

 

and

 

reliability.

 

Please

 

take

 

a

 

few

 

moments

 

to

 

read

 

this

 

chapter

 

to

 

familiarize

 

yourself

 

with

 

the

 

main

 

performance

 

features

 

and

 

protection

 

features

 

of

 

the

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter.

 

 

Quality

 

Power

   

The

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter

 

is

 

a

 

quality

 

inverter

 

designed

 

for

 

recreational

 

vehicle

 

(RV)

 

and

 

truck

 

applications.

 

 

The

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter

 

provides

 

up

 

to

 

1500

 

W

 

of

 

continuous

 

power.

 

It

 

is

 

designed

 

to

 

handle

 

loads

 

such

 

as

 

600

 

W

 

microwaves,

 

TVs,

 

VCRs,

 

and

 

midsized

 

power

 

tools.

 

 

The

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter’s

 

high

 

surge

 

capability

 

lets

 

you

 

handle

 

many

 

hard

to

start

 

loads,

 

including

 

large

 

TVs

 

and

 

small

 

refrigerators.

 

 

When

 

the

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter

 

is

 

on

 

but

 

no

 

power

 

is

 

being

 

supplied

 

to

 

a

 

load,

 

the

 

inverter

 

will

 

draw

 

less

 

than

 

2A.

   

Please

 

turn

 

the

 

inverter

 

off

 

when

 

not

 

in

 

use

 

to

 

prevent

 

unnecessary

 

battery

 

discharge.

 

 

The

 

remote

 

control

 

will

 

function

 

when

 

the

 

power

 

switch

 

on

 

the

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Inverter

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

off

 

position.

   

It

 

will

 

not

 

function

 

when

 

the

 

switch

 

is

 

turned

 

on.

   

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

remote

 

control

 

cable

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

inverter

 

securely

 

and

 

the

 

switch

 

is

 

off

 

before

 

operating

 

the

 

remote

 

control.

 

 

The

 

cooling

 

fan

 

will

 

activate

 

under

 

two

 

conditions.

   

1)

 

When

 

loads

 

are

 

attached

 

to

 

the

 

inverter

 

and

 

draw

 

a

 

significant

 

amount

 

of

 

power,

 

2)

 

When

 

the

 

internal

 

temperature

 

exceeds

 

the

 

inverters

 

ambient

 

operating

 

temperature.

 

 

The

 

cooling

 

fan

 

will

 

turn

 

off

 

under

 

two

 

conditions.

   

1)

 

When

 

the

 

loads

 

attached

 

to

 

the

 

inverter

 

are

 

removed

 

and

 

no

 

longer

 

draw

 

a

 

significant

 

amount

 

of

 

power.

 

2)

 

When

 

the

 

internal

 

temperature

 

is

 

at

 

the

 

inverters

 

ambient

 

operating

 

temperature.

 

 

Ease

 

of

 

Use

 

Superior

 

features

 

and

 

rugged

 

durability

 

have

 

been

 

combined

 

with

 

ease

 

of

 

use:

 

 

The

 

Mobile

 

Digital

 

Power

 

Inverter

 

is

 

compact,

 

light

 

weight,

 

and

 

easy

 

to

 

 

install.

 

 

Loads

 

can

 

be

 

powered

 

directly

 

from

 

the

 

AC

 

outlets.
