Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Wagan Tech
®
400 Watt Pure Sine Wave DC to
AC Power Inverter. It delivers a true sine wave AC identical to that of commercial
power. Use this inverter to power AC appliances in your vehicle. Pure Sine Wave
AC means that your sensitive electronics such as audio/video systems, computers
and communications equipment will operate properly. Furthermore, appliances with
motors operate cooler, quieter and more efficiently when they are powered by sine
wave AC.
This inverter is powered from 12 volts DC and it will continuously deliver 400
watts (800 watts momentary peak) AC power at 120 volts, 60 Hz. Superior
surge capability of 800 watts allows the inverter to start most difficult motorized
appliances. Advanced microprocessor-controlled circuits run cooler and are more
reliable than competing units.
It also operates at high efficiency (up to 90%) that results in long run time and
extended battery life compared to other inverters with this level of power output.
A USB Power Port provides a convenient way to power USB appliances or charge
cell phones, PDAs and personal audio-video devices.
This Inverter is supplied with two power adapters cords that connect the inverter to
a DC power supply. One cord has a DC plug and the other has Battery Terminal
Clips.
This Wagan 400 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an indispensable addition to your
compliment of mobile power equipment. With minimal care and proper treatment it
will provide years of reliable service.
Read and understand this manual before installing and operating this inverter. Keep
this manual for future use.
