1. INTRODUCTION
Please read this manual carefully before installing and using your inverter, pay special attention
to the Caution statements of this manual.
2. PLACEMENT OF THE NVERTER
For the best performance of the inverter should be placed on a flat surface such as floor of the
vehicle. The inverter should be used in locations that meet the following requirements.
1.
DRY
- keep away for the water.
2.
COOL
- that surround temperature should be less than 50ºC. Do not place the inverter on or
near a heater. If possible do not place the inverter in direct sunlight.
3.
VENTILATED
- There should be at least a few centimeters of space around the inverter for air
flow. Do not place anything on or over the inverter during the operation.
4.
SAFETY
- Do not place the inverter near flammable materials or in any location which may
accumulate flammable gases such as the battery compartment of your car, truck or boat.
Never drive the car when the product is connected to the battery with the battery clamps (if
you wish to use the inverter during driving, it should be then permanently mounted and wired).
3. CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
The power source should be able to supply sufficient current to operate the load. As a rough
guideline, in a 12V rated input voltage, divide the power consumption of the load (in watts)
by 10 to obtain the current (in amperes) that power source must deliver. In a 24V rated input
voltage divide the power consumption of the load (in watts) by 20 to obtain the current (in
amperes) that power source must deliver.
Example:
In a 12V system, load is rated 150 watts. Then the power source must be able to
deliver: 150 divide by 10 = 15 ampers.
Power inverter can be connected directly to battery as well as using cigar socket available from
your vehicle.
Please, check maximum power supported by your vehicle’s cigar desk connector.
Note that cigar plug kit supplied with this unit is only capable to manage 150w.
Caution
The power source should provide a normal (12V-14V or 22-24V) voltage.
NOTE:
if your car’s lighter gets hot- it is strongly recommended to connect the inverter to car’s
accumulator directly, being carefully with the polarity.
