Please follow the following to connect your inverter:
1) Attach the ring type connector marked with red to the red (+) DC terminal and the ring connector marked
with black to the black (-) DC terminal on the inerter.
Caution!
Reversing the polarity will damage to the inverter and void the warranty.
2) Tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug. Do not over-tighten.
3) Attach the black (-) clip to the black (-) battery terminal.
4) Attach the red (+) clip to the red (+) battery terminal. Make sure both clips are securely connected to the
battery terminals, as a loose connection will cause the voltage to drop and may cause the cables to overheat,
resulting in equipment damage or fire.
5) Turn on the inverter.
6) Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and switch them on, one at a time.
Caution!
If there are one more AC products connecting to the inverter, turn on the larger power product first.
7) If the Wattage draw of your devices exceeds the inverter’s capacity, the unit will shut down and the
indicator light will flash.
8) When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the DC cable clips from the battery to prevent
unintended battery discharge.
Caution
As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall. When the inverter senses that the voltage at its DC input has
dropped to the range of 10.7~11.3V DC, an audible alarm sounds. This allows time for computers or other
sensitive devices to be shut down. If the audible alarm is ignored, the inverter will automatically shut down when
the voltage dropped to the range of 10.2~10.8V DC, preventing the battery from being over-discharged. Turn off
any devices that the inverter is powering. When input voltage rose to 11.7V~12.3V DC, inverter restores normal.
Although the inverter incorporates protection against over-voltage, if may still be damaged if the input voltage
exceeds 16 volts.
Caution!
Most vehicle batteries are designed to provide short period of very high current for starting the engine. They
are not designed for a constant “deep discharge”. Constantly operating the unit from a vehicle battery until the low
voltage shut off will affect the life of the battery. If you are operating electrical products for extended periods of
time, you should consider connecting the unit to a separate deep discharge battery.
