2. OPERATION STEPS 

1.  Make sure environment is cool and dry. 

2.  Plug the unit into the vehicle’s accessory outlets. 

3.  Rotate the plug slightly to ensure good and firmly connection. 

4.  Green LED light on indicates a proper operation. 

5.  Plug in the AC appliance. 

The vehicle’s accessory outlets must provide between 11 and 15 volts DC and must be able to 
supply the necessary current to operate the load. To obtain a rough estimate of the current (in 
amperes) the power source must deliver; simply divide the power consumption of the load (in 
watts AC) by 10. 

Example: lf a load is rated at 80 watts AC, the power source must be able to deliver: 80 divided 
by 10=8 amperes 

Testing is the only definitive way to determine whether a specific load can be started and how 
long it can run. The unit will shut down if it is overloaded.   

CAUTION:

 Check the maximum supply current of your vehicle’s 12V outlet by referring to your 

vehicle’s owner manual. 

CAUTION:

  The  unit  must  be  connected  only  to  batteries  with  a  nominal  output  voltage  of  12 

volts.  The  unit  will  not  operate  from  a  6  volt  battery,  and  will  sustain  permanent  damage  if 
connected to a 24 volt battery. 

CAUTION:

  Do  not  use  with  positive  ground  electrical  systems.  (The  majority  of  modern 

automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground). 

 

3. PROTECTIVE FEATURES 

OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

 – If the temperature inside the unit is too high, the unit 

will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before restarting after a 
heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling. 

LOW  BATTERY  VOLTAGE  PROTECTION

  -  The  unit  automatically  shuts  down  when  input 

voltage drops to around 10.0 volts. When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted. 

OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION

 – The unit will automatically shut down when the input voltage 

exceeds 15.5 volts DC.
