Thank you for purchasing the Smart AC™ 150 USB Traveler by Wagan Tech®.
With normal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service.
Please read all operating instructions carefully before use.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Read, understand, and comply with these instructions before using this inverter.
Keep this User’s Guide for future reference.
This inverter is powered from a 12 volt DC source and provides 150 Watts AC
60Hz through two North American standard outlets. The AC waveform is a
modified sine wave (MSW) which approximates the sine wave of household
electrical service. This inverter powers AC appliances up to 150 watts. An
attached DC power cord connects to a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket. There
is a USB power port that can be used to charge cell phones, digital cameras,
and MP3 players. Safety features include automatic shutdown in the event of
overheat, overload, output short circuit, and input short circuit.
WARNINGS
• Keep the inverter away from children.
• Do not operate the inverter with wet hands to prevent electrical shock
hazard.
• This device produces voltage similar to wall outlets at home and should be
treated with the same caution.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT/USER RESPONSIBILITY
• The 12 volt supply must provide between 10 to 15 volts DC
• Make sure the inverter is connected to the correct voltage and polarity.
• Unplug or disconnect the inverter when it is not in use.
• Unplug the inverter when starting the vehicle's engine.
• Keep at least one inch of clearance around the inverter for air flow.
• Keep the inverter and all cords dry.
• Secure the Inverter to keep it from changing position while the vehicle is
moving.
• Know the wattage requirements of your appliances. Appliance total
wattage can not exceed 150 watts.
• Do not connect the inverters AC output to another AC power source.
Damage will result, voiding the inverter's warranty.
• Do not use an extension cord between the DC power source and the DC
input of the inverter. An extension cord can create a voltage drop that can
reduce efficiency and output.
OPERATION
Verify the fuse size of your vehicle cigarette lighter socket. If the fuse is a 10A
fuse, your output will be limited to 120W. Most recent vehicle models come with
15A fuses.
The cigarette lighter Adapter (DC plug) is fused at 20 amps. The plug allows the
Inverter to be easily connected to a cigarette lighter socket or accessory socket in
a vehicle. Removing the accessory socket plug allows the inverter to be powered
from an airline power receptacle.
FOR POWER CORD WITH CIGARETTE LIGHTER ADAPTER
INSTALLED:
• Insert the DC plug into the vehicles accessory socket
• Turn the ignition switch to the accessory position, if necessary.
• Insert appliance plug(s) into AC socket(s) at the front of the inverter.
• Turn on the power switch that is located on the top of the Inverter
• The green LED will light to confirm that AC output is present.
• After use, turn OFF the inverter and disconnect the plug from the accessory
socket.
