Overheating protection
- If the internal temperature of 65°C is exceeded, the unit switches off automatically. After a
cool-down period of approx. 15 minutes, the unit can be switched on again.
Precautions
•
If connected directly to a battery or similar unit, please check that the battery clamps are connected with the
correct polarity - Red terminal is positive (+) and black terminal is negative (-).
•
Ensure that the incoming current does not exceed 56 amperes.
•
At regular intervals, check that the plug and connections are tight. Loose connections can generate heat and/or
damage the power inverter or the power source.
•
Improper use of the power inverter can cause injuries.
•
If the external cord of this inverter is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord or assembly by contacting the
After Sales Support Helpline.
FUSE
The power inverter is fitted with two 35 amp fuses. In the event that the leads are incorrectly attached and the unit fails
to operate, it will be because the fuses have blown. You will need to take the unit to a certified licensed electrician to
have the fuses replaced. Under no circumstance are unlicensed electrical persons permitted to open the unit to replace
fuses or conduct other repairs.
CONNECTING AN APPLIANCE
•
The output of a connected appliance should lie within the specifications of the power inverter.
•
Insert the plug into a socket of the power inverter.
•
Press the “On” switch - when the green LED lights up the unit is operational.
•
The LED will turn off if the voltage drops below 10 V and the power inverter switches off - switch off the appliance
and disconnect the plug.
•
If the external flexible cord of this inverter is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
CAUTION: Never draw power from the power inverter with a bare cable. Use only a matching power plug for
connection.
RECHARGEABLE UNITS
CAUTION:
A few battery chargers are not compatible with modified sine wave inverters. These are typically small,
rechargeable, battery operated devices like portable/rechargeable flashlights, shaving razors and night-lights that are
plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
Some chargers for battery packs used in power tools may not be compatible. Check with the products’ instruction
manual to see if it suitable to use with a modified power inverter. These chargers typically have a warning label
indicating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals. Only a pure sine wave inverter should be used
with these types of appliances. Damage to the device could result if you attempt to use them with any type of modified
sine wave inverter.
CAUTION: Some rechargeable units can be directly connected to standard sockets. These units can damage
the power inverter.
