Arkpak AP730, Instruction Manual

USING THE 240V AC INVERTER

The AC socket is powered by an internal inverter that converts 12V DC to 240V AC with a continuous 
power output of 300W. The inverter also has a USB 5V DC output socket for charging cameras, MP3 
players or SatNav units. To use the AC socket or 5V USB socket the inverter on/off switch must be 
switched on and the main isolator switch must be in the “on” position. The inverter is protected by a 
30A fuse on the underside of the lid. Do not connect high power appliances like a hair dryer or kettle to 
the inverter as this may cause damage. Also the modified wave inverter in the AP730 cannot be used 
with fluoro lighting.

The inverter will start to sound a warning alarm once the battery voltage is getting low and reaches 
approximately 11V. At this stage the inverter should be switched off or the device disconnected. If this 
is not done the inverter will switch itself off when the battery voltage reaches approximately 10.5V. The 
inverter can be used outdoors but not in wet weather.

WARNING

 – DO NOT connect high power appliances like a hair dryer, iron, toaster, 

heater, corded power drill or kettle to the 240V outlet as they greatly exceed the max 
power output of the inverter and may damage it.
