2. OPERATION STEPS
1. Make sure environment is cool and dry.
2. Plug the unit into the vehicle’s accessory outlets.
3. Rotate the plug slightly to ensure good and firmly connection.
4. Green LED light on indicates a proper operation.
5. Plug in the AC appliance.
The vehicle’s accessory outlets must provide between 11 and 15 volts DC and must be able to
supply the necessary current to operate the load. To obtain a rough estimate of the current (in
amperes) the power source must deliver; simply divide the power consumption of the load (in
watts AC) by 10.
Example: lf a load is rated at 80 watts AC, the power source must be able to deliver: 80 divided
by 10=8 amperes
Testing is the only definitive way to determine whether a specific load can be started and how
long it can run. The unit will shut down if it is overloaded.
CAUTION:
Check the maximum supply current of your vehicle’s 12V outlet by referring to your
vehicle’s owner manual.
CAUTION:
The unit must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12
volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery, and will sustain permanent damage if
connected to a 24 volt battery.
CAUTION:
Do not use with positive ground electrical systems. (The majority of modern
automobiles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground).
3. PROTECTIVE FEATURES
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
– If the temperature inside the unit is too high, the unit
will automatically shut down. Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before restarting after a
heat-related shutdown. Unplug unit while cooling.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION
- The unit automatically shuts down when input
voltage drops to around 10.0 volts. When the condition is corrected, the unit may be restarted.
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION
– The unit will automatically shut down when the input voltage
exceeds 15.5 volts DC.
