check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave source. Multiply: AMPS X 110 (AC voltage) = WATTS This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance. Multiply: WATTS X 2 = Starting Load This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of your appliance. Most often the start up load of the appliance or power tool determines whether your inverter has the c

Important The inverter is designed to operate from a 12-volt power source only. Do not attempt to connect the inverter to any other power source, including any AC power source. Do not attempt to extend or otherwise modify the 12-volt power cord attached to your inverter. Improper use of your inverter may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life. A. ON/OFF Switch. The current flowing from the power source to the inverter is controlled by this switch. It does not con

When you operate the inverter for long periods of time combined with a high continuous load demand, the result will be a large power drain from the battery. With this in mind, check the reserve capacity of the battery you plan to use to power your inverter. To calculate the approximate power drain on your battery you will want to estimate the reserve power ("amp/hour") of the battery and the amps the inverter will require, to meet the continuous load demand of the appliance. 1. When calcul

Note: Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage, which may cause damage to the wires and insulation. Failure to make a proper connection between the inverter and the power source will result in reverse polarity. Reverse polarity will blow the internal fuses in the inverter and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity is not covered under the warranty. Making the connection between the Positive terminals may cause a spark as a resu

Television and Audio Suggestions Although these inverters are shielded and filtered to minimize signal interference, some interference with your television picture may be unavoidable, especially with weak signals. However, here are some suggestions that may improve reception. 1. First, make sure that television antenna produces a clear signal under normal operating conditions (i.e., at home plugged into a standard 110V AC wall outlet). Also, ensure that the antenna cable is properly shield

Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of heat. Do not leave the inverter in the passenger compartment of your vehicle. Store in a cool dry place. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. Ideal air temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F. In order to properly disperse heat generated while the inverter is in operation, keep it well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the inverter. Do

Always make certain the power cable terminal connections run Negative (-) to Negative (-) and Positive (+) to Positive (+). Check these connections frequently to make sure they are remain secure. Use the heaviest gauge wire available to connect the inverter to the power source. While connecting the inverter to the power source, make certain that the inverter is positioned far away from any potential source of flammable fumes or gases. Always ground the inverter before operating it.
