Your 200W Power Inverter supplies 200 watts of continuous power with 400
watts of surge power. When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates
using a motor or tubes, it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This
surge of power is referred to as the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once
started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This
is referred to as the “continuous load” in terms of power requirements. You
will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to
start up and its continued running power requirements.
The inverter should be connected to your vehicle’s 12 Volt Cigarette or power
outlet socket with the two modes of DC cables. We recommend that the
equipment or appliance switch be in the “OFF” position prior to plugging into
the AC receptacle of the inverter. The green LED light will confirm that AC
power is present.
Using the DC cable with cigarette lighter plug
1) Attach the ring type connector marked with red to the positive (+) DC
terminal on the power inverter, and attach the ring connector marked with
black to the negative (-) DC terminal.
Caution!
Reverse the polarity will arouse blown fuse or damage to the inverter,
which may also be void of the warranty.
2) Tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug. Do not
over-tighten.
3) Insert the plug of this cable into the 12V outlet .
4) Turn on the inverter.
5) Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and switch
them on, one at a time.
6) If the Wattage draw of your devices exceeds the inverter’s capacity, the unit
will shut down and the indicator light will flash.
