Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase a Samlex inverter. Our power inverters are designed
to be your best companion at home, in the office and when travelling.
The inverter can be used to operate lap tops, portable electronics, most small TVs, VCRs,
sound systems, small handy tools and other portable sensitive electronic products. This
power inverter has a rated output of 120 Watts.
General Safety
Read these General Safety, Installation, and Operation Guidelines carefully before using
your inverter.
- Keep away from children.
- Never attempt to operate the inverter from any power source other than a 12 VDC
power source.
- Make sure the power consumption of the appliance or equipment you wish to
operate does not exceed 120W.
- When operating the inverter with a car or marine battery, start the engine every 30 to
60 minutes and let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
- Do not use the inverter near any flammable gases or liquid.
- Do not expose the inverter to moisture.
- Avoid placing inverter near sources of heat or under direct sunlight.
- Make sure inverter is well ventilated during use. Keep a clear space of 10 cm around
the inverter (Fig. 4).
- The inverter has no ON/OFF switch. It will switch on automatically after plugging
into a 12V battery through the 12V plug adaptor. Unplug the inverter from the 12V
power source when not in use, as it will drain 0.5A from the battery even if no load
is connected.
