Operation
1.Prior to plugging in device, make sure the device is OFF.
2.Connect the device’s electrical plug into the inverter
receptacle.
3.Turn the inverter ON/OFF switch, to ON position. If the
inverter is working properly, a green LED indicator on the
front panel will light. Now turn on the device(s). If the green
indicator remains ON, then the system is operating properly.
If inverter alarm sounds or red LED indicator light turns ON,
turn OFF the device(s) then turn OFF the inverter immediately.
See the trouble shooting guide. The inverter may have been
over loaded or the input voltage may be too low.
IMPORTANT: To achieve inverter maximum power output,
user must run vehicle while the inverter is in use.
CAUTION:Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a
separate charger, which can be connected into this inverter
AC receptacle(s). Westward inverters are engineered to be
used with these products. However, certain rechargeable
devices are manufactured with built-in chargers (see device
owner’s manual). This category of devices may cause
internal damage to inverters and should not be used with this
inverter. The temperature of device(s) must be monitored for
first 15 minutes of operation. Abnormally elevated tempera-
ture of device(s) is an indication that they should not be used
with this inverter.
Maintenance
Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate
charger, which can be connected into this inverter power
receptacle.
Westward inverters are engineered to be used with these
products. However, certain rechargeable devices are
manufactured with built-in chargers (see device owner’s
manual). This category of devices may cause internal damage
to inverters and should not be used with this inverter. The
temperature of device must be monitored for first 15 minutes
of operation. Abnormally elevated temperature of device is an
indication that they should not be used with this inverter.
Power Source
This inverter must be connected to a 12 Volt DC Negative
Ground ignition system battery in good condition. Most
vehicles are negative ground systems (see vehicle owner’s
manual for ignition system identification).
• Do not connect this inverter to a 6 or 24 Volt battery system.
• Do not use this inverter with positive ground vehicle to avoid
damage to the inverter.
DETERMINE POWER REQUIREMENT
To determine maximum power required, add up the wattage
of all devices to be operated with this inverter
simultaneously. If the wattage of the
device(s) is not available, but the current draw (amp) is given,
simply convert to wattage using this formula:
VOLT (V) X AMP (A) = WATT (W)
EXAMPLE: 110 VOLT X 7 AMP = 770 WATT
