conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the

Warning!
Do not connect to ac wiring.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF
THE POWER INVERTER
Your appliance monitors the following potentially
hazardous conditions:
Low battery voltage.
This condition is not harmful to
the appliance but could damage the power source. The
appliance automatically shuts down when input voltage
drops to 10,5 +/– 0,5 volts. When the condition is
corrected, turn the appliance off and then on.
Over voltage.
The power inverter will automatically
shutdown when the input voltage exceeds 15,5 +/–
0,5V dc.
Short circuit.
A reverse polarity or short circuit
condition may cause external or internal fuses to open
and may cause irreversible damage to the appliance.
Take extra care to insure a correct polarity connection.
Overload.
The power inverter will automatically shut
down when the continuous load exceeds 500 watts.
When the overload is removed, reset the appliance by
turning it off and then on again.
Over temperature.
If the temperature inside the
appliance is too high, the appliance will automatically
shut down. Allow the appliance to cool for at least
15 minutes before restarting after a heat-related
shutdown. Unplug the appliance while cooling.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
For best operating results, the inverter should be
placed on a flat and/or solid surface. The inverter
should only be used in locations that meet the
following criteria:
DRY:
Do not allow water or other liquids to come into
contact with the inverter.
COOL:
The surrounding air temperature should be
between 5°C and 40°C. Keep the inverter away from
direct sunlight, when possible.
WELL VENTILATED:
Keep the area surrounding the
inverter clear to ensure free air circulation. Do not
place items on or over the inverter during operation.
The inverter will shut down if the internal temperature
gets too hot. Refer to the Protective features section of
this instruction manual for more information.
SAFE:
Do not use the inverter near flammable
materials or in any location that may accumulate
flammable fumes or gases. This is an electrical
appliance that can briefly spark when electrical
connections are made or broken.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Audio/Visual Problems
Buzzing Sound In
Audio Systems
Some inexpensive stereo
systems make a buzzing
sound when operated from
an inverter because the power
supply in the electronic device
does not properly filter the
modified sine wave. The only
solution to this problem is to
use a sound system that has
a higher quality power supply.
Television
Interference
The inverter is shielded to
minimize interference with
television signals. However, in
some instances, interference
may still occur, particularly
where television signals
are weak. Try the following
corrective measures:
•
Place the inverter as far as
possible from the television,
the aerial or cables. Use
an extension cable, if
necessary.
•
Readjust the orientation of
the inverter, the aerial or
cables and the television
power cord to minimize
interference.
•
Make sure the aerial or
cable feeding the television
provides an adequate
(“snow free”) signal and that
high quality, shielded aerial
or cable is used.
•
Do not use the inverter
to operate high-power
appliances or tools at the
same time you are using it
to operate the television.
Common Power Output Problems
If the inverter on/
off switch has been
pressed to turn the
unit on, but there
is no mains or
USB power output
and the power/fault
LED is not lit:
•
Press the on/off switch to
turn the unit off.
•
Check the dc connections.
Tighten if necessary.
•
Check the fuse in the dc
vehicle power cord plug.
Change if necessary.
•
Press the on/off switch again
to turn the unit back on.
Common Power Output Problems
If the inverter on/
off switch has been
pressed to turn the
unit on, but there
is no mains or
USB power output
and the power/
fault LED flashes,
then one of
the following
conditions has
occurred:
•
Low battery voltage.
•
Over voltage.
•
Short circuit.
•
Overload.
•
Over temperature.
Press the on/off switch to
turn the inverter off, correct
the fault and then press the
on/off switch again to turn
the inverter back on.
MAINTENANCE
From time to time wipe the outside casing of the
inverter with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive
or solvent-based cleaner. Do not immerse the inverter
in water.
Warning!
Before performing any maintenance or
cleaning on the inverter, disconnect it from any power
source.
Replacing the fuse in the dc power
cord plug
•
Remove the grooved cap by turning it counter
clockwise.
•
Remove the rubber washer, centre pin and the
spring.
•
Remove the fuse.
•
Fit a new fuse of the same type and size (12A/250V).
•
Install the centre pin, spring and rubber washer.
•
Install the grooved cap by turning it clockwise onto
the plug.
