of this inverter. For accurate measurement of the output voltage of this unit, use a TRUE RMS reading voltmeter such as a Fluke
87, Fluke 8080A, Beckman 4410 or Triplett 4200.

CAUTION – Rechargeable Devices
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may
damage the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces
excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
CAUTION – Incompatible Products: Certain products contain power supplies or circuits that are not compatible with a
inverter using a modified sine wave output (such as this inverter) and may be damaged by using this inverter.
If your product requires pure sine wave AC input power to function properly, the instruction manual for your product could
state this. If in doubt, you should contact your product manufacturer PRIOR TO USE.
Some products must be powered from a pure sine wave power source, such as standard household power, or a "pure sine
wave" inverter in order to function properly.
Your product could be damaged by this inverter if it contains:
• Microwave ovens;
• Transformerless battery chargers
• Capacitive coupled power supplies
If an incompatible product is used with this inverter:
• The product might not operate at all, with no indication of failure. The product fuse might open as a result of trying to use it
with the inverter.
• The product might exhibit unusual operation (such as, intermittent operation, buzzing, and the like.)
Note: Some laptop computers may not operate with this inverter.
WARNING: If the product does not operate normally, to reduce the risk of injury or property damage, turn the product
off immediately and unplug it from the inverter.
Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption
in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 800 watts. If the power
consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and
heaters), which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more
current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
Inductive loads, i.e. power tools
Note: Some motors used in power tools, refrigerators and pumps require a very high surge current to start. This inverter can
handle a surge twice it's rated power but some motors require more than this when started. The inverter will not be harmed if
you try to start such a product it will simply shutdown on overload.
For safety reasons, the unit will simply shut down if it is overloaded. To restart the unit, simply unplug all appliances plugged
into the unit; press the translucent on/off button to turn it off; then press the translucent on/off button again to restart the
inverter before plugging appliances back in.
PROTECTIVE FEATURES
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Low Battery Voltage — This condition is not harmful to the inverter, but could damage the power source, so the inverter will
automatically shut down when input voltage drops below 10.5 ± 0.5 volts DC.
Input Voltage Too High — The inverter will automatically shut down when DC input voltage exceeds 16 ± 0.5 volts, as this can
harm the unit.
Thermal Shutdown Protection — The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.

Overload/Short Circuit Protection — The inverter will automatically shut down when a short circuit occurs.
OPERATING TIPS
The should only be operated in locations that are:
inverter
DRY — Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the inverter.
COOL — Surrounding air temperature should ideally be 10-20°C (50-68°F). Keep the inverter away from direct sunlight, when
possible.
WELL-VENTILATED — Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free air circulation around the unit. Do not place
items on or over the inverter during operation. The unit will shut down if the internal temperature gets too hot. The inverter
will auto-reset after it cools down.
SAFE — Do not use the inverter near flammable materials or in any locations that may accumulate flammable fumes or gases.
This is an electrical appliance that can briefly spark when electrical connections are made or broken.
READING THE POWER/FAULT LED
The power/fault LED is located inside the translucent On/Off Button. Press the On/Off Button once to turn the unit on. The
Power/Fault LED lights or flashes in one of three colors, indicating the following:
Green: The inverter is properly connected to a functioning DC power source and is operating at full voltage; the AC outlets and
USB charging port are ready to use.
Orange: The inverter is properly connected to a functioning DC power source and is operating at partial voltage. The AC outlets
and USB charging port are active; however this indicates the inverter will shut down soon as the power source voltage is low.
Red (flashing): A fault condition has occurred. The unit emits three beeps every five seconds, and the AC outlets and USB
charging port are automatically shut down. Refer to the Protective Features Section and the Troubleshooting Section of this
Instruction Manual. Press the translucent on/off button to turn the inverter off, correct the fault and then press the translucent
on/off button again to turn the inverter back on.
INSTALLATION
Your inverter will provide you with continuous electrical power when powered by a reliable 12 volt DC source, such as a vehicle
battery or a multiple battery configuration. This manual does not describe all of the possible configurations.
Mounting the Inverter
Tools Required: four BA4x14 screws in a set and Philips head screwdriver (NOT supplied).
The inverter comes equipped with mounting brackets for long-term installation. The manufacturer recommends using BA4x14
screws in a set with a standard Philips head screwdriver (none of these are supplied). User may choose to use different screws
appropriate to the mounting surface.
Secure the inverter to a flat surface, observing all cautions regarding installation found in this manual.
CAUTION
To avoid the risk of property damage, only mount the inverter on a level, stable surface, assuring that all screws are tightened
securely and observing all of the cautions and recommendations regarding installation found in this manual.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Power Inverter must be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate
from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
The standard North American 120 volt AC outlets and USB charging port allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices.
Simply plug the equipment into the unit and operate normally. Ensure that the wattage of all equipment simultaneously
plugged into the unit does not exceed 800 watts continuous.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Always connect the unit to the 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices into the unit.
Connection to Power Source
The Power Inverter comes equipped with a DC Accessory Outlet Plug and Battery Clips for connection to a power source.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE USING THE DC ACCESSORY OUTLET PLUG (UP TO 120W ONLY)
The DC Accessory Outlet Plug is suitable for operating the inverter at power outputs up to 120 watts and has overload
protection at 120W to prevent you blowing the fuse if you connect a higher rated appliance. The tip of the plug is positive (+)
and the side contact is negative (–).
The opposite end of the DC Accessory Outlet Plug has a unique connector fitted to it which will allow it to be only fitted into
the socket on the rear of the unit when there are NO battery clips connected to the unit. This is a safety feature and the design
of the plug also covers the positive (+) terminal to prevent both leads being connected at the same time.
• Connect the inverter to the power source by inserting the DC Accessory Outlet Plug firmly into the accessory outlet of a
vehicle or other DC power source.
