Start up and Operation
Connect the delivered line cords to the corresponding inverter’s terminals
(black cord to negative terminal (5) and red cord to positive terminal (1)).
Unscrew the knurled screw and put the cord (red and black) to the stud
bolt. Slide the tooth washer onto the spike and retighten the knurled screw
(without using tools).
Connect the inverter’s line cords with the supplying battery. Please pay
attention to connect the red cord to the positive terminal and the black cord
to the negative terminal. Now use the on/off switch (9) to switch on the
inverter. The green LED (7) lights up. Connect the desired device to the
earthed socket (6).
IMPORTANT: Always switch on the inverter first before switching on the
connected device. When switching off, first switch off the device and then
the inverter.
If the inverter emits an alarm signal sound and the red LED (10) lights up,
the battery is almost drained and the inverter will switch off automatically
within a few minutes. It also switches off automatically if the connected
device’s total wattage exceeds the inverter’s output-capacity and if the
inverter’s temperature exceeds 60°C due to prolonged use.
Notes
Always disconnect the inverter while
- it is not in use
- you want to start the engine
- you are charging the battery with a charger
If the inverter emits an alarm signal sound (supplying battery’s voltage
below 10.5 ± 0.5 V), switch off the connected device and disconnect the
inverter from the battery. Otherwise, the inverter automatically switches off
after a short while (voltage below 10 V ± 0.5 V) to eliminate the possibility
of being stranded with a dead battery.
Note that - while in use - the inverter drains the supplying battery. If the
warning signal appears and the red LED lights up, switch off the inverter to
prevent further discharge. Now recharge the battery.
Always pay attention to the proper polarity of the connected line cords.
The following actions can lead to the DESTRUCTION of the inverter:
- wrong cable connection (polarity)
- simultaneous connection of inverter and charger to the battery
- connection of the inverter to a power source with more than 15 V
