INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Wagan Tech
®
Slim Line
™
Power Inverter. With
minimal care and proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service.
This User’s Manual describes the Operation, System Planning, Installation
and Maintenance of four Slim Line Power Inverters. These are: 1,000W:
#2294, 1,250W: #2005-1, 1,500W: #2004 and 2,000W: #2482. These
four inverters are similar except for AC wattage output, DC input current,
dimensions, and weight.
Your Slim Line power inverter converts 12 volt battery power into 115 volts
of AC power. You can use the inverter in your vehicle to operate many
types of appliances that use AC power such as TV, DVD player, laptop
computer, power tools, and lights for emergency or camping use.
In an industry where the actual wattage output varies so greatly, Wagan
Tech is proud to introduce TrueRated Power
™
technology. All our inverters
feature TrueRated Power. That simply means power tested and rated at
a period of 24 hours continuous usage under full load. Many competing
products claim “continuous duty”, when they are often only 30 minutes of
“continuous” duty at full output. We also build our inverters with High Peak
Surge rating to support motorized appliance start up.
Read and understand this manual before installing and operating this
inverter. Keep this manual for future use.
FEATURES
•
Two LED indicators display the operating status of the inverter.
•
Multiple AC outlets allow for more than one appliance to be powered at
the same time.
•
Mounting holes allow for safe stable installation.
•
High Peak Power: Allows you to power appliances that require large initial
start-up wattage.
•
Low Battery Alarm: The inverter sounds an audible alarm then turns itself
off if the battery becomes too low.
•
Auto Shutdown/Reset Protection: The inverter temporarily shuts itself down
to protect itself from overheating.
•
Overload/Short Circuit Protection: The inverter automatically turns itself off
if the connected load is too large or if it shorts.
WARNINGS
•
Do not attempt to open the inverter enclosure. High voltage inside the unit
is the same type of power as your electrical outlets at home.
•
Do not operate the inverter in or around water. The voltage of the unit
makes it an electrical shock hazard if operated in wet conditions. Do not let
any plugged in appliance’s cord get wet.
•
Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC power source.
•
Keep it away from children: The inverter produces power just like AC wall
outlets at home and it should be treated seriously.
CAUTIONS
•
Do not use the inverter in a positively grounded vehicle.
•
Allow at least 2 inches of clearance around the inverter for air flow.
•
If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need to secure the
inverter to prevent it from shifting around while the vehicle is moving.
•
If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all power.
•
The following operations will damage and void the warranty of the inverter:
∗
Reversing polarity by connecting DC cables to incorrect terminals.
∗
Connecting the inverter to a power source greater than 15V DC.
