  • Page 3: Will Void The Warranty.

    Please take the following precautions. Failure to abide by these requirements will void the warranty. Never parallel the 115v ac output of the inverter with the output from a generator or electric mains. This will instantly burn the inverter. Although this inverter has an input over voltage shut dow...

    Power equipment and appliances which operate with motors or tubes require an initial surge of power to get them up and running. This power surge is referred to as the "starting load" or "surge/peak load." (by comparison devices such as standard light bulbs do not require a starting load). Once the e...

    Selecting the optimum power source use a deep cycle battery for powering an inverter as this type of battery is designed to deliver large currents for long durations. Do not use an automotive starter battery because these batteries are designed with thinner plates to provide large current for a very...

    Regardless of the wire gauge selected to make the connections to the battery, we recommend use of an “0 ring adapter.” use of #0 gauge wire to make the connec- tions to the inverter may require a “0 to 4 gauge adapter”. Both adapters are available through electronic supply stores including radio sha...

    6. Run a ground from the ground lug terminal at the rear of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the shortest practical length of 8 awg wire. Selection of the grounding point will depend on where you are using the inverter. The ground wire may be connected to the chassis of your vehicle or...

    The output waveform of this inverter is a modified sinewave (see page 12) note: a sine wave rises and falls smoothly (at a slope) and also crosses 0v instantly at a slope. A modified sinewave rises and falls abruptly (no slope) and also sits at the 0v level for sometime before crossing over abruptly...

    The power rating commonly associated with microwave ovens is the "cooking power" which is the power being "delivered" to the item being microwaved. The actual operating power requirement rating is higher than the cooking power rating and typically is referenced on the back of the microwave. If the o...

    Installation locations the inverter will work best when placed on a reasonably flat surface. The floor of your car or truck is an acceptable location as long as the area is dry and well ventilated. To maintain the inverter in proper working condition, note the following important safety precautions:...
