4. Connecting and operating the inverter
When connecting the unit, please be sure to follow the guideline, cautions
and warnings mentioned in this manual. The inverter should be connected to
your vehicle’s 12 V battery with DC clamp cables or 12V cigarette lighter. No
devices should be plugged into the inverter until the inverter is properly
connected and the inverter’s power indicator is active.
Please follow the following to connect your inverter with clamp cables:
1) Attach the ring type connector marked with red to the red (+) DC terminal
and the ring connector marked with black to the black (-) DC terminal on the
inerter.
Caution!
Caution!
Reversing the polarity will damage to the inverter and void the warranty.
2) Tighten the nut on each DC terminal by hand until it is snug. Do not
over-tighten.
3) Attach the black (-) clip to the black (-) battery terminal.
4) Attach the red (+) clip to the red (+) battery terminal. Make sure both clips
are securely connected to the battery terminals, as a loose connection will
cause the voltage to drop and may cause the cables to overheat, resulting in
equipment damage or fire.
5) Turn on the inverter.
6) Plug the AC product(s) you wish to operate into the AC outlet(s) and switch
them on, one at a time.
If there are one more AC products connecting to the inverter, turn on the
lager power product first.
7) If the Wattage draw of your devices exceeds the inverter’s capacity, the
unit will shut down and the indicator light will flash.
8) When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the DC cable clips from
the battery to prevent unintended battery discharge.
