The AC socket is powered by an internal inverter that converts 12V DC to 240V AC with a continuous power
output of 300W. This is a modified inverter which also has a USB 5.0V DC output socket for charging
cameras, MP3 players or SatNav units. To use the AC socket or 5.0V USB socket the inverter on/off switch
must be switched on and the main isolator switch must be in the ‘on’ position. The inverter is protected by
a 30A fuse on the underside of the lid. Do not connect high power appliances like a hair dryer or kettle to the
inverter as this may cause damage. Also this type of inverter cannot be used with fluoro lighting.
The inverter will start to sound a warning alarm once the battery voltage is getting low and reaches 11V. At this
stage the inverter should be switched off or the device disconnected. If this is not done the inverter will switch
itself off when the battery voltage reaches 10.5V.
Inverter Warning Signals
Bip is a short sound, Beep is longer.
The inverter can be used outdoors but not in wet weather.
WARNING: DO NOT connect high power appliances like a hair dryer, iron, toaster, heater, corded power
drill or kettle to the 240V outlet as they greatly exceed the max power output of the inverter
and may damage it.
