PoWeRIng A 110V AC DeVICe
There are two-110 volt AC POWER outlets
located on the front panel.
To operate a 110 volt AC device:
1. Make sure the device to be powered
is OFF.
2. Plug the 110V AC device power cord
into a AC POWER outlet located on
the front panel. Push the INVERTER
switch located on left side of front
panel to ON (I). The digital display
will show
0
.
3. Turn ON the 110V AC device. The
digital display will show the draw of
watts from device plugged in.
4. If a device will not operate properly
when first connected to the inverter,
push the INVERTER rocker switch
ON (I), OFF (0), and ON (I) again in
quick succession. If this procedure
is not successful, it is likely the PP-
18400CI inverter does not have the
required capacity to operate the
device(s) in question. Make sure the
wattage does not exceed 400.
5. Turn OFF (0) the INVERTER switch
when finished.
6. Charge the PP-18400CI as soon as
possible after each use.
CAUTION:
Incorrect operation of your
inverter may result in damage and per-
sonal injury. Electrical current on a 110
volt circuit can be very dangerous.
tRoUBleShootIng the InVeRteR
1. Alarm sounds, and device plugged
in shuts off.
Continuous load demand or wattage
exceeds 400 watts. Push INVERTER
switch to the OFF (0) position.
Determine source of problem, and re-
solve it before reusing the inverter.
2. the Alarm Sounds.
Voltage from the internal battery
drops to approximately 10.5 volts.
When the power input drops to ap-
proximately 11 volts an alarm will
sound for an extended period.
3. Inverter shuts down.
The PP-18400CI inverter temperature
exceeds 145º F.
NOTE:
The PP-18400CI is fitted with
a cooling fan that runs continuously
for loads drawing 25 watts or higher.
If cooling fan is unable to maintain
a cool enough temperature for safe
operation, inverter will automatically
shut down. If inverter automatically
shuts down or a continuous audible
alarm is heard, push INVERTER
switch to the OFF (0) position. Deter-
mine source of problem, and resolve
it before reusing the inverter.
