CAUTION: DO NOT connect the RPPD1500 to live AC power circuits. Damage to the inverter will result even if the power switch is in the OFF position. DO NOT connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor connected to ground. DO NOT expose the RPPD1500 to air temperatures in excess of 104°F. DO NOT use the RPPD1500 on the following items: 1. Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors and nightlights that can be plugged directly into an AC outlet to recharge. 2. Certain ba

INSTALLATION: Selecting a suitable location The RPPD1500 must be installed in an area that meets the following requirements in order to operate safely and provide optimum performance: 1. DRY: DO NOT expose the unit to moisture. 2. COOL: Ambient air temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F. Cooler areas are best. 3. VENTILATION: Allow at least 4 inches of clearance above and around all sides and top of the unit for proper cooling. 4. SAFE: DO NOT install the RPPD1500 in a compartment with bat

Connect the Power Cables to the Inverter: Connect cable to the Power Input Terminals on input end of the inverter. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black terminal is negative (-). Unscrew the terminal on the inverter and install the appropriate color (black to black and red to red) ring-terminal of the cables and tighten the screws to clamp the wires securely. NOTE: It is a good idea to check and tighten these screws from time to time. They can become loose by vibrations or thermal cycli

position, but no power is being supplied to a load, the inverter draws less than ½ amp from the battery. This is low current draw. It would take more than a week to discharge a 100 ampere hour battery at this rate depending on the age of the battery. For safety disconnect the RPPD1500 from the battery when not in use. Input Voltage Output Wattage Output Kilowatts Operating Indicators: Indicators on the output end of the unit show the inverters power status and alarms for conditions that could

High Voltage Protection: If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself, the meter will flash (OUP) to indicate Over Voltage Protection, and an alarm will sound. To restore normal operation, return the DC input voltage to less than 15V. The inverter will automatically return to normal operation. CAUTION: Although the inverter has protection against over-voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage were to exceed 16 volts. Over Temperature Prote

expect an operating time of 2 to 3 hours. It is recommended that you start your vehicle once an hour when using the RPPD1500 for extended periods of time to prevent draining the battery. WARNING: To prevent personal injury or loss of life, never start or leave your engine running in a poorly ventilated area such as a garage. Helpful Formulas: To Convert AMPS to WATTS: AMPS X VOLTS = WATTS To Convert WATTS to AMPS: WATTS ÷ VOLTS = AMPS These formulas yield a close approximation of the con
