Connecting Your PI-1500
to turn oN:

1.  Push the rocker switch, located on the right side, to the 

“oN” (I) position. The led indicator light should glow 

GReeN verifying the inverter is receiving power and can 

deliver power to your device. (A brief audio alarm may 

sound or red LED may flash. This is normal.) 

2.   Turn on the power source or device to be powered.

Note:

 If more than two devices are to be powered, start 

one device at a time to avoid a power surge and overload-

ing the inverter. The surge load of each device should not 

exceed 1500 watts. 
You can use an extension cord from the inverter to the 

device without significantly decreasing the power being 

generated by the inverter. For best operating results, the 

extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.

to turn oFF: 

1.  Push the rocker switch, located on the right side, to the 

“oFF” (o) position. 

2.  Turn off the power source and the device.
3.  disconnect inverter from power source and device.
4.  Wait  for  the  inverter  to  be  cool  to  the  touch  before 

disconnecting it from the power source. 

 

Note:

 The PI-1500 inverter and device should always 

be unplugged when not in use.
