3. OPERATION
AC Outlets’ Operation
Connecting Loads:
1. Push the momentary button located directly below the LCD Meter Fuel Gauge to read the
battery’s voltage. If the voltage reading is
greater than 13V
, continue to Step 2.
2. After confirming that the appliance you plan on connecting to the Big Genny is turned off, plug the
appliance cord into one of the two AC outlets on the front panel of the Big Genny’s inverter.
3. Turn ON the inverter. Verify that the green LED is lit.
4. Turn the appliance on.
5. Plug in additional appliances and turn them on.
Note
: If an extension cord is used from the inverter to the appliance, limit the extension cord length to 25
feet or less. Make sure that the cord is safety approved and rated at 14 AWG or greater to carry the
appliance load. Remember that extension cords are intended for temporary use.
Disconnecting Loads:
1. Turn off the connected appliance.
2. Turn OFF the inverter.
3. Unplug the appliance from the Big Genny.
USB Outlet Operation
1. Plug the USB cable into the USB outlet located on the
front panel of the Big Genny’s
inverter, then into the device to be charged. Ensure that the device is charging.
2. The inverter does not have to be ON to charge devices using the USB outlet.
3. After the device is finished charging, unplug the USB cable from inverter.
Charging using the Big Genny’s Plug-In AC Charger
•
The LCD Meter Fuel Gauge will read up to
14.6V
during battery charging. This is the
voltage of the charger, not the battery
’s state of charge. The meter’s reading is only
accurate when no loads are connected and the Big Genny is not being charged.
1. Connect the charger to the Big Genny by inserting the yellow Neutrik connector into the
DC IN / CHARGER port. After inserting the connector, turn it clockwise until it locks into
place.
2. Plug the AC cord into the charger, then into an AC wall outlet or AC power source.
Never plug the AC charger into the Big Genny inverter’s socket.
3. The charger will automatically turn on after qualifying the battery. At this point, the
charger’s LED should be lit red.
4. When the charger
’s LED changes to solid green, charging is complete. At this point the
LCD Meter Fuel Gauge will read
≥14.6V
.
5.
When the Big Genny’s battery is finished charging, remove the Neutrik connector by
pulling upwards on the connector’s yellow tab and turning the connector counter-
clockwise, then disconnecting from the Big Genny.
•
Keep the Big Genny fully charged whenever possible for best performance.
Note
: Charging can stop at any time, even if
the Big Genny’s battery has only been partially
charged. No memory will develop.
