PORTAWATTZ PowerPAC Owner’s Manual
2. Plug the AC appliance or equipment you wish to operate into
one of the two inverter outlets and switch the appliance on.
The appliance should operate normally, just as it would if
plugged into a wall receptacle.
3. As the appliance is operated, you can check the level of the
battery as detailed in Section 4.1.1. This will give you an
idea of how much time remains until the battery needs
recharging.
4. As the battery becomes nearly discharged, or “empty”, a low
voltage warning will sound. This will give you time to shut
down a computer, for example. If this warning is ignored, the
inverter will switch off automatically a few minutes later to
prevent battery damage. See Section 5.3 for full details.
5. Fully recharge the PowerPAC battery as soon as possible
after each use.
5.3 Automatic Overload, Overheating and Low
Battery Protection
The PowerPAC’s AC inverter has built-in protection against output
overload, and from overheating. If an AC appliance rated higher
than 300 watts (or which draws excessive surge power at start
up) is connected, or if the inverter exceeds a safe temperature, it
will automatically shut off. The green POWER light will go off,
the red FAULT light will switch on and an alarm will sound. To
reset, unplug the appliance and let the inverter cool. Then, switch
the inverter OFF for 5 seconds, then switch back ON. Normal
operation will resume.
If the battery is allowed to discharge excessively, damage may
occur. To prevent this, the AC inverter has a built-in audible
warning that alerts you when the battery is nearly discharged
and it is time to recharge the PowerPAC. If this warning is ignored,
the inverter will automatically switch off and the red FAULT light
will illuminate when the battery reaches “empty”. Promptly
recharge the battery. See Section 8.0.
