The Weekender is equipped with a 300 Watt, 240 Volt pure sine wave inverter.
Pure sine wave inverters differ from standard modified sine wave inverters by
releasing a more accurate voltage over time that reflects a mains power source.
As modified sine wave inverters cut voltage much faster, they do not provide
an adequate power supply for more sophisticated appliances such as voltage
conversion, and motoring products (for example, a laptop power supply
and power tools).
earth terminal point (1.)
As the Thunder Weekender is a portable power pack with a built in 240 Volt
inverter, a suitable connection needs to be made from the Weekender’s earth
terminal point (1) to a grounding point on your vehicle or boat.
If the Weekender, and the 240 Volt inverter are being used as a stand alone
power source away from any vehicle or boat input, the best earth connection
point is your battery negative terminal inside the Weekender.
Warning! Operating the 240 Volt inverter without an adequate ground connection
to the earth terminal point may cause an electrical hazard.
•
Once a correct connection is made to the Earth terminal point (1) ensure
the Weekender 240 Volt inverter control switch (5) is in the OFF position
before connecting an appliance.
•
Always check your appliance power consumption before connecting to
the Weekender 240 Volt power socket (6) making sure the product is
not rated over 300 Watt.
•
Once your appliance is connected, you can turn the 240 Volt inverter
control switch (5) ON. The green LED will be displayed if the 240 Volt
output is working.
•
If an appliance is connected to the 240 Volt power socket (6) and the
power consumption is too high, the inverters internal circuit breaker will
trip and the red LED will display above the inverter control switch (5).
The inverter control switch must be turned OFF, then the appliance
disconnected before turning the inverter control switch back on again.
