INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Wagan Tech
®
Slimline
™
Power Inverter. With minimal care and
proper treatment, it will provide years of reliable service.
This power inverter converts direct current (DC) to alternating household current (AC). This
inverter operates from a DC power source only. The level of direct current allowed by this
inverter is 12V DC.
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 20 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
voltage 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.
