Please follow the following to connect your inverter with 12V cigarette lighter:
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!
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) Insert the 12V cigarette lighter into the 12V DC accessory socket in the
vehicle.
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.
7) When the power inverter is not in use, disconnect the 12V cigarette lighter
from 12V socket to prevent unintended battery discharge.
Caution!
Caution!
As the battery is used, its voltage begins to fall. When the inverter senses that
the voltage at its DC input has dropped to the range of 10.7~11.3V DC, an
audible alarm sounds. This allows time for computers or other sensitive devices
to be shut down. If the audible alarm is ignored, the inverter will automatically
shut down when the voltage dropped to the range of 10.2~10.8V DC,
preventing the battery from being over-discharged. Turn off any devices that the
inverter is powering. When input voltage rose to 11.7V~12.3V DC, inverter
restores normal. Although the inverter incorporates protection against
over-voltage, if may still be damaged if the input voltage exceeds 16 volts.
Most vehicle batteries are designed to provide short period of very high current
for starting the engine. They are not designed for a constant “deep discharge”.
