Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sima power inverter. It provides 115 VAC anywhere you have
12 volts DC in your car, truck, RV or boat. It is designed to be easy to use and to provide years of
dependable service.
Key Features
High-efficiency operation to provide the most output with the least battery power usage.
Advanced protection
•
Thermal Protection shuts the unit off to guard against the unit getting too hot
•
Overload Protection protects the unit from excessive loads
•
Under Voltage Protection turns the unit off to protect the battery from being over

The Sima power inverter produces a modified sine wave output which is suitable for most AC loads.
This includes lights, appliances, motors, TVs and most electronics.
CAUTION
: There are a few battery chargers that are not compatible with modified
sine wave operation. These are typically small rechargeable, battery operated
devices like razors and flashlights that can be plugged directly into an AC
receptacle to recharge. Some chargers for battery packs used in power tools also
should not be used with an inverter. These chargers typically have a warning
label indicating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
Only a true sine wave inverter should be used with these types of appliances.
Damage to the device could result if you attempt to use them with any type of
modified sine wave inverter.
Do not use the Sima power inverter with the above devices.
