-The LED indicators

A. GREEN : It indicates the inverter is power on, the cooling fan (PINV2 / PINV3) is also activated, and AC

power will be delivered to the AC outlet.

B. RED : It indicates the inverter shutdown caused by low voltage, overload, or excessive temperature.

-The ON/OFF switch

It enables output AC power at the AC outlet when switched ON. It also acts as a manual reset for overload,

low battery voltage and overheat fault conditions. Reset occurs by switching OFF for 5 seconds after

automatic shout down then back ON again. This manual reset feature prevents unexpected or hazardous

restarting of connected AC loads.

-The AC outlet

Single and dual AC outlets are provided on one end of the PINV1, PINV2 and PINV3, make sure of the

power consumption required before plug in:

A. When operated from a vehicle cigarette lighter (PINV1/PINV2/PINV3) A consumption of 150 Watts or

less for PINV1, and any combination of 115 Volt AC products with a total power consumption of 150

Watts or less for PINV2 / PINV3.

B. When operated from the directly connection to a 12 Volt battery (PINV2 / PINV3) Any combination of 115

Volt AC products with a total power consumption of 300 Watts or less for PINV2 / PINV3

CAUTION:

• Do not connect to AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING. The inverter is designed for connection directly to

standard electrical and electronic equipment.

• Do not connect the inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring.

•  Do not connect the inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground

(earth) or to the negative of DC (battery) source.

-The fuse replacement

If the inverter is overload and the spade type fuse is blown, open the fuse replacement cover at the rear of

inverter and replace the blown fuse with a new spade type fuse, 20A for PINV1, 35A for PINV2 and 30A X 2

for PINV3. 

Determine the cause of the short circuiting before restarting the inverter.
