Installation Guidelines
5.1 Selecting a Suitable Location
For safe and optimum performance, install the PORTAWATTZ 400 in
a location that is
Dry
. Do not expose to water drip or spray.
Cool
. Operate only in ambient temperatures between 32°F (0°C)
and 104°F (40°C). Keep away from furnace heating vents or other
heat producing equipment.
Well ventilated
. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance above and
on all sides of the PORTAWATTZ 400 for proper cooling.
Safe
. Do not install PORTAWATTZ 400 in a compartment with
batteries or flammable liquids, such as gasoline, or explosive
vapors.
Clean and free of dust and dirt
. This is especially important
when the PORTAWATTZ 400 is used in a work environment, such
as a mobile service vehicle. Metal dust from key cutting machines
or from grinding other types of metals can damage the
PORTAWATTZ 400 if it gets inside the housing (will also void
your warranty).
Relatively close to the battery source
(when installed
permanently). This will minimize the cable length from the battery
to the inverter. It is better to run an extension cord from the AC
outlets of the inverter to your product, than add additional cable
length from the battery to the DC terminals.
WARNING:
To prevent overheating and the potential for fire,
do not cover or obstruct the ventilation holes or fan opening
on the PORTAWATTZ 400.
WARNING:
The PORTAWATTZ 400 contains components,
which may produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion,
do not install in compartments where batteries, flammable
liquids, or explosive vapors may be present, or in locations
that require ignition protected equipment.
5.2 Using the DC Cable - Plug
Due to limitations in the common 12-Volt outlet in a vehicle or boat,
the PORTAWATTZ 400 should only be used to supply AC power to
products that require 150 Watts (about 1.3 Amps) or less. If your
application requires more than 150 Watts (but less than 400 Watts
continuous) or has a high start-up surge, see Section 5.3.
