Product description
•
12 V DC to 230-240 V AC power inverter. Connects to
your car’s 12 V cigarette lighter socket.
•
Designed to be placed in your car’s cup holder.
•
Allows 230-240 V devices (TVs, digital receivers, stereos,
etc.) to be used in your car, boat, caravan, etc. Can
also be connected to battery chargers for laptops, digital
cameras, drill/drivers, etc.
•
USB outlet for charging digital cameras, MP3 players,
etc. (5 V, max. 500 mA).
•
Built-in overload protection and low-voltage protection.
•
Rated for 100 W of continuous power.
Use
1. Connection:
A. Plug the inverter into the car’s cigarette lighter outlet
(12V).
B. Push the on/off switch to switch the inverter on.
C. The Indicator lamp will be blue when the inverter is
switched on and correctly connected.
D. Finally: Connect the load device’s plug to the outlet on
the inverter.
2. Switching off:
A. Push the on/off switch to switch the inverter off.
B. The indicator lamp will go off.
C. Disconnect the load device from the inverter’s outlet.
D. Finally: Disconnect the inverter from the car’s cigarette
lighter outlet.
3. Place the inverter in your car’s cup holder or other
appropriate location, well protected from rain and
moisture and with good air circulation so the inverter does
not overheat.
Also, do not place the inverter in direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
4. Both the USB port and 230-240 VAC socket can be used
at the same time.
5. The inverter can manage 100 W of continuous power.
Make sure that the load devices have a lower power
consumption than 100 W.
All electrical products have a rating for power
consumption listed in A or W.
Example: If power consumption is given in A you would
calculate W as follows: A rating of 2.2 A (240 V AC) =
power in W: 2.2 x 240 = 528
6. Press the power switch to switch off the inverter.
N.B. Pull the plug out when the inverter is not in use.
N.B. Make sure that the vehicle’s battery is fully charged
when using the inverter without the engine turned on. Make
sure that you do not drain the battery so much as to cause
starting problems.
N.B. The USB port on the inverter does not support data
transfer. It is only an outlet providing 5 V/500 mA DC for
charging/powering USB devices.
Warning! Do not connect any sensitive devices which need
sine wave AC voltage (the inverter produces a modified
square waveform). Check the product’s instruction manual
or consult a tradesman if you are at all uncertain.
The inverter’s protective features
•
Low voltage protection: Low voltage is not damaging to
the inverter but can damage the connected load device.
The inverter shuts off when battery voltage goes below
10.5 (+/-0.5) V DC.
•
Overvoltage/Surge protection: The inverter shuts off when
battery voltage exceeds 16 (+/-0.5) V DC.
•
Short-circuit protection: The inverter shuts off
automatically whenever a short-circuit is detected.
•
Overload protection: The inverter shuts off automatically
when overloaded (power output over 100 W).
•
Overheating protection: The inverter shuts off
automatically when the temperature becomes too high.
Turn off the connected load device and let the inverter
cool for about 15 minutes.
