Working with Inverters
•
Do not expose the inverter to moisture, including rain, snow, spray mist, or excessive
humidity. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Do not install the inverter in a non-ventilated space. Overheating may result.
•
Use appropriate cables and attachments. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make
sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition; and that wire size is not undersized.
Do not use damaged or low grade wires. To ensure adherence to proper electrical wiring
regulations all wiring must be done by a certified technician or electrician.
Respect guidelines for the capacity of their inverter and recommended wire gage to be used.
Do not use inverter if it has been dropped or damaged.
•
Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the inverter. Risk of shock and fire. Any alterations
to the inverter will render the warranty void.
•
Disconnect the inverter from all connections before performing any maintenance on any of
the equipment, such as changing a fuse on the inverter.
•
The inverter must be grounded. Grounding and all other wiring must comply with local
codes and ordinances. Grounding may be made to the chassis of most vehicles or to an
earth ground. Make sure the inverter is off before attempting to ground. Operating an
inverter that is not properly grounded may result in electrical shock.
•
Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage
to the inverter and will void warranty.
•
Making the 12V connections to the Inverter Terminals may cause a spark as a result of
current flowing to charge capacitors within the inverter. This is a normal occurrence. Due
to the possibility of sparking, however, it is extremely important that both the inverter and
the 12 volt battery be positioned far from any possible source of flammable fumes or
gases. Failure to heed this warning could result in fire or explosion.
•
Be careful if you are hooking up the inverter to a battery just off the charger.
•
The battery is most likely the source of flammable gas. Gas from the battery is produced
during charging.
•
Battery and/or inverter terminals may be hot if the unit has been operated at full capacity,
or has tripped from an overload. Caution when touching or servicing these connections.
•
This is not a toy-keep away from children.
Circuit Breaker
The AC outlets are controlled by the Circuit Breaker. This device will shut the power off
automatically when the AC output is over limit, this may occur to all AC outlets or only one single
AC outlet. The Inverter can be turned on again after the AC plugs have been removed from the
AC Outlets and push the circuit breaker reset button(s).
