4.3 CONNECTION
TO
LOAD
The inverter is equipped with a universal AC power receptacle. Plug the cord
from the equipment you wish to operate into the AC receptacle. The green
LED indicator lights to indicate that the inverter is functioning. Make sure the
combined load requirement of your equipment does not exceed inverter’s
output rating.
The inverter is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and
electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the
power inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the
power inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is
connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.
WARNING: Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES
Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them
directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter. Do not
use the inverter to recharge items that can be plugged directly into an AC
receptacle.
This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment.
Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged
into an AC receptacle. The inverter is easily capable of running most chargers
and transformers.
4.4 PLACEMENT
OF
INVERTER
For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface, such
as the ground, car floor, or other solid surface. The power cord allows easy
positioning of the inverter. The inverter should only be used in locations that
meet the following criteria:
DRY- Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with the
power inverter.
COOL – Ambient air temperature should be between 30 degrees F (-1 degree
C) non-condensing, and 105 degrees F (40 degrees C). Do not place the
inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment which is
generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away from direct
sunlight, if at all possible.
VENTILATED – Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air
circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter during
operation. A fan is helpful if the inverter is operating at maximum power
outputs for extended periods of time. The unit will shut down if the internal
temperature exceeds operating temperatures. The unit will restart after it
cools.
SAFE – Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations
that may accumulate flammable fumes of gases.
