Powering Up
To apply power to the CPI 130,
simply plug in to 12 Volt DC
source (cigarette lighter).
Power/Fault Indicator
The "fault" indicator of your
CPI 130 will light whenever
the unit detects excessively
high or low input voltage,
or begins to overheat.
CAUTION NOTE
: Make sure
you unplug inverter from
power source before you
leave your vehicle.

Power Output
AC Output:
Your CPI 130 will deliver
130 watts continuously.
(
NOTE:
the wattage rating
applies to resistive loads.)
USB Output:
5 Volt continuous output.
Input Voltage
Your CPI 130 will operate
from input voltage ranging
from 10 to 15 volts.
Optimum performance occurs
when the voltage is between
12 and 14 volts.
The inverter will automatically
shut down if the input voltage
drops below 10.0 ± 0.3 volts.
This protects the battery
from being over-discharged.
The inverter will restart when
the input voltage exceeds
12.0 ± 0.3 volts.
The inverter will also shut
down if the input voltage
increases to 15.5 ± 0.5 volts.
This helps protect the unit
from damage due to excessive
input voltage. Although the
inverter is protected in this
way, it may still be damaged
should the input voltage
exceed 16 volts.
Automatic Shutdown
The unit will automatically
go into thermal shutdown if
it becomes overheated due to
excessive input voltage, poor
circulation or high ambient
temperature.
